So someone mentioned on Twitter this morning that Leeds Rhinos first 2 Tweets of the day started with B and R. Coincidence? Wishful thinking?

The last 2 Tweets started with O and D.

Croft is a Rhino!

I think it’s a coincidence but if not it’s a good bit of teasing by Phil Daly

Did notice Rob Oates had a massive grin on his face throughout that entire line of questioning. Found it baffling that after announcing the 'biggest commercial deal in Rhinos history' and then opening the floor to questions that none of the journalists there thought that asking what the value of the deal was would be a good question

So did i,i thought that would have been the first question?

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour thread V4 : Thu Oct 05, 2023 12:22 pm  

Ive heard it’s a £6m+ deal

If we have managed to get Croft I personally would wait until next week before announcing it - New player in the New kit with the New sponsors logo on it, a PR companies wet dream of an opportunity.

Is it not worth spreading it out across several announcements? Especially if social media interactions are now counted by IMG.

A shirt release is going to get a lot of interactions from people saying they love or hate it, and comparing it to precious versions. A player announcement is going to get a high of attention, too. Is it best to announce both together and watering down the opportunities for social media interaction?

Announce the player(s) first, which builds interest for shirt and season ticket sales.

If we announce Croft before the new kit is launched, Oxen can do code "CROFT20" and flog some more of last year's tat.
