Both kits were white, would have been almost identical.. the only other option at short notice was raiding the Halifax club shop.

Ain't it only about 8 mile from the shay to hudds? Could've nipped back!

Giants were always going to playing in white at this game. It was advertised as such during the week. Therefore, it will have had rfl sanction.

Seems like poor communication down the line somewhere as Fad should have been in there home kit.

Just because the giants were at home doesn't mean they should be in their home kit. All clubs play a certain amount of home games in their away kits. I might be wrong, but I think it is written into the contract with the shirt producers.

When on sky we usually wear our away kit. Wouldn't be at all suprised to find out it being Castlefords fault over the shirt fiasco.

Sherbert dip no we are not a top club we just sit 2nd in the league and narrowly missed out on the grand final last season!!!! Not many other teams would want to swap places with us would they???

The RFL Kit Directive says Huddersfield - PRINCIPAL kit, i.e. home kit.

Well, on the RFL site the kit directive is that Hudds wear their home kit this weekend so unless there has been a subsequent directive, it was Hudds who were at fault.

if thats right then we're in for a rollocking!!!

Says on Giants site that The Giants will be wearing their all white alternative kit.

So i think cas or the RFL are to blame NOT THE GIANTS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(its says it under the 19 man squad )

Its not the Giants fault if it was cleared with the RFL, if the Giants just decided to wear that kit against the RFL's directive then they are to blame. As stated earlier the only thing on RFL website states Giants in home kit and Cas in away.

Apologies if i've offended then, if as you say it had been cleared with the RFL, seems the RFL are at fault, but why would the Giants need/want to wear their white kit? ANy specific reason?

As has been stated multiple times the RFL's directive states giants in home, so surely it must have clicked to the to let Cas know if you boys had it approved by them.

We always seem to play in our white kit when we are on sky for some reason, Think its to do with HD so i was told - dont know if this is right????

I've just read this, but it DOES NOT say that it was sanctioned by the RFL, and Cas's website has no such mention of them wearing their home kit, nor should it. Why should the giants be able to decide what kit they wear and when?

At the end of the day, regardless of whose fault it was, I would expect that any professional sports team would carry two kits with them - just in case.

Can't blame this on poor Barry, though!!

Yep, the thread on the wire board about it explains how amateur teams still do to make sure nothing happens, so why don't professionals?

As has been mentioned before, all teams wear their alternative kits at home at some stage so there will obviously be protocols in place for when they do. As this has never happened to us before, there's no evidence to suggest that the giants haven't followed this protocol on this occasion.

Be interesting to see what comes out of the rfl though.
