If people don't want to add anything then they don't have to. But it is a significant Rugby League event and we are in the build up week, I think having a thread on it is fair enough. 8 "The history of the world is the history of the triumph of the heartless over the mindless." — Sir Humphrey Appleby.

I haven't given NRL Round 1 much thought with both the Super League and the WCC beforehand. Now, I expect to chat about the Vegas games. 1 "The history of the world is the history of the triumph of the heartless over the mindless." — Sir Humphrey Appleby.

Damien Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I'm not sure why the old thread was locked but it's a pity. It was a pretty good thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Drake Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Just now, Damien said: I'm not sure why the old thread was locked but it's a pity. It was a pretty good thread. People had started wanging on about politics. We don't allow that in the RL section. Instant thread-killer. 2 1 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether the old gimmers sneer or not, social media influencers are a useful resource. 1 Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

Whether the old gimmers sneer or not, social media influencers are a useful resource. It will be interesting to see if the event can get a hashtag or two in the US top 10. That would be a real social media success. I still think there is room for a few more 45 second themed video releases as warm up content. Strong backing music with some great clips and hashtag them. Such as #NRLnopads (big collisions and tackles), #NRLtakeoff (spectacular winger dives and leaps), #NRLsensational (individual plays like chip and chase) and #NRLtrytime (great ball in hand trys) where the public can get behind each of these individual hashtags during the match. This is the biggest start to a season which I can remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sports Prophet Posted February 26 Author Share Posted February 26 In saying all that, I am probably most anticipating that very first hit up from the kick off. If the NRL were to pump the right players up, we can probably assure the yanks will get some sensational hits after every restart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine US broadcasts, which I assume this won't be, all have a lovely ticker across the bottom of the screen giving you scores and news updates from around the sporting world. In real time. They're great. Love them. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
