BEHIND THE SCENES OF NRL's NEW AD - Watch the Gladiators Video!

March 12th 2008 02:00
They were enemies on the field and have been immortalized off it – the ‘Gladiators photo’ from the 1963 Grand Final embodies a century of tradition and history - their embrace has come to symbolise everything that is good about Rugby League.

Norm Provan and Arthur Summons were reunited to relive and recreate the infamous Grand Final moment some forty years after their historic clinch.

Spot the difference



Covered in layers of mud and makeup the pair are a part of the NRL’s new ad campaign designed to celebrate the game’s centenary season

Most of you by now would have seen the new ad - which uses state-of-the-art technology to combine footage old and new. It has Craig Wing passing to Ron Coote, Mark Gasnier passing to his uncle Reg and features over 80 players.

To view the ad and your chance to win some serious money goto nrl.com.au, watch the ad and you could be rolling in sweet sweet cash.

I filmed this awhile ago, but is an interesting look at the Gladiators involvement in the ad.

They are the nicest guys you will ever meet, real gentlemen of the game and worthy of immortal status.







What do you think of the new ad?
