Shirtgate was not funny but rather it was a farce. However it was not a farce for the reason that Castleford ended up wearing Halifax shirts. Full marks to the Cas supporters for seeing the humour in that and starting a chant for Halifax! All the talk about principal and secondary kits misses a very basic point and that is that neither Huddersfield nor Castleford need a secondary kit at all. Both of them could play all of their matches this season with just one set of kit. It is the existence of an unrequired secondary kit that is the farce. I notice that Huddersfield were down to use their secondary kit again at Wakefield this last Sunday. Why? In the earlier match between Castleford and Huddersfield earlier in the season, at Castleford, Castleford wore their so called secondary kit. Totally unnecessary.
The farce with secondary kits is that they exist purely for financial purposes and basically exploit the loyalty of supporters. I do not find anything funny in that.

Correct! They 'updated' the match thing descriptions thingy overnight after the game without comment.

You'd be surprises how much the RFL change stuff on website around rulings when problems occur. Just like the SL admin rule that was never an announced change in rules they just changed it on website not long prior Cru's administration... It's pathetic really!

I am happy to stay with the topic. Lil vasty wants to discuss me. If you have a probem with him going off topic then you PM Lil Vasty. HTH

However the correct directive was sent to the clubs, including Cas, in Mid May. Why Cas did not read it / ignored it has yet to be explained.

Agreed.

To avoid the the continued lovers tiff between wakey and giants poster i will lock this. We can re open it in 2012 when the rfl make some findings.
