Maybe a deal like they had with Premier or similar Yeah I've heard it mentioned plenty of times. Would be good if they could get a deal, doesnt have to be worth much but would help raise the profile and possibly bring in some sponsorship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBC or Channel 5, start a regular 4 nations tournament to package with it and hey presto, you might see us claw back a few million squid . My heart had a brief moment of being full with hope at this common-sense, much needed idea… alas, we’re dealing with RL here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think next season is the first since they were on Premier that they could do it again. Doubt there's much money in it mind. I was born to run a club like this. Number 1, I do not spook easily, and those who think I do, are wasting their time, with their surprise attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do know that if Toulouse get to the final they will be at home. That’s literally the rules of the comp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s literally the rules of the comp. Have they announced that as a certainty now? As I remember, when they set out how the championship season would work this year the RFL didn't announce whether the playoff final would be at a neutral venue or highest finishing team's home ground (I assume because changing covid restrictions could have meant changing the venue later in the season). I can't recall an announcement ever being made on the final venue, but I could have missed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sports Prophet Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 7 hours ago, Dunbar said: Presentation is key. I vote we dust off Tina Turner (she is only 81), get Alex Walmsley and Sam Kasiano to run around a beach in short shorts to Simply the Best and go all out for the Gen Z audience. Remember the Extraordinary campaign for 2013? I thought that was brilliant. Any tie in with a terrestrial broadcaster must be complimented by a similar promo.

Well, I may be a little previous here. But I've already booked flights and a hotel for the final weekend.

Can't see why not ,surely the club and RL would pull out all stops to get it played ( that's if Fev get there) nothing is certain these days.

Yes, but he said "Super Greed", which is an argument that trumps both rationality and facts. Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.
