Doesn’t look good does it, hopefully it just appears to be a mess rather than actually being one though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New York was announced as the intended round 1 host city a couple of months back, might well have changed of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very possibly it is a mess and that explains why their New York team pulled out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hazards: Minimum temperatures of minus 21 to 27 degrees Celsius with wind chill values between minus 28 to minus 33. When: Tonight through Wednesday morning. Discussion: Bitterly cold arctic air settles over the region once again. Extreme cold puts everyone at risk. Risks are greater for young children, older adults, people with chronic illnesses, people working or exercising outdoors, and those without proper shelter. Dress warmly. Dress in layers that you can remove if you get too warm. The outer layer should be wind resistant. global warming ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

langpark Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 The sudden change of shirt supplier seems like another 'gaffe' in this comedy of errors, as they announced Macron just six months ago. I wonder why that has now changed? My guess is, Macron got out when certain deadlines/assurances were not met. https://www.macron.com/eu/news/macron-is-the-technical-sponsor-of-the-north-american-rugby-league 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RP London Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 be careful with VX3.. my sons Rugby Union club use them, they've not been good.. sizing has been weird, we had some samples and ordered off the back of those and the shorts were all over the place came much bigger but also (especially the kids sizing) really really wide legs, made them look like skirts. Shirts werent as bad but socks were big too.. the adults team bought loads of the 7-11 socks as spares off parents who were mightily annoyed (understatement).. hoodies etc which are meant to be off the shelf are often on long lead times.. (apparently the club was under the impression they were UK made and therefore on a better turnaround... they are not.. they were also expecting larger stock holdings the two put together are causing real issues and its a bad look for the club and lots of lost revenue) they really struggled to set the website properly for kits which were a pre order.. they kept going "out of stock" in sizes even though it was a pre order they just couldnt get the site to be set up with limitless stock (or frankly put a limit on of 9999999 if need be surely!! even our free work retail site can do this ffs!). I have ordered things off the site for my son and myself (as a coach) twice and both times there has been an issue and I have had to chase on both occasions, they're not great at getting back to you either. I know people have an issue with Oxen but I would not recommend this lot to anyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it reminds me that Toronto's team in the Premier Hockey Federation (formerly known as the National Women's Hockey league) is called the Toronto Six! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
