Sorry HJ's

Shayno

So maybe for next season the NBL needs to talk with HJs about other deals.

Total points scored by home state team
Double double for a home state player

Promote the positive stats.

Think ive collected 3 times this season already.

A free burger is a free burger.

Anyways NBA usually do the free food if u score over 105 i think it is now so quit ya jibber jabbing

The Breakers had Carls Jnr on board as a major sponsor to until the League announced Hungry Jacks as their main sponsor and they had to terminate the deal.

It is pretty fucking annoying to hear it every game

He used to be into spring rolls so I guess this shows what sponsorship can do for a company.

I like it when heal says "I know where we're stopping off on the way to the airport tonight"

Homicide understands cheeseburgers. Makes a pleasant change to his attempts to impersonate an actual basketball commentator.

To be honest it's a brilliant marketing scheme, is something similar done elsewhere. Scoring a certain number of points to get a burger etc has been around for a long time. And even though these guys are professionals it would play some mind games with thousands yelling it out, or hundreds in the case of Brisbane, Cairns and Illawarra.

Its not a unique competition. Muzz Buzz used to have a sponsorship with Perth and they gave away coffee vouchers when Perth scored over 80(?) Points i think it was.

Townsville I believe had something similar with McDonalds. Its a fine novelty and creates a bit of interest to the game, just dont really want to hear the commentators or announcers go on and on about it like its bigger than the game itself.

Yeah, I do find it strange that it's never mentioned at Perth games. There was a rumour last year that it conflicted with the Healthway sponsorship, but this year there should be no such issues. Perth themselves do have a rule against sponsorship by fast food companies, but if the league's signed a deal you'd think they're stuck with it.

Eh, I like it. Agree with the oft used commentator comment that its the best promotion in sports.

Also, other potential sponsors watching the telecast would surely be encouraged by that extra level of exposure that's being given, and perhaps be more motivated to jump on board as well, possibly including also trying to think up ways of incorporating their brand into the package that the league themselves might not have even though of.
Harmless fun that helps the league, so I'm cool with it.

Im with the OP. The consistent mentioning of it throughout the game is annoying, just as much as the court announcer yelling it which can be heard on the broadcast.

Just mention it a couple of times tops for sponsorship obligations. HJs has great exposure in many other areas (logo on court, led signage) they dont really need to be talked about at every free throw opportunity from the visiting team, unless it really is part of their sponsorhip conditions.

I'd rather them promote a sponsor that helps push the league to a better financial position than look at the shooters FT% and try to predict the result. After Dwayne Russell or whoever it is gushes prematurely at the launching of any three point shot, FTs are an opportunity for something different at least.

It's not like there is much else occurring on the court during free throws that needs to be commentated about.
OP is probably the owner of a McDonalds store.

So you don't like people crapping on about cheeseburgers, so you make a whole new topic to discuss it? Yup, makes sense...

I don't mind commentators talking about it during the FTs, like above, can't analyse 100% of the game 100% of the time... I'd suggest a chill pill with your next burger...

"Who wants Cheeseburgers?"

It highlights how the commentators are struggling for discussion points when they keep latching onto this promotion as a topic whenever a player gets to the free throw line. Unfortunately the selection criteria for commentating NBL is at rock bottom, even the ex-players who should know the game resort to this. They just aren't intelligent enough. We are getting no analysis just pointless talking heads.

Considering they are a major sponsor they are probably required to talk about it. Put it on mute if you don't like it.
