The NRL makes the decision on which strip the clubs will wear in each game.
False. The NRL only approves the decision from the clubs. See below (excerpt from the Operations Manual).
"In all cases the Home Team will be entitled to wear the playing
strip of their choice. The Visiting Team may apply to the
NRL Chief Operating Officer (or his nominee) for approval to
wear either of their playing strips, however, where the NRL
Chief Operating Officer (or his nominee) considers that the
Visiting Teams strip selection does not sufficiently contrast
with the Home Teams selection, the NRL Chief Operating
Officer (or his nominee) may direct the Visiting Team to wear
their alternate strip.
c. If the NRL Chief Operating Officer (or his nominee) is of
the opinion that the colour contrast between the two playing
strips of any Club is not sufficient, the Club concerned
will be required to have a third playing strip in a completely
contrasting colour available for use as directed by the NRL
Chief Operating Officer (or his nominee). Any Club required
to have a third playing strip will be advised in writing by the
NRL Chief Operating Officer (or his nominee).
d. The Form of Notice (attachment E) advising of the Home
Teams selected playing strip, and the Visiting Teams requested
playing strip, must be completed and faxed to the
NRL Chief Operating Officer"
