That's Australia for you, everything is a rip off.

Your comparing that back to ££ though when the exchange rate is terrible and the cost of living over there is going up. Ive been over a few times now and have certainly noticed the difference every time, last year the cost of a coffee was about $5 (about £3) and a eggs benedict $14 (about £9). And a box of 80 Yorkshire Tea bags? Something like $13 i think they were!!


Anyway, NRL clubs tend not to change there shirt EVERY season too, they stick with the same one for 2/3 years. so while the SL shirt you bought two years ago looks out dated, the NRL one still looks up to date because the players are still wearing it.

I've just returned from living there fr a few years, even if the exchange rate was at 2.5 to 1 the Aussies still get ripped off for somethings. I saw bananas at $15 a kilo and housing is beyond the pale! NRL shirts are very expensive in Australia even at 2.5 to 1 they would be cheaper to buy in batley rather than Sydney.

not so, NRL clubs bring out a new shirt every year. Sometimes it is just sponsor changes but often it is tweaks of the design.

Big fan of that. Hopefully there will be a cotton version (unlikely, I know).

Also liking all the NZW kits and Wigan away kit. Usually when teams go for a different colour away strip they make a hash of it but that's decent. I think it'd look good if the top and bottom were blue, for a more traditinal angle.

Still no sign of the Salford kit, as usual ...
