Gladiators Re-unite for TV ad. Rugby League Folk Lore recreated in Grand Style

December 13th 2007 00:27
Spot the difference?
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 yesterday to relive and recreate the infamous Grand Final moment some forty years after their historic clinch.

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.

Tell you what, this new ad is going to look absolutely awesome! I was at the filming and although I can not devulge what is going to happen in the ad, it is really exciting. It is going to be one of those ads you have to watch several times to take in everything on offer.

A huge production team worthy of Hollywood were on show at Leichardt Oval - Producers, Photographers, Camera Crew, Techies, Assistants, Tents, Make-up... It was all happening.

There were massive Green and Blue screens - similar to what is used on big buget movies the likes of the Matrix... Oh it is an exciting time to be a Rugby League fan!

Celebrating the Centenary of the game is going to be great and the ad is going to reflect 100 years of blood sweat joy and tears.


"Haven't changed a bit my friend"
