Power Couples

[sam4731]

I was thinking about Taylor Swifts impact on the populatity of the NFL with her relationship with Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce and it got me to thinking what rugby player has brought in the most fans as a result of their relationship.

I can really only think of Jon Wilkin and Fran Halsall. Fran used to get RL questions on QoS because of Jon.

Also, which rugby player could we put with someone to generate interest in TGG if you had cupids arrow?

It's only 6pm mate, you've got a long night to go yet.

Not players but the Hetheringtons are probably the ultimate RL power couple

How bored are you?

In Australia it seems to be Nathan Cleary and Mary Fowler.

Someone married Jon Wilkin? Wow.

Most famous Rugby league "WAGs" in my mind would be Helen Skelton and Heather Small.

Georgia Stanway and Olly Ashall-Bott featured in OK magazine and pretty much all the national newspapers back when England won the Euros in 2022.

I can honestly say I don't know who that Rugby player is, and I only know there is a footballer in that couple because you said they were one.

Another Hetherington, York Valkyrie's reigning Woman of Steel Georgie gets married tomorrow to long-term partner and Knights full-back Will Dagger. 

I wonder if there'll be a name change: Georgina Hetherington-Dagger has a lovely ring to it!

What a great thread for the agony aunts of TRL Forums to get stuck into. Each to their own.

I’ve never even heard of Heather Small. 
 

Edit - just googled and of course I know who she is, I had no idea she was seeing and has a kid with Shaun Edwards though.

Mikey Lewis and Madonna.

If Rugby League players want to increase their fame and recognition in this country they need to follow the established path, and become Rugby Union coaches.

Maybe Keegan Hurst can snag some famous bloke? 

A power couple AND gay.....that would be a double whammy

I'm no betting man Harry but I we would guess you don't watch things like 'Love Island do you?

Ultimate? One half runs a major club, the other half briefly ran a mid level (no offence FC fans) SL club 15(?) years ago.

Both former presidents of the RFL, and Sheffield would never have existed without their support.

More chance of Kevin Keegan coupling up with Barry McDermott.

What impact? Genuinely curious, as it's fair to say the NFL was fairly popular in the States prior to their coming together.

Do you imagine people who had no interest in gridiron have become NFL fans because they like Taylor Swift?

"In what's since been dubbed the 'Swiftie effect', the NFL saw viewership among teen girls spike by over 50% during a popular Kansas City Chiefs game according to NBC Sports, with the team enjoying a 30% increase in fan base during the season."

[The Blues Ox]

I guess its a bit late now but Matt Sarsfield and Charlotte Dawson are about as good as we can hope for in RL.
