I've seen that one myself 3 times today on Channel 4 and E4. The different promos do seem to get shown quite regularly so that looks promising. Hopefully we get two good, close fought games to kick off the coverage to encourage viewers to watch again throughout the season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I think Channel 4 have already done more promo work in a couple of months than Sky have done in the last 5 years. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think Super League would be on Channel 4, without Channel 4 moving to Leeds. The city carries the sport on its back in the UK. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been several years, and you can well imagine he’s been punished for his behaviour in many ways, so hardly consequence-free. From his twitter feed you can see he’s given up the booze and made changes in his life, I reckon everyone deserves a 2nd chance? Otherwise we’re all doomed on some level 1 Apparently this site says I "won the day" here on 23rd Jan, 19th Jan, 9th Jan also 13th December, whatever any of that means. Anyway, 4 times in a few weeks? The forum must be going to the dogs - you people need to seriously up your game. Where's Dutoni when you need him?

RL should be in absolute pole position to take advantage of London creative types who have been told they need to reflect more of the English regions in their content. I really hope RL can take advantage for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised someone who wants to beat RL with a stick hasn't done it already with him on OurLeague. It's not a comment on him, or what has happened, just the perception for the sport.

Otherwise we’re all doomed on some level That’s not for me to be the judge of. I was simply stating that he had resigned prior to the investigation into his alleged behaviours taking place. The sport has handed out enough chances (2nd, 3rd and some even further) to people in the sport. I don’t know if broadcasters are the same.

RigbyLuger Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 It's similar to those who want Wayne Godwin involved in the coverage, despite being completely unsuitable, but also it doesn't take long to find him in blackface while on RugbyAM portraying Dr. Koukash. Not calling him racist or anything, but, again, the perception isn't great at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an aside, he sent Lock Lane a good luck message before their Thatto Heath cup game the other week while driving and posted it to social media. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smudger06 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Yeah it's decent promotion on Channel 4 Corporations platforms, what's the marketing like outside Channel 4 world?

Rugby&soccerfan Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Said for years both Channel 4 or Channel 5 should take a punt on lower key sports. IMO this will be good for Rugby League main stream TV, free to air while pubs will be busy and still early in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the away side in these fixtures, they’ve both done something. Not sure if Leeds or Hull have done anything to fill the home end. Super League clubs are pretty poor on the whole at marketing and advertising anyway and I don’t really expect a lightbulb moment now, in all honesty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds extensively market their home games, I’d say better than any other Super League club. They do this for every Super League fixture, be it on Channel 4, Sky Sports, or a non tv broadcast game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
