I really wanted to buy one of these, but even the small size is designed to fit some 6 ft 10 inches tall weighing in at 115 kilos

Who does their f**king sizes?

I am 5 ft 7 short (I can't use the word tall) and am "normal" weight for my height so naturally I look to buy the smallest sizes possible. In jerseys, because they're designed to fit tight a small is about right. OK, so its a bit long, but only an inch or two - I can live with that

But hoodies for Australians are designed for people averaging 6 ft tall plus, regardless of size
When I tried on these hoodies, they came down to my knees. I looked like a f**king 5 year old wearing his dads clothes.

The bottom of a hoodie is supposed to sit on or around your belt line. That's why the bottom part is elastic - as you don't tuck it into your trousers, you don't want the wind blowing up your back. They don't need to come down below your f**king backside.

Every single hoodie I have tried on in Oz seems to be designed the same way. I bought my fave hoodies in the UK and they fit perfectly. But these ^^^^^ f**kers above are by far the worst offenders of any hoodie I have ever tried.

Wankers.
Depends on the height of your torso. Modern clothing tends to favour short torsos (made in Asia for the most part), maybe these guys decided to break the mould?

Comes from a bit of an unlikely source but anyway.

The Rugby League Live 4 video game Demo version Fanhub was released today. I was lokking through all the jerseys when I came across the Storm's 2017 heritage jersey. These jerseys in game are fully licenced so I'd say it's the real deal. Haven't seen it revealed anywhere else.

Souths and Brisbane were away sides in Round 10 if I recall correctly - and always marked their intention to wear the jersey a second time at home close to NAIDOC week which starts Monday I believe.

Both clubs are also using it to further their partnerships with DeadlyChoices (Broncos) and Kari (Souths) respectively.
