Message: [QUOTE="Twiztid, post: 2465233, member: 2144"] Ok I admit I got the information wrong there. I was going from what I had originally read back in the time of the signing of the song deal and was probably reading NRL positive spin of "we found this first", an originally unreleased Bon Jovi track for pumping crowds. Going through articles since then, I now know it was never the case (probably should have double checked that). However, it was still a song that should have had a better impact and was a perfect fit for our game. For some reason, so many NRL fans whinged about it and I can't see why? It is no different to the songs used in branding the game before it. So was it Bon Jovi or was it "too American" a song? If ACDC had actually sung the song, would it have been accepted a bit more? I also found all the songs (or most of them) the NRL has used as branding for the NRL. Boys Are Back In Town - Thin Lizzy - mid-1980s What You Get Is What You See - Tina Turner - 1989 Simply The Best - Tina Turner - 1990-95 No theme song - 1996 Two Tribes go To War - Frankie Goes To Hollywood - 1997 Super League It's My Game - NSWRL's own theme song - 1997 Tubthumping (I get knocked down! But I get up again) Chumbawamba - 1998 Blow That Whistle, Ref'' - Thomas Keneally 1999 What A Game - Tom Jones 2000 No theme song - just racing car noises to with player action- 2001 No TV advertising campaign - 2002 That's My Team - Hoodoo Gurus 2003-07 Centenary of League Campaign - 2008 Feels Like Woah - Wes Carr 2009 Fan voices (no theme song campaign) - 2010 This Is Our House - Bon Jovi - 2011 [/QUOTE]
