More to choose from, ok.

But when you don't know who, at a glance, the teams are playing, it's a joke.

Most NRL teams have really distinctive colours. Done in hoops (Souths), Vs (Saints, Dogs) or one colour (Canberra, Illawarra)...they'd look magnificent. Clean lines, bold colours.

Funny how Titans started with a really nice colour combo, and now they've moved to a darker blue and it looks horrible.

And take a peep at Parra's away jersey next year - LOL.

For me, it's not about buying this or that jersey. I like teams having a recognisable identity .

Canberra in the lime green machine jersey, with no trills/Vs of white & blue (maybe the shoulder cuff) is one of the greatest jerseys in the game.

Super League buggered all the jerseys, but slowly, teams are coming back to their senses.

And they had to. Retro Classics jerseys were outselling some clubs season jersey. And the current sponsors were miffed that Wormalds and Smiths Crisps and Penfolds were getting a plug...but people wanted the classic designed jersey (and warmer, and with a colour).

so glad the sharks have gone back to the hoops design the winfield blues packet jersey
was a deadset joke

My dream is CLEANSKIN jerseys...maybe one day if the money comes in, cool.

This is what Uncle Rupert wanted with Super League back in 1997, most of the clubs obeyed Rupert's mantra all except of course the club that masterminded the whole Super League idea!.

I reckon they need a distinctive jersey - one only. I believe sales will go up if distinctive - only the hardcore must have everything fans will buy variations. I walk round in my wests victa jumper and people comment all the time - they know exactly what it is even though it is 25+ years old. IMO

Played well above his weight and gave it everything while on the field, a former Group 11 boy done good, you can now grow old disgracefully Josh, you've given it you're best, enjoy your retirement.

He was a hard nut allright. He always gave 110%

I was sad to see him leave the Raiders as he deserved to finish his career a one club man

Guys , u all might not believe me but i know Josh Miller very well.... We used to play squash together , Josh me and Kevin his father in Forbes in the 90s.... I lived in Forbes for 20 years and i grew up with Josh.... He's Dad owns Millers Real Estate in Forbes and i remember the 1st day he played for the Forbes Magpies and i knew what he was like.... He never cared for the soft tackal , he just wanted to knock u out.... He is a great guy and it is sad to see him retire so young.... But i know he will go back to Forbes and do some pig shooting and dirt bike riding now that he has the spare time....

I work with a bloke who went to Red Bend with Josh and he always rated him highly, he'd often go to games just watch him play even though his own team was playing elsewhere.

king megator · Nov 8, 2012

Yeah , Kevin Miller is Joshs dad.... Why does this surprise you....

king megator · Nov 8, 2012

Yeah mate , old Red Bend is where we all used to play footy and cricket.... Josh went to Red Bend Collage and i went to Forbes High School.... Every Saturday most of the cricket matches were played at Red Bend and i remember clean bowling a guy you all might heard of [ PAT GIBSON ].... He played 1st grade for the Sharks in the 90s.... Anyone that follows the Sharkies should remember him....
