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!

Nice one Brian .







The mix up saved Sky red a face because , did they not say they had technical problems and they were not ready to broadcast at the 17:45 kick off time .

So why were cas wearing their alternate kit at home versus the giants in round in Feb? (And other clubs have done it inrecent years)

- Because the rules are not as simplistic as you need them to be.

The Giants applied to wear the white kit and the RFL confirmed it. So either the rfl failed to tell cas or casfailed to read the paperwork. Take it up with them if you have a problem.

It is odd that Cas wore their away kit when at Home to Hudds but it is fair to say if every team wore their home kit when at home then the away team wears their kit which clashes the least with it then their would be no problem.

Simple rule changes from next season.

1. home team always wears home strip

2. Away team always brings both kits

Simple

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,

It has happened in football and not too long ago as well, however don't think they ever made the mistake for a televised game.

yes
