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.

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.

Re: Extraordinary Rugby : Thu Sep 13, 2012 7:54 pm  
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?
