Quote: Wellsy13 "Not just a typical rugby jersey though, is it? It's a player quality shirt. And if you expect a cheap knocked up shirt from China to be a similar quality you'll be sadly disappointed. Cheap gear isn't good, and good gear isn't cheap.
It's not just the material that is better, it's the manufacture. It's meant to take the strain of a rugby match, unlike the other ones. I doubt a dodo-feathered mermaid-scaled shirt would do that.
Face it, if the other usual quality shirt is valued at £43, and this one is twice as good quality, then they are going to charge around twice as much. That's how businesses make money!'"
Thats just the point
'cheap' gear from china isn't CHEAP for the likes of you and I to buy
How much do you think the 'player issue shirts' cost to make?
£10? £20? at the most?? I would bet its a lot less.
Then they knock them out to you for £80?
And thats not a rip off??
And seeing as the likes of you and I aren't planning to scrum down against St Helens in the forseeable future why bother buying one?
