Don't the Raiders wear Green?

Curious...
The Canberra Raiders usually wear lime green jerseys, white shorts and lime green socks. So why did they wear the above kit against the Gold Coast Titans? Surely the overwhelming presence of royal blue created more of a kit clash against the blue socks and shirts worn by the Titans.

Having said that, it is a very snappy away kit for the Raiders, but really they only have one occasion to wear it - when they play the Rabbitohs in Sydney. Otherwise, please leave it at home.

While I was looking for pictures of last night's game; I came across this particular item on the Raiders website.

I sincerely hope that Raiders fan vote for the option A, the plainer look is much better on the rugby league field - the multiple lines in option B make it look way too busy. What's your choice?

2009 Storm Jersey

This might seem like a minor issue, but I take major offence at the 2009 Melbourne Storm jerseys this year made by KooGa.

THEY'VE CHANGED THE "UNIQUE" PLAYER NUMBERS.
Here's the pictures:

home jersey - white numbers with gold bevel and purple lightning bolt insignia
2009 jersey - PLAIN white numbers! grrrr!

away jersey - purple numbers with white bevel and white lightning bolt insignia
2009 jersey - PLAIN purple numbers!! grrrr x 2!

Can this be fixed PLEASE! I know it sounds trivial, but the home numbers especially have been like that (with the gold bevel) since 1998.

Grapple Tackles!

PROOF!!

The Melbourne Storm have been employing the infamous grapple tackle technique from as way back as 2002.
This extraordinary photographic evidence comes from Round 21 in 2002 when the Brisbane Broncos Aquanauts defeated Melbourne 48-20...
