Before we let you off the hook, other than just the hear say of 'he said...she said' feel free to provide the indusputable evidence clearing the Giants!

From what it says in today’s League Express it seems the balls up is at the RFL with both teams told they are wearing alternate kits. I'm sure the truth will come out in the enquiry. Huddersfield have given one side of the story. Interesting that nothing has come from Cas. Considering Dickie Wright releases statements for anything trivial I'm surprised he has gone quiet on an important thing like this.

I was under the impression that the away team was required to bring an alternative kit? This directive is to protect for balls ups like this. Who ever is to blame it's quite clear that Cas will take some of the blame for not turning up with an alternate kit.

I am not on a hook. i am happy to wait for official statements. In the meantime. take a look here and tell me if Cas are wearing their 'home / principal kit' and are the Giants wearing their 'away/alternate kit'? : www.superleague.co.uk/video/player.php?id=21204

You are correct.

Isn't the issue all about declaring or communicating what kits would/should have been worn to yesterdays game? As I mentioned in an above post, to me it would be a good opportuinity to declare this when the 19 man team is announced. In fact it would even give supporters the nod about which kit to wear at the game.

I think many on here have Black and Amber glasses on and have been quick to jump to conclusions. I'm happy to wait for the results of the enquiry. The only indisputable fact is that the away team must bring an alternative kit, which clearly hasn't happened in this case.

Isn't the whole issue (by who ever) about common sense and communication by all involved ??

So it appears, intresting to see how many are on here going to admit they got it wrong?

This is the spreadsheet clubs received 2/3 weeks ago. Assuming Cas received it someone at the club has cocked up + someone failed to take 2 kits to the shay.

these things happen. Cas should not be pilloried for it...but nor should the Giants!

The RFL have changed the spreadsheet over night to suit there call so I don't see how any cas fans on here need to admit they were wrong.

they have changed the spreadsheet to match the one received by clubs in mid May. the cas fans are not 'wrong'. Someone at Cas cocked up.

If you look in the operation rules, rule B 1.27 states:

"Notwithstanding the provisions of B1.24, where the Colours of the visiting Club clash with that
of the home Club (and the Match Commissioner shall be the final arbiter of this), the visiting
Club must change into such alternative strip or parts of strip as the Match Commissioner may
direct. To ensure that this Rule can be complied with the visiting Club must bring two different
sets of strip to the Match."

HTH

Because several Cas fans on here and on VT have ripped in Huddersfield before knowing the full facts. Lynch mob mentality at it's worst. Just admit they got it wrong!

Are people being serious about the RFL changing the spreadsheet??? I'm not doubting that they would, cos we've all seen the farce of a Challenge cup draw a few years ago etc.

But seriously have they changed it??

Yes. Several fans including myself posted the link to it last night as a reference. It stated hudds were to play in principle and cas in alternative. Looked at it today and they have changed it to hudds/alternative and cas/principle.

I'll take your word for it sir!! But what a bunch of bent B'stds. The RFL are an absolute disgrace!

I'm off on one now!!!

......and they think that it's old stadiums that are keeping people away from games. Well they need to take a look at their ethics and ask why former followers have given up on the game. Grrrr!!!

I'm ok now rant over!!

I can confirm that the RFL spreadsheet had Hudds in home and Cas in away strip last night after the game had finished. I can also confirm the the RFL have since changed this to Hudds away kit, Cas home kit today. This is what we are dealing with, the governing body running our sport. What a set of juankers!

Edit- And thanks to Firefox saving my browsing history I still have the old file just to prove I didn't read it wrong yesterday.

And if you want to get at the truth rather than bask in conspiracy theory ask your club whether they received the kit directive sent out by the operations department in mid May. And there you will see that the information that has now been posted is correct: Giants alternate and Tigers principal.

Unless Cas have dodgy internet connections then the club got the directive and someone failed to read it and THEN your kit people failed to take 2 kits to games as required. The RFL cock up was a failure to update their own systems.

And if you owned your ground you wouldn't have been told to vacate by your football masters. Wouldn't have been a mix up then, but hey ho shiny stadiums and all. Doesn't matter if you own them maybe that should come up in the sl licenses own your ground get a bonus point.

Do you have evidence that Castleford received and acknowledged that email? And that the RFL checked to ensure the information had got through?

Thought not.

I don't think this is a sport any more. In fact it's reminding me a lot of WWE these days. I wonder who's booked to win our game down t'lane next week...

GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!

I assume your post is a send up - you can't really be that dumb?

First :At the moment the galpharm is basically 60% owned by davy and 40% owned by the council. In time davy will sell 40% to Town. Even when that happens the enduring contract created when the stadium was built will protect all 3 parties. The contract runs for over100 years



Second:the new playing surface includes 'artificial grass' plus real grass grown from seeds. These seeds need maximum sunlight to grow best and that occurs in.....June and July so sadly your childlike theory is nonsense.

Third: If the game was played at the Galpharm the Giants would still have requested the alternate kit - this being part of an agreement to help out Cas back in February! the difference being that if Cas had turned up at the galpharm with the wrong kit they could not have borrowed Giants shirts for the game.

other than those glaring inaccuracies your post is fine.

You are getting desperate. Ask Cas if they got the directive in mid may. The Giants CEO has spelt it out in detail. if Thewlis is wrong why doesn't Wright put the Cas case. his silence is deafening.


And if they got no emails why did Cas fail to take 2 kits as the rules require.
