the second fattest halfback on record (after owen craigie)

Be a good way to keep makiele out of the team

I think Adam Doyle would politely point out that being the second fattest behind Owen Craigie doesn’t necessarily mean he was anywhere near the Buddha-like portliness of Owen Criagie.

Having said that, at least Craigie could play a bit, even if it was only for 10 minutes a game.

To be honest I’m not entirely sure that would look that great on the shirt.

It would be far from the worst one we’ve had, mind…

Just a bit of trivia

The Rainbow TV programme theme song was sung by Hugh Fraser, who played Captain Hastings (Poirot) and the Duke of Wellington (Sharpe) on the telly box.

I liked the Omega shirt, that was made out of a comfortable fabric to wear. Sadly, they've been made out of the shiny, horrible soccer shirt stuff, since.

A white kit with a red vee, that way if we are still poop we can at least pretend we're watching Saints get beat.

I'd personally like to commit to yellow first and blue second for the shirt, with blue shorts and socks.

I think the Hull KR away kit from this season is a perfect example of it working.

Imagine that kit but with our 2015 away shirt instead. I think it would be a decent look.

What is this "yellow" of which you speak?

It’s interesting that the actual colour of Primrose flowers isn’t really reflected on the shirt designs. Was it the 1995 centenary shirt that got the closest?

I could with that for Primrose eW something softer in tone than some acid yellows or warmer ones tending towards amber. Although has often been said previously, a lot depends on how much and how it used.

The reason I did call it primrose is mainly due to the fact that we never actually use primrose and if we did, it would look awful.

Not quite sure it's a "fact"

It's all about opinions for sure and mine would be to embrace the Primrose, it's how we are universally known by firstly finding and agreeing on the right/best one as there is quite a range in nature and paint pots then sticking with it as a signature. colour.

Unless we are rebranding like Castleford's disappointing (IMO) recent use of dayglo Orange, I'd then weave that Primrose with Blue and or Blue and White to the best effect in pattern and quantity of each component, you know like a design process.

I would have thought we'd be hearing whispers about the design of the new kit by now. Unfortunately (for me anyway) I don't think it will be a radical shift away from the mostly blue design. I think we really could have done with something that psychologically for the players would represent a completely different feel to 2023. Fresh start and all that. I guess we'll see.

That's the closest to primrose that seems to be available. It seems there is after all a less ominous Hoover logo in use, it's just that we chose the big red 1950's one.

Obviously they are soccer shirts and were thrown together in 2 minutes, but you get the idea. I'll have a longer play with it tomorrow and see if I can get a design that looks okay and satisfies most of the preferences on here.

Just end the primrose/yellow debate by wearing red and green (our most popular colours based on how fast the retro released last season sold out), or red and black (our original colours) as our home kits.

The away kits in those colours have all been miles better than any home kit we've ever had.

That would be some shift from tradition… that’s a shift of Leigh proportions.

Andy Gregory always looked to be playing with a plate full of sorsigs.

And we would have to change the seats in the stadium and repaint it. The latter would not be a bad thing.

Plastic isn't cotton I'd cut the club some slack on the seats shows a bit of intent on what must be standard colours. Put the special mould/painting budget into the team to hopefully put more bums on them

Yes I was pointing out the implications of the colour change from PnB as suggested by my fellow poster.

It's the metal work of the stadium that needs a lick of paint.

ha ha I thought you were angling for Primrose seats as opposed to yellow

I’ve always had a bit of OCD about the bare concrete breeze blocks in the concourse. I feel like doing a whip round and getting some whitewash and painting it myself. Do they still have that Changing Rooms show on TV? Maybe someone could give them a call, citing a bad 2022 season as a reason for a bit of sympathy and some brightening up of the place.

I raised that point myself when the stadium opened, the answer to me was it would all be covered by sponsors.
Something didn’t go the plan.
