[quote="Khlav Kalash":ykm9glsa]It will bring publicity and social media hits, but I agree with Willzay, whilst I understand why they've done it, it's a sorry state of affairs when one of the top RL clubs has to go down this sort of attention seeking. Very much what other clubs fans used to level at Trinity in that it's tinpot.[/quote:ykm9glsa] Well it's got them exposure on a national level . It's been on 5 lives news bulletins.

I'll take Luke Littler anyday.

Sky sports friendly and also makes all those people who watch darts notice rugby league. Most stadiums have sponsorship naming rights. They get money for that. Warrington have simply swapped one day of that to get publicity which would cost them millions to actually buy.

Again I get why they are doing it, but lamenting the fact RL clubs have to do it to get noticed in the first place.

It's for one game , and it's great publicity .Just look at this thread alone , and then multiply it by 100s . Great idea and well done Warrington !!

But I can see RU, cricket, and anyone else with a stadium doing it .

[quote="Spookisback":28si4a9m]From an Australian viewpoint I can honestly say the I wouldn't be able to pick him out from a line up of suspects.... bowls is a more popular pastime here than darts claiming 'world champion' is akin to American baseball claiming 'world series'... it has no validity outside the UK (currently)[/quote:28si4a9m] He was actually featured as a guest on one of the NRL shows last year, I remember watching it. A lot bang on about lack of exposure the sport gets, then you have a massive name like Littler that talks the sport up every chance he gets and people for some reason have a problem with Warrington playing to it with a little bit of marketing.

I watch games not the associated circus
