[jjb2deadly]

[mikatweed]

[Aussiechick111The]

@SolidClassic5000 i agree with you, bon jovi doesn't cut it when it comes to rugby league....Bring Back Tina Turner, NRL!

[chewie211171]

This (+Jimmy Barnes) is how Rugby League should be promoted

[Chuckles123thefish]

@chewie211171 Yeah I agree. 

[ruandted]

Thomas Keneally pay attention , this was , SIMPLY THE BEST .

[Chuckles123thefish]

I wish they would bring this song back again when they introduce all the league games on tv in NZ. I mean, we loved this song and that is one of the things that drew so many new zealanders to watch rugby league, when it really wasnt our country's main sport. and it has been at the top like rugby union and the all blacks since the 80s when it just took off here. someone tell aussie league bosses to please play this song again, pllllllllllllllease.

[4keeps1]

thats nrl bring the song back

[houchii07]

BEST AD EVER!

[SuperJayp77]

good song!

[QualityServiced]

these were the days when you all you had to do was play with the body you had of any size rather than putting 100kg of muscle on and being over 190cm.

[aquaalloy]

Yes i grew up to tina doing this.... lol

[TheAussiechick111]

this is 'Simply the best' Rugby League Promo! I hate the new one...I can't stand it!

[EmBryWolf]

i was born in 1996. the other day, my dad and i were listening to this song. dad mentioned how these promos and the grand final performance were amazing :) i just had to watch it

[rainynightss]

IS THAT MARIO IN THE WHITE SUIT

[torha9]

i just love rugby league :D

[dizzy885]

i agree one of the best rugby leage promo songs ever. they should re- release it playing this song and the old players running on the film evolve into the current players for the relevant teams. Btw stop it at 1:06 when sterlo had a whole head of hair!

[MickBSFrancis]

Some great hair.

[Kingsland7]

For a while back then we had the AFL shitting their pants, sigh.

[thepuzzlebasement]

Legends of the game!  Gotta love Big Mal! Just a freakin' BEAST!

[lank05]

BRING BACK TINA TURNER!!!

The new Bon Jovi promo SUCKS BALLS!

[mrdundee1986]

they need to do a prom like this again to fire the game back up

[1steviewonder1]

PURE AWESOME-NESS! From the time when League was sponsered by smokes. Hahaha.

[TheBlindSideFlanker]

1:03 Tina Turner is the hooker 0.o

[kenwei2000]

i love that there's a helicopter landing behind the saxophonist at 1:15

[itsame32]

greatest promo the game has ever had

[foziediver]

happy days to be in Sydney

[philster61]

I remember meeting Mel Meninga in 1990. He almost broke my hand when he shook it.

[taciturnboy88]

hey i was 2 years old LOL

[KoroRoopu]

Wow, the Queen of Rock n' Roll doing a Aussie Rugby league promo. Simply the best :P

[ruandted]

GO THE TIGERS

[stjosephwilliams]

DRAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGONZZZZZZZ­ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ! HAHAHAHAHA

[doofus02]

Lord almighty this takes me back.

[Chuckles123thefish]

Man how cool is it to find this video on youtube!! Those were the days when everyone over here in ole NZ were Aussie Rugby League mad and the Rugby Union over here were very worried they were losing us all to league, lol. I stopped watching league when Mel and Blocker Roach and Wally Lewis and them all retired. Maybe if they re-ran this advert, the people like me who loved it then, will come back and watch the new stable of players. Wow, those were the good ole days. Love this song still.

[scarefaceR18]

there will never be a BETTER or GREATER nrl promo then Tina Turner !

[simbaridge]

Aussie Rugby guys and Tina..........unforgettable and unmatched

[SHEPLMBR70]

who r the hotties? Is Any of them Mark Robert Barnes.. desperately looking for him.

[jagermasters]

HALCYON DAYS OF LEAGUE !!!

[cehisa]

Those were the good old days where it was hard footy! Brings back some memories>>>>

[damosanchex]

Fuck this brings back memories

[TheTeineioleiaeva]

bring back Tina Turner and love the hot rugby league guys...

[TheTeineioleiaeva]

RUGBY LEAGUE..best game eva sad wat happened lately wif the salary gap but theres always new and betta young players coming thru.. support the game support nrl..

[ssath09]

Super League destroyed Rugby League in Australia. It's a shadow of its former self. They'll never get this era back unless they pull it all to pieces and start all over again. RIP NRL.

[felinecarol]

This has to be one of the best Promos EVER made. I HATE NRL but this made me watch it a few times.

[ryandavo1]

best years of footy right there

[wstreetlyf]

BRING IT BACK

[chenzo1983]

this is when football was a real sport not like 2day

[saintbowen79]

when the green really was a machine.

[Tim1Mill]

This is the anthem,, whenever I hear it I think Rugby League.. bring it back

[matsmatts]

Back in the day when the game was better and so much tougher, the game is good these days but the game was billiant in the 90's.

[brooksta]

The best rugby promo ever!!! God would love to see one with Tina Turner these days with some of our hotties now! hehehe - love seeing sterlo with hair!!! I miss those times. The golden days of REAL rugby league......

