NRL Central is often accused of being flat footed with no imagination, well not anymore.
The Gurgler has been given the inside word on four of the best all new NRL initiatives which are set to be announced later in the week.
Please accept below the best of what’s coming in the NRL.
WESTS TIGERS OFFER NEW CORPORATE BOX AT LEICHHARDT MATCHES IN 2017
After the raging success of Robbie Farah’s farewell game on Sunday, the Wests Tigers are offering an all new ultimate experience for any Tigers fan.
Named the Farah Box after the club’s great servant, what better way to honour a stalwart of the club than to name the newest stand and then send them packing out the door.
The only problem it is just built for one, so is a rare opportunity for one lucky fan. Spaced is limited to the handful of Sunday afternoon at 4pm games in 2017. So get in now via the Tigers website. Or perhaps nominate a friend who always seems to bring down the atmosphere and allow you both to enjoy your day out.
It is fully catered and licensed Great vantage for coaching and undermining.
MAD MONDAY LEAVES NRL TO OPEN THE NRL OP SHOP
With exited NRL Clubs continually trying to outdo each other in the dressing up stakes each year, there is a glut of super hero costumes, causally racist sterotype outfits, and an unfortunate amount of spandex.
So the NRL being the sharp minded Governing body has decided to open up an Op Shop with the discarded garments.
With all proceeds go to Junior Rugby League, why not wear the lycra of Corey Norman or the Guantanamo Bay jumpsuit outfit donned by Brad Takairangi.
What better way to give to junior rugby league.
Shops to be opened in Ryde, Redfern, on The Strand in Townsville and Banyo.
NRL ISSUES SEDATIVES TO ALL CHANNEL 9 STAFF BEFORE JARRYD HAYNE FTA DEBUT
With Channel 9 deteremined to show as many Broncos or Sydney clashes in the last 6 weeks they missed out on their taste of Jarryd Hayne.
The Titans get their first Channel 9 game in a while, and the excitement is high as you could imagine.
But the NRL is wary of a Hayne-attack so has ordered the broadcaster to instruct all staff to have the NRL branded sedative.
They are currently used to calm down Tommy Raudonikis during Origin time and the Newcastle Knights.
NRL AND CHANNEL 9 TO COMBINE IN OFF SEASON FOR THE NRL ROOKIE 2
Fresh from the success of the NRL Rookie won by..well not quite sure, the NRL and Channel 9 are set to combine again in the off season. With a twist.
Given the trouble of recruiting new talent to the referees ranks, what better way to encourage potential new whistleblowers than with reality TV.
Erin Molan returns, and is joined by former top line referees Mogsheen Jadwat and Tony de la Heras in the search for the new person to wear the fluorescent pink and green.
