Amateurish, but that's RL for you - amateurs running a professional game. If only all the problems caused by inept management and administration in RL were so minor... I'd settle for kit confusion every week if that was as bad as it got!

This.

I could drive from Wigan to Huddersfield in less than an hour, why couldn't someone from the Huddersfield staff drive from Halifax back to Huddersfield pick up their home kit and still be back for kick off. They must have realised the problem well before kick off.
Ok it may have been a Cas error but to solve the problem a 16 mile round trip could have solved the problem in less than an hour.
One of the biggest sponsers in Rugby League, Probiz, must be seething.

Why? If both teams had agreed to this before the game then there shouldn't have been a mix up and both sides would have been able to promote their way kit for some revenue.

It's not like Wigan have ever played in their away or any other kit at home is it?

And what happens when both teams are playing in a neutral ground? You seem to have missed this from the rule change.

Why not just do what has worked for many years?

What a lot of noise about nothing.

at the start of july we will be top of the league full stop.personally this year if given a choice of winning at o/t or winning the cup i would take the cup.

Or, just follow the RFL directive at all games, no 'requesting' to wear your alternate kit, why did Hudds want to change to white anyway when their home kit is claret, if they had just worn the kit instructed by the RFL none of this would have happened. As for taking both kits to away games, who, and when, would decide which kit is to be used ?, what time would the decision be made ?, 1 hour before ko, 2 maybe, by the ref (if he's arrived in time), by an RFL official (who would just follow the directive anyway), would this apply to the Challenge Cup Final ?, plus it would mean carrying 4 kits to all games, 1 home plus 1 spare home kit (blood bins, rips etc), 1 away plus 1 away spare. Stick to the RFL directive and its simple.

pfft, what do you know??

It wasnt a neutral ground, so to speak. It was Huddersfield's home league game played at an alternate venue due to the fact their regular stadium was unavailable.

These people, trying to make life more difficult !!!!

This game should have either
A be abandoned
B be played when Castleford got someone to get the tops to Halifax
Had it have been a football game it would not have been played

it just wouldn't have happened in football,
unfortunately shows us up a little bit,