[LucasJodoKast]

in the last few years RL has come back pretty stong, hopefully one day it will return to this golden age

[deepbreakfast1960]

What an incredible clever marketing idea, who else can sell a product better than, Tina Turner? No one person can outshine, Tina!

[WaggaWaggaMejyMan]

alot of people

like my mate ernie dingo

[amitavinashsingh]

Bring the Tina Turner campaign back.

[Malakhai2010]

BRING IT BACK FOR 2010!

[73karanas]

Seriously i think that no other sports ad will beat this,because it is still Simply The Best.

[Parag0n]

I remember growing up to these Promos, Simply The Best was one of THE best promo's i've seen for league, also Mal Meninga :)

[OutlawLoveSong]

Let's face it; the "Simply the Best" campaign for RL in the late 80s and early 90s was the greatest sports marketing campaign in this country's sporting history.

[latinyong]

THX A LOT FOR THIS

[fingey1]

Gavin Miller at the 1 minute mark. lol.

[felinecarol]

Why can't the guys live up to this anymore!

[markindundas]

Some do,and I admire them, the others are meathead binge drinkers

[turtle199]

they do on the field, sadly the headlines goto the few idiots

[oxxLiloxxo]

This is the best!!

[chewie211171]

this was how rugby league should be promoted. None of the recent advertising comes close to this (or the version she did with Jimmy Barnes)

[C00Lrunnings]

rugby league is just about dead.

in 20 years it really will be a two bit sport in Australia.

[Mayortwilleger]

Did you see origin III?

[123sukmeoff]

certainly did and it rushed back memories from the winfield cup days

[bigsuuze]

its soo good it makes you want to cry

[SaskiaCornell]

@bigsuuze that's for sure

[davieekient]

nicee

[bluecrush123]

OMG I wasn't born until 4 years later after this promo but just by seeing this for some reason it made me appreciate NRL more

[ugimay]

@bluecrush123 i was born in 1994 too

[jonyelmony]

TIna did the ads but Ike jas had the clear influence on the players

[rewster7]

i remember this ad quite well. reminds me of my childhood

[D0YA]

Is it just me, but in my eyes the guys who are playing around with Tina are way too muscular to be 80 rugby league players.....

They would go for todays rugby players, but back then they were much smaller....

[nobjunk87]

na wateva its cool!

[mingin001]

Tina Turner destroyed the game.

[roosters86]

Memories - here are 4 reasons the game today sucks

1. Balmain Tigers

2. Western Suburbs Magpies

3. Newtown Jets

4. North Sydney Bears (My favorite)

Bring back the late 80's, early 90's

[turtle199]

perahps if the fans attended games then those clubs would be around...

[rewster7]

have you ever seen leichhardt oval during a balmain tigers game? full house every time.

[DocMerlin]

There are three key elements here as to why Rugby League in Australian will never ever be what it was.

1) Two Logo's: NSWRL and QLDRL

2) Scrums are not packed, it's more of a group hug now

3) Sponsorship - The Winfield Cup

Thanks to anti-smokers who helped ban tobacco advertising.

Bring back the glory days!

[123carnage1234567]

soccer is the most popular sport in 226 nations. Rugby League has been unsuccessfull in France, UK, Europe and the pacific. For Rugby League to survive in australia it needs to expand to WA, SA, NT AND TAS. If not png will be the only nation playing rugby league

[danezim]

who gives a shit bout wogball, im AUSSIE and a new south welshman, League is king where i live thats all that matters to me....the rest of the world is infected with rabies too, doesnt make it good does it

[andyg256]

haha wogball. a good word that should be used more often

[bomberfan94]

LOL.

[turtle199]

ffs if you dont like league then thats your opinion..

some of us in australia and those countries do like the game and we are allowed to do so.

[SilsdenCougar]

rubbish! League had been a sucess in the said countries.

[roosters86]

Why dont you go back to your kick and giggle park while real men play a real game, you fag queen

[123carnage1234567]

shut up ur a roosters supporter haha 52-12 lol

now go touch other men u poofta

[roosters86]

one  game - thats what it was, one game, in round one by the way - when souths are on top after round 26 u can talk u filthy thong wearing toothless redfern bludger

[123carnage1234567]

im not a rabbitohs supporter thats the thing how about this

2002: Roosters 30 Warriors 8

Or

2003 Panthers 18 Roosters 6

or

2004 Roosters 13 Bulldogs 16

1 out of 3 grand finals thats sad

[rewster7]

2002: Rabbitohs 14th

Or

2003: Rabbitohs 15th

Or

2004: Rabbitohs 15th

now shut up

[jonesy101272]

There'll never be a better promo for rugby league. Who would have thought Tina Turner could take the game to a whole new level.

[ProLife7777777]

This is great - better than the complete and utter crap we have to endure now.

[pochornocatalan]

best promo ever...

[bigcheesejov73]

Song goes prfectly with the clips

[aussiewogfob]

Australia will win the next world cup...you see.

[roosters86]

who cares? its totally irralevant

[GregProwse]

I get chills and goosebumps watching and listening to these old Tina Turner commercials. The game was at its peak back then and we haven't found a decent song again since.

