This was great.. funny story.. Quayle, Athurson and co. were talking up to Turner, for the first promo, ‘What You Get is What You See’, saying how handsome, fit and muscular rugby league players were… They made the first part of this commercial, which was hidden in secrecy, in England. The two current Australian players that were available and playing in England, at the time were Gavin Miller and Cliffy Lyons. Who where majestic figures on the field, but no so ‘appealing’ off it. Let’s say when Turner first saw the two, believing they were the best available, she apparently said to someone, this is the best they got?How rugby league scored Tina Turner for its promo

Her passing comes less than a week after Tina: The Musical opened in Sydney, which I’m going to this weekend and mainly because of her connection to RL, but she also had an Aussie connection via Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome. ‘What’s Love Got To Do With It’ a great song too. RIP the Queen of Rock n’ Roll.
