BIG ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THE SEA EAGLES AT 3PM TODAY
- Thread starter The Wheel
- Start date
It's kind of funny that in Australia the majority of the rugby league telegraph-reading public hate Manly because they're told to and now we're going to have a cult Maori following. Love it. Good on Mr Lowe and please get us another fella who can kick goals like Matthew Ridge. Doin' the Eagle Haka.

I guess that is one benefit, so hopefully there is something else in the pipeline. KE is this channel watched by the majority of NZers or is it a bit like a community channel?
PS When is Mata coming on to critique Lowes first major coup?
You wouldn't say it is a channel watched by the majority Wheel, as most of the programme's are spoken in Maori which stuff all people understand. It is free to air throughout the country
However they do gain most of their following through sports, covering the Breakers game during the NBL as well as doing the local league competitions. When they put on a show, it is usually quality so I am looking forward to those 13 shows

In fairness, few watched the Tour de France in Australia several years ago. SBS persisted with it, Cadel Evans came along, and now it's likely to be poached by a commercial channel.
If this means we get a cult following in NZ and a steady trickle of Maori talent, I can live with it.

I haven't posted nuch on this site (or any for that matter) but I feel compelled to make some comments here.
While I would have preferred say, $20 mil to upgrade Brookie or some massive signing news, this is still good. It gives us regular free-to-air coverage in a large market. I'd suggest it has immediately increased the value of a sponsorship package, meaning increased income for the club. It also exposes us to a large number of potential out of town members (the marketing team should come up with an innovative packake targeting Kiwis).
With a successful team, and good marketing, this could provide a substantial income stream.

Volley I am surprised you think our name is "gay"...it is after all just a name....is Silvertails "gay" as well???
It is simply a name for a group of like minded fans to travel away together and share their mutual enjoyment of the Sea Eagles.
And how it relates to Maori TV I have no idea, perhaps all Kiwi's are considered "gay"

Does that say more about him, or us ????
The "tahs" as we have explained is just to ryme with Manly WarrinGAH.....as I have said before it is just a name, if people dont like it then bad luck, the name has gained enormous momentum over the last 3-4 years and it's there to stay.
Forget the name and come on one of the trips and see for yourseleves.
Cheers

Sounds like the Supportah shirts are going to be closer to pink than maroon. 🙂 I'll wear canary yellow if we are all cheering for Manly.
Not bagging the Supportahs at all Mark but maybe the suggestion of a Sea Eagles Mardi gras float is a good one. We've got the Maoris. We could secure the gay community. Graham Lowe could buy a skinless cat (Dr Evil style) and one by one recruit support from all the minority groups.
ha Nicci that's gold!!!

Lowie on a Mardis Gras float! - I'd like to see that ;D
