It's a money rackett - that's why mine are from the early 90's and our first season at HJ (2001?).
I will buy one when I really like the design.
I should have bought one from a few years ago - white with blue and yellow V on the shoulder / chest

My favourite design since being at the HJ was the white Vestas one we won the challenge cup in.

The Asics one when Langer played was my favourite, i still have it at home, doesn't fit but i refuse to get rid of it.

I have the Orange Motor Neurone charity top as my cycling top, awful top, great charity and perfect for cycling in.

The 2011 home kit was ace, wouldn't mind something similar next year

I don't know why the club doesn't do alternating home and away shirts each season!

I think most of us either buy one or the other anyway.

It's more likely we would buy both knowing they will last 2 years each. Less cost on designing too, only one per year instead of two.

Hedging their bets. If they do two tops each year their is twice the chance you will like 1 of them and buy it. If they only replaced the home shirt next year and you dont like, you wont buy any. Revenue from alternating shirts only works if they can do shirts that the majority will buy EVERY year

back on the fixtures topic - are we going to get a summer fixture in Catalan again?

I giving an educated guess here and say NO!...

I'm guessing Catalan would request that Warrington and Wigan are to be included as their home games should they qualify in the top 8!
That will be our summer game.

I could be well off the mark here but I think the rfl will take that into consideration and give us both away matches in France in Feb/Mar....

Yes...I reckon Wire and Pies are to play away at Cats twice!!

That's not how it works. A table showing how the games are to be decided was released some time ago - there is no requesting for the final 8 - www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/res ... s/3269575/ So no "requests" during the final 7 games of the season...

Thanks for that, and your right, I don't really have a clue how it works but 3 teams at least in that top 8 are gonna be playing in France for a second time for sure.

The RFL must take that into consideration surely?
We can't be playing them twice in Aug! With a possible Wembley game too!!

I'm guessing they will draw upon last years placings and fix the 12 league with the top teams likely to face them twice playing them early on.

I will be very surprised if we're not playing away in Feb or Mar latest.

The first column are the top eight finishers and their positions. (why 1st is at the bottom is beyond me, but it makes the rest of the table prettier)

Then you have to read across each row to see who that respective team plays at home and away.

Every number represents the finishing position of the team.

So, for example, the top row is:

Team finishing 2nd plays 3rd , 5th and 6th at home and 4th, 7th and 8th Away.

Get it?

If I were TS, I'd head for 2nd position as "on paper" it looks like the 'easier' of the draws after the split.

Yes. You will notice 8 rows of numbers. Each row represents regular league season finishing positions. So, the first row of numbers are your fixtures if you finish 1st in the table. If you finish 1st, you will have home fixtures against teams that finished in positions 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 6th and away to teams who finished 4th, 7th and 8th.

The second row is for the 2nd place team, 3rd for the 3rd place team and so on.

Easy!

I get it know, cheers.
