I'm not questioning the how the kit's are made but the how they look. In Australia the ones that probably out sell the most are the Dragons, Roosters, Souths and Manly because they realise the importance of the clubs colours. They are more likely to change the way jersey then the home

I loved my one too, Still wear it now. Your correct about Trinity having similar in same year too

Kooga been pretty crap for us IMO, last two home shirts very poor. Carlotti on the other hand were fairly good, despite some criticism from some fans.

the white one with the red hoop around it was very nice.

Which one?

Does it REALLY matter what colour strip teams wear?

If the last seasons are anything to go by, colour clashes are not seen as a problem, particularly from the RFL and as an alternative "colour" black or a very dark blue seems to favourite, As for the fact that teams change strips, even though there is no colour clash just goes to prove how irrelevant the whole saga is.

But it does bring in £££££££ (allegedly) and confuses new followers to the game.

I'd love one manufacturer (personally i'd like it to be Canterbury) to spend a fortune and buy out all of the kit deals and do every clubs kit and return to tradition. I think a lot of teams lose identity when they keep swapping designs.

Also the Australian national jersey. I feel that is another reason they have an advantage over us is that the design hasn't changed for years,has all that tradition and every rugby league player in the country bust a gut to wear that iconic strip,and know the importance of it.

I would like the new England shirt to be unique to england r.l and stick with it,if it looks good and good quality people will buy it.

I Ithink the world cup shirt in 2008 was about right as it didn't look like a club shirt and we didn't have the "it looks like a saints shirt etc" arguements

Given that they went under, they might struggle there.

I'd like the England kit to be all white with two red 'V's. It might look like St Helens/George kit, but NZ play in a Hull a kit.

Carlotti one




this one

Yeah agree, think that's the best SL shirt we've had.

This one's my favourite home shirt of the last 10 years though:



Another Carlotti one.

there's a theme emerging here !


On the Dragons Nike ones, they have been too high in price partially because of the exchange rate. If they are going back to ISC it will be interesting to see how much they cost and if they are more widely available that the Nike stuff.

I have two training shirts and they are good quality but bog standard designs.

In fact Manchester United, Aston Villa and Arsenal have the same design shirt as one of mine, the crest being the only differential.

Any chance of either of the Grand finalists taking the lead from the round ball game and debuting next seasons kits in their last match of this season?

Although I can see your point but they will never go for it as they wont make any money.

Yes

The Kangaroos could play England wearing Ronald McDonald clown costumes and still beat England

I could wake up at 3 in the morning after 20 pints and be funnier than You

Given the strength of the average urine-weak pommie pint you would still be sober too

Tut Tut bazza. Your Crim pi55 is a whole 1.5% weaker than UK beer (on average) yet your yoof still behave worse than a warrington slapper on snakebite after a mere 3 pints......
Australian Beer isn't even beer......it's lager......poncy euro lager at that.
It's like me claiming that Tui is a quality beer...........it's pi55........London Pride makes most Souther Hemisphere beer look like tap water FFS......and I should know...I have been here for nearly a year and I've only been pi55ed once....and that was on Nelson mandela!

The reason Barry knows nothing about Aussie beer is because he only drinks Tia Maria. And because he's never been to Australia.

ahahahaaaaaa

Tui is fkn revolting!!


The last time Barry McKenzie sampled a flat luke warm pint of your typical pish weak pommie bitter I think it was around 4.0%.... if that.

It wouldn't be so bad if it weighed in around 8% or something... at least it would get you blind quicker so you didnt have to drink so much of it.

A truly revolting experience I can tell you.

Thank god for the crisp refreahing taste of an ice cold stubbie of VB down the Walkabout I say....even now its no longer 4.9% it's still a top drop.

The stuff back home on tap in a nice schoonie is better though

Cheers

It depends what you drink.
Old Speckled Hen is around 5.2%
I have also drank Old Crafty Hen which is around 6.5%
There are some truely great 'ales' out there if you are willing to try stuff other than the norm.

I love the names of some of these British beers... but thats as far as it goes I'm afraid!
