Ok lets pretend you are right,why then did the match commisoner not make the giants play in the fax jerseys because he could not, its up to the visitors to change when there is a colour clash.

My god are you that thick? There wouldnt be a need for us to change our kit had hudds worn there home kit as directed by the RFL. And if your still unsure/argumentative about it, check this link out. www.therfl.co.uk/referee/kit_directives

When we played at Cas earlier this season which was also a sky game Cas played in their white kit and we played in the claret kit just to confuse things even more

If you play at home you play in your home kit.

The Cas club asked the Giants if they would be kind enough to wear their principle kit for this game. The Giants kindly agreed and this was approved and confirmed by the RFL. The Giants agreed to wearing the alternate kit to help Cas. Again I am told they did so on the proviso that the kits would be 'reversed' for the Giants home game. The giants MD says he has the paperwork from the RFL confirming the kit option for sunday. so either: - The RFL failed to send the paperwork to Cas [RFL at fault] - RFL did send the correct paperwork to Cas but Cas did not read it [Cas at fault] Either way the Giants acted correctly.

It's caused a reaction bordering on hysterical that's for sure. Personally I thought it was mildly amusing.

Communications error or forgetfulness, there's no real harm done other than sky being inconvenienced a little.

To me it leaps out the words 'p*ss poorly organised' by Cas, Hudd and the RFL ......all 3 of them together. For God's sake amateur teams can do it, women getting ready for a night out can do it....yet we end up with a colour clash!

As simple as it is to those of logic. When each team submits it's 19 man playing squad, 2 days in advance, doesn't this present a good opportunity to settle/submit playing shirts/colours aswell.

No evidence at all that the Giants were disorganised. None. Either the RFL or Cas.

You mean apart from taking their away (sorry, alternate) strip to a home game, when the kit directive issued by the RFL in February clearly has them down to play in their home (sorry, principle) kit for this game?

No need to keep apologising.

The RFL have their directive and then they have scope + a procedure for variations from it. Just as Cas varied in their home game versus the Giants. Fortunately for the Cas vs Giants game the Giants knew what they were doing and brought the correct kit. HTH
