a bit more sarcasm

Thinking further about Rugby League as a fashion parade, I wonder if the next change to uniform style might be to put the boys in ties with a trendy Luis Vuitton tie pin to hold it fashionably in place while they ran down the sideline with the ball in a leather briefcase and then at half time they had personal hairdressers recoiff their locks and shoe cleaners come in and polish up their auburn or burgundy leather soled Julius Marlowes or Florsheims? And they could serve say some devonshire teas to the poor chaps whenever there was a break in play - after all, swigging out of a plastic bottle from a common sports store seems rather down image doesn't it? Imagine the footy shorts and footy sox look but team colours tie and Florsheims instead of Nike boots and it wouldn't take much to keep the footy jumper look but attach a collar to it so the tie could be worn. And then after a try was scored the Royal Doulton tea service would be brought on. And as for the scrum. After the forwards had "finished" if this is what they do, they could go off and have a shower and reset their hair.
