Shirt will be a similar design but all =#FF0000red with =#000000black blades across, released in Janaury

I'd be happy with that....!!!!

that doesn't sound so bad.

however, i'm disapointed that we're not keeping the blue shirt

Red and black sounds good, I just hope it's better than the home shirt so we have one decent shirt next year. Does anyone know when photos will be released?

Should be out end of Decmember i would have thought, by the way the home shirt was edited a little due to numbering problems with RFL, hence why the multi coloured blades are more in a V shape and then coloured sleeves are further round the front, which is why the pic with l'estrange in looks much better than the one with langley in, the shirt looks good here, [urlhttp://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/sport/sportbulls/4788496.L___Estrange_on_pole_in_hookers_race/[/url

Which looking at the posts underneath the L'Estrange article why are Basil and Clogger on gardening leave??

Cheers for that Ryan, it does look better in the last couple of pics but still not convinced. I will buy the top as I always do to help the club but will probably wait and get the away first if it's better.

Some people on here can't see straight the new shirt that Brett is wearing is the same as the one Jamie had on shot from a different angle and the new away shirt is due at the end of January

The shirt had to be alterred, as the RFL required it, something to do with numbering and the way its put on the back of the shirts, the RAB on the sleeves and blades have moved around and blades are more of a V

It's just the title of the article. It's cracked me up



I wasn't aware we were doing our pre-season in Amsterdam

hmm, gardeners leave is usually a prelude to being made redundant, so maybe there was something in the story about the assistants going a few months back.

afaik gardeners leave means you are out of a job, just don't need to work your notice ( but still get paid for it ).

Not quite.

It means you're about to be out of a job and getting paid to sit at home. But if the company need you, they can still call you back until the leave period is over.

You are right though in that it means you're already out of a job. It's just a situation that happens when the company make you redundant and don't necessarily need you to work the notice that they legally have to give you.

Gardening leave is usually when you are leaving a company or have been asked to leave a company, not because of redundancy as that implies the job you had is no longer available

The numerous people who have just been on gardening leave from the company I work for (for now) after being made redundant will probably disagree.

It may well apply to people leaving of their own accord or being asked to leave too, but it most certainly does apply to redundancy.

Any pictures of this new top?

i realise there has been a topic on this already, but that was ages ago and i cant find it to resurrect it....does anyone know if there is going to be a new away kit this season? i am contemplating buying a home shirt, but would rather get a new away shirt if there is a new one.

buying both isnt an option unfortunately...and as a big boned bloke, darker colours are much more flattering

Yeah there is. It will be unveiled at the launch event on the 23rd, not going to it myself, but looking forward to seeing the shirt.

thats great, cheers mate......darker nylon always looks better stretched across a worryingly large middle age spread that white.

decision made......away shirt all the way

I'm afraid it's a pink one this year

Best hope i dont bump into Gok Wan at Odsal then!!

you do realise the shirt is bright red mate

Not appreciably, that I'd noticed

i can live with that...i have a phobia of predominantly white tops, so as long as its not white then its all good.
