What's that?

It's a clever marketing campaign for the playoffs to encourage people to watch live rugby league, based around how superhuman Super League players are. All well and good, but the launch date of next Monday misses week 1 of the play offs which seems a strange approach. Unless it's been done like that because week 1 games are always horrendous and week 1 crowds are always record lows for the season.

Each of the 8 teams in the playoffs have a circus style advert based around one of their players, so Warrington's is Westwood the Wrecking ball from Warrington.



One wonders what our's will be. "Wellens the sloth from St Helens" perhaps?

It's 'Roby the Dynamo' from St Helens. How imaginative.

That sounds er, great?

Great move considering that 2 of those 8 teams will have been knocked out by the time they've launched it. RL does it again...

The Rugby League of the Extraordinary? That doesn't even make sense.

Couple of them are pretty good. Hulk for Crabtree, Fireball Catalans for Pryce and the Westwood one is decent. Think the Tomkins and Roby ones "Whirlwind" and "Dynamo" are a bit 1970s.

I think it's supposed to be a play on the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

I got that bit but surely they could have come up with a better pun which at least made some sort of sense?

"Rugby League of Extraordinary Gentlemen"


why are the playoffs coming on Monday? what about this weekend?

complete shambles as usual.

The League of Extraordianary Rugby

It's more League of Gentlemen. Very local.

Every time you post I think you can't be any more of a pr**k but you always manage it. Congratulations.

The only thing extraordinary about Super League is how the powers that be stay in employment.

I think there is a germ of an idea there, but it's not very clear in the execution.

10/10 for trying though. It's a purposeful campaign to raise the profile of the game and some of its 'stars'.

RFL can do nothing right to some of you, they actually make some effort to promote our sport and people still complain.

Yes, because they are launching it after the play offs have began and two of the teams will be out! Still, they have all the money from the Stobart deal...

Because it's so purely executed it looks like a joke. Decent idea, we wouldn't be complaining had they been able to advertise and promote it correctly.

Last night was pretty extraordinary

The trailer is pretty good tbh. www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2N3mFn5Pd0
