It was.

too bad these one off games have really great shirts that are nicer than the league ones.

Didn't someone 'propose' this shirt on here 18 months/a couple of years back based on a Lee Cooper shopping spree at Matalan and the red/black away shirt?

Just ordered mine, out of stock of some sizes already. Get your skates on!

Medium, large and XL have gone.

work away for 2 days and they release a new shirt then sell out before I can order one! should have taken pre-orders and potentially made more money

I just ordered mine a few minutes ago. They were sold out of S, M and L and others this morning but seem to have added stock.

I would keep checking back if you want one.

I ordered mine within 5 mins of the announcement on the app, hoping to get #1

They are based on the 1950 RL Cup Final shirt, which was the occasion of our first win at Wembley. Limited edition of 500. It was also announced today that the Man of the Match will receive The Harry Bath Medal. Harry was the skipper of the 1950 side and was strongly associated with both Clubs. Nice move by the Club.

Harry Bath was responsible after returning from Warrington to oz of introducing ball playing from a forward.
Within just a few years the total domination of international rugby league from GB had come to an end.

Ordered, got a 2XL but don't mind wearing it baggy.

Love it.

With all due respect, people are prepared to pay £45 for a shirt you're wearing in a friendly?

A game you're only playing in because (as i understand it) Castleford and Huddersfield turned down the invitation?

Against an average (in the NRL) team?

Fair doos!

No offense, but that comes across as a small club mentality.

Lets put it this way, if Dr Marwan was given the opportunity to take part, he'd have snatched it with both hands and wrestled it to the floor.

I know its been discussed previously, but in terms of it being a friendly? maybe but its a chance to knock off a bunch of australians* from the very insular up their own NRL.

If we beat them, there's a very good chance that its going to malign the dragons as their media wont' let them forget that they lost to a "super league" team. Plus it'll raise our stock greatly in australia.

*This point, this is what has been lost from the full aussie tours that used to be done, the game we played against the midweek aussie team in 94, THAT is the game that hooked me, and the game that instilled in me the importance of beating aussie teams. younger kids now dont' get the same exposure in the SL era into understanding the competitive nature of the ockers and how much of a challenge it is, to knock em down a peg or two.
