The Newcastle Knights have launched a promotion giving fans of the NRL team the opportunity to get their Twitter handle on the back of their favourite players.

The #GotYourBack promotion is sponsored by betting agency Sportsbet and will see 17 fans have their Twitter handles printed on the Knights jersey for the upcoming Round 11 match against the New Zealand Warriors.

“It will provide a great opportunity for the Club and the players to interact with Members and supporters on our social platforms,” said Matt Gidley CEO of the Newcastle Knights.

“We are pleased to be involved in such a unique competition with our partner Sportsbet.”

real shame 23 May 13

ahh, the normalisation of gambling marches on.

Quite amazing how the MD of Sportingbet was just quoted in the news this morning about how Tom Waterhouse is really bad and the in-program odds increase ‘makes him sick’.

Let people do what they want but IMHO we should leave gambling and booze out of the promotion of sport and leave it reasonably clean for the next generation. It seems to me that gambling and booze are the biggest problems for the players and they aren’t far of being kids really.
