I forgot to wear my Robbo badge. We could've used his brilliance last night.

I was walking down the street of Kuta yesterday wearing my sharks polo with pride when I was approached by a seller who asked me how much I pay I said I bought it in Aus and paid $70 he said I have same you come to my shop, I said no mate they are not , he said yes same, so keeping the pease I went to his shop and yes 2014 striped white polo identical he wanted $30 I got it for $10 when I got it home I noticed the tag in collar was was a different color NRL green he had heaps of other clubs mainly souths, storm and broncos if you go to bali and go to a sports bar look for Sharks stickers they have no objection with you taging there cafes, my driver who I have used for years and give him my old sharks gear wears it everywhere and gets great feed back he is now fitted out in the new 2014 kit and wears it with pride and gets heaps of work from people who follow NRL when people yell out SHARKIES he yells back PAUL GALLEN BLOODY GOOD puts as smile on a lot of faces (he has no idea who Gal is)

cool story. So you are happy that they are selling counterfeit gear. Something that is robbing the NRL and the club of money? Obviously it wasnt going to be real. It looks real. But they arent.

On the merchandise front though, at the Saints game i bought a Large grey training hoody. Seems a bit small for a large, so my missus uses it as a round the house jumper, ill buy a new xl next game. First time i'd used my members discount, saved me $8. I dont ever use it, usually i might only save $5 or something. However i did see an aussie seller on ebay selling same jumper for $70 (i paid 72 down from $80) with free post. sharksstore.com.au still charge 13 postage…….

if the club wants the money they need to do the free postage over $50 thing that everyone does. They are robbing themselves

The more people wearing sharks gear out there the better. Real or not. The club needs positive branding and nothing is more positive then a smiling kid in a sharks shirt.

Mate dont get me wrong im not passionate about the counterfeit bull****.

Although something interesting happened a few weeks back. I bought 2 pairs of quiksilver boardshorts for surfing, got them from surfstitch. Were 2 different looking pairs, same price, both have quiksilvers 4 way stretch material.
When i got them as soon as i held em i knew 1 pair was more stretchy than the other. So i read the tags. 1 made in china (or thailand i cant remember) the other vietnam. The pair from vietnam had a 65%-35% polyester and watever the stretch material was. The chinese pair was 55-45. To be honest i felt cheated
