As it is the end of the season, am I alone in thinking that the Super League (and Challenge Cup) are well established but under-exploited brands.



Given the athletes and sport we have, why don't we have :



Super League Airline Partner

Super League Beer

Super League Telecommunications Partner

Super League Travel Partner

Super League Energy Drink Partner (Lucozade/Powerade)



ETC - repeat for CC



THe RLIF seem to be making a decent go of the RLWC - it is not time to get the same marketing agency to apply some thought to the above and other areas where these commercial "properties" can be utilised - and more of the rugby league of the extraordinary type campaigns, please.

Well seeing as we can't even get a main sponsor who actually pay us...

Cas have a drinks partner - Gatorade, and I'm sure a lot of other teams do too.



Amazingly, teams individually (especially Wigan) probably have better marketing teams than the RFL do.

Yeah, memo to Nigel.



Either put down the fork, or stay off the camera.



You’re not doing our sport any favours in our endeavours to remove the shackles of our cloth cap, pigeon fancying, slovenly northern image.



Don’t get me wrong, I’m no sizeist, however, it’s just not a good look.



Maybe it’s part of the grand plan to get Weighchers on board as the main sponsor, they could have tiny pictures of our finest players on their cake bars.

Believe it or not, the RFL had something close to that.



We've had deals with Carlsberg Tetley, even when they weren't the title sponsor and I remember Emirates having prominant branding at most if not all SL grounds.



That's what would concern me more as the RFL - not the lack of a title sponsor per se but the number of sponsors who have left the sport in recent years. Last year we had partnerships with the likes of Emirates, William Hill, Holiday Inn and De Walt - all of who have vanished.

I thought we had the lad who single handedly transformed Manchester City into a multi-billion turnover business running the marketing effort at the RFL now? Surely he can pull a few strings and get some multi nationals on board (Etihad would be a good start).

I thought it was Man United he came from.

Jacamo Superleague?

I was of the understanding St’s already hold the copyright, or has old Johnny been binned off for Freddie?

you do know the RFL is organizing the world cup for the RLIF don't you?

So if you don't like decisions made around the above subject areas, perhaps memos to the clubs would be more appropriate than to Nigel Wood?

you've got to be impressed with them suits and waistcoats he wears. I mean there's some material gone into them.



AND, bear in mind, they're probably tailored to make him look slimmer, so, just think about that.