[sliat1981]

Any guy who watches Tina in this and is still flacid, is a homo

[kevaun69]

I watched this and got hard, and in fact happen to be a "homo." I love Tina!

[BardleyCfan]

u all r 2 funny

[kingbrenty]

the quick shot of Mario Fenech in a tux made me hard..

[andyg256]

you`re a very sick person and need help

[andyg256]

i guess she was only 49 then hahaha

[marso221]

WISHART!

[kiwigal36]

GO KIWI"S! WE WON!!!!!!!!

[churrcuz]

OMG this is so corny...lol

Shows league at its bets

Wow at this very moment im typing this im wearing that broncos jersey theyre showing...and im from new zealand.

[turtle199]

greatest sporting campaign ever!!!

[calrugbygirl]

Even tina Turner knows ruggers are SIMPLY THE BEST!!! Ruck, Maul and Scrum

Rugby Rules,

[SparkysSparklers]

What I liked about the Tina Turner vids/promo's for Rugby League, was the fact SHE, looked like she really got into it! The editing on this one was excellent, how they showed her "playing" (lol) and getting into the spirit of our great game.

I think this one is better than "What you get is what you see", only because the footage editing was better.

All in all, it was a great campaign, and I seriously think they should re-do these ads!!

Great Stuff!!!!

[blakey06]

this is officially the greatest video on youtube!

[shhhMrMiyagiSpeakin]

these were the days- news ltd is killing the game someone tell them to f off

[TheWheelieBin]

Go Wishy!

[Rug13y]

Please can you all help rugby league here in the west by emailing The West Australian newspaper sports editor to get improved coverage of RL in his paper! Craig.nitschke[@]wanews[dot]co­m[dot]au

The fledging WA Reds have to PAY to put ads in the sports section of the paper because they refuse to even give any match coverage or reports, despite them having the privvy of 'sponsoring' the Reds as shown on their website.

Thanks in advance on behalf of the WA branch of the game!

[Jazzaaaaa1]

lol i think thats fatty vautin dancing at 1.32

[ash23232]

See the Falcon and big Geno havin dinner with her, they were Lovin It! Those days were Simply the Best!!

[paulosilas]

BRING BACK TINA TURNER [2]

[Slaterations11]

Could anyone name all the players who are shown on here plz?? lol

[GodBotherer1]

Bring back the Bears, Wests, Steelers, Balmain, and the old league grounds. Get rid of Gold Coast, Melbourne, New Zealand and Sydney unless they will become East's again. Tell the corporate scum to sod off and let us kep our traditional game. Rugby League was ruined by Murdoch and corporate controllers.

Bring back sin bins and send offs, why do we have sissy refs for? Bring back the herritage.

[Reidy187]

agreed. fights, beers in the sheds after, ciggies at half time, my team were called st george and we played at kograh oval, the grand final was a sunday arvo, notice how noone goes to watch the footy anymore? I heard a story the other day of going to watch a wests v dragons game at lidcome oval. wests were sponsored by victa mowers and they had a lawn mower race around the ground at half time. the crowd would launch pies and beers at those involved in the race ahaha.

[GodBotherer1]

I still think The V8 Supercars should go back to the Labour Day Public Holiday, just to get the NRL to move the Grand Final back to the traditional afternoon.

And the only people interested in The Grand Final are the fans of the teams playing, from now on, I'm watching anything but the rugby league grand final. Until MY BEARS are back.

[turtle199]

and by doing that...the game goes back to 1908..lol get rid of Gold Coast? They are getting better crowds than these 'heritage' sydney clubs...

[grevsy]

no doubt bout having to bring back some herritage, more sin bins more blue and so forth but who in there right mind would wantr to get rid of gold coast( best crowds in nrl) melbourne (best team of the decade) and new zealand ( one most exiting teams to watch)

[GodBotherer1]

Let's see, the Gold Coast is funded by News LTD. so much, that they can bribe their way through the NRL.

Melbourne has fuck all juniors and are too fueled cash by News LTD. Plus everybody is too shit scared to speak the truth about them, or they sue like a Hollywood lawyer.

And New Zealand are just a pack of shoulder charging, professional foul, head high tackling, player maiming scumbags who'd be in gaol if it wasn't for rugby league.

[turtle199]

lol @ you....kiwis win WC

news ltd will be gone by 2014, if the nrl doesnt fuck up tv rights deal, storm will have 12 from 25 players in under 20's local players, gold coast are privatly owned

[Latinos1970peru]

BRING BACK TINA TURNER!

[luke31699]

@Latinos1970peru she is 90

[6squared9]

Brilliant. It had all the B's, Brasher Blocker and Backdoor Benny and the only shot of a West's player doing a fuckin situp.

Who the hell was the Souths guy getting crunched at 0:40?? Looked like a Mexican pornstar

[tqsuited]

I remember this ad lol Its a great ad, nice song, despite the fact i have very little interest in NRL. Also strange i remember it being in melbourne (before the storm were around obviously)

[1Dingo1]

Old Skool Legends 4 Life!
