I saw this on facebook and just cringed, it's dreadful.

Personally, i bet that that's happened in every sport at least once, i'm not embarrassed, it's just a small hiccup, people are human mistakes happen.

Surely any pro-sport would need to define up front what kit they were wearing for the game so the ref could see if there was likely to be a clash. Not exactly rocket science.

im pretty sure this happened in the championship a few years back i think it was a lost kit and they wore the home teams away kit might of been a reading game not entirely sure

Huddersfield informed the RFL they would be playing in their white strip and this was SANCTIONED by the RFL.

Cas should have come with their home kit but brought the wrong one. It was either CAS or the RFL who made the mistake. That is why CAS were made to wear the Halifax kit.


The match commissioner has been interviewed by Sky & he said that it was down that Castleford would play in there home jersey's & Hudders would be playing in there alternate jersey's... Sadly Cas didn't pack the right kit & didn't bring a spare! Hence why they are in Halifax's!



END OF STORY.

.

So if you're the home team you don't have to wear your home kit anymore?

The RFL issue a kit directive at the start of every year telling each team what kit they have to wear for each match. Huddersfield were down to wear their home shirts as the home side and Castleford were down to wear their away shirt.
I can't understand why the RFL would sanction a change for no apparent reason.

Apparantly. So no matter what the RFL decide, you can write to them and say....

Dear muppets,

We don't want to wear out home kit this week, we fancy playing in our away one, even though we're at home. So, you tell Cas, or not. But because we've let you know, it is no longer our problem.

Shuddersfield GiantEagles RLFC.

Maybe they could write to the RFL for some more fans too...

He must have been interviewed twice then because that's not what he said on the interview I watched!

Shhh! Only happens in RL because we're pathetic and inferior and we have massive chips on our shoulders about it.

Latics had to wear West Broms YELLOW socks with an all blue kit once as they packed the wrong socks and IIRC got fined. They also once wore their away kit at home against Cambridge City in the FA Cup after the game was moved.

Also, dnt forget that we wore blue at home against UTC in 2005 as they only had 1 kit.

thats fair. but Hudds and Cas both have two strips

rubbish! the RFL spokesman said nowt to that effect!
