I highly doubt they'd have ever seriously considered boycotting the WCC. Perhaps they may have entertained the idea of sending a less than full strength squad, but never a total boycott.
If I recall correctly, Bellyache suggested resting a few key players for the Townsville game to keep the team refreshed the following week for GF rematch at home. I don't recall him mention a boycott of any games, including WCC.

There was a tweet from Hoffy about getting a preview of the WCC jersey. Hopefully it involves the silver lightning bolts again. Or a gold jersey so Leedscan play in blue.

That looks awesome on the mannequin!!!

I kinda liked the graphic, but the real thing looks shit-hot I reckon. I think it may be time for me to renew my jersey. I have a 1999 and a 2008, think I need a 2013 aswell.

Looks a little strange having piping on the sleeves with that particular cut of jersey. I figured they would have printed the white lines on. They look good - hard to get a proper look with the way they're sitting in these photos, though. I actually don't mind the white one. I just wonder what the players version of these jerseys will look like. Hopefully it'll be more or less identical to the retail version - I want to wear the same thing as the players, not something that kinda sorta looks the same.

Since we have a few players that play for Australia, here's a look at the new jersey for 2013. The Kangaroos are moving from Classic to Canterbury so I'm really looking forward to the supporter gear. I have a Maroons hoodie by Canterbury and it's one of my favourites.

Well, the stuff is done by the same people that have been handling the Storm memberships (The Promotions Factory) so of course things have gone wrong.

I hope I don't get a Chooks membership

Then again, I just hope I get my membership before the first home game next year

The Storm WCC jersey through beer googles. Is it just me or is there a mini Punisher logo at the bottom of the lightning bolts?

That new jersey is a DISGRACE! The ARLC have ruined the best looking jersey in the history of sport. Disgusting that they do away with 100+ years of history and 70 odd years of the Roos wearing the green and gold, the first Australian sports team to do so. lima lima lima duck John Grant! It's bad enough that we have been sponsored by that cats piss for 5 years that jersey just devalues the national side.

Had my first look at them through the window of rugby fever on my way to see The Living End last night. Both look better in person. Might wait til next year to buy a new jersey cos they will have the new premiership logo on them.

Want one. When will we be able to see it without beer goggles? Dragons had a WCC logo in place of the NRL logo a few years back. Hope we do the same....and silver lightning bolts please!

I tried to do some fancy but amateurish photoshop by unblurring or removing the noise, however it just made it more blurry.
In the end I tried to do the old 'squint your eyes' trick but that didn't work either.
Will keep an eye out on Storm's twitter feed once they remove the filter

I'm sorry, but I think that might be a bit of an overreaction. I had a look at my 2012 Maroons Canterbury jersey to get an idea where the gold Vs will sit on the jersey - they'll still take up pretty much the entire chest. I remember Canterbury's new Bulldogs jersey looked pretty terrible when shown as a sketch (in the same style as the Kangaroos jersey here). Once a player was shown wearing it, it looked great. Also, I'm sure the change in the angle of the Vs is so the design will match the new NRL and Kangaroos logos - and to be honest, if they were different that would annoy me more. The collar? Well, it's probably better for the players - and I kinda like it, anyway. I'm sure Canterbury will put out a "classic" version with a collar like they do for the Maroons. The sponsor? Well, it is what it is. I don't drink and I don't care for alcohol in general - but whatever. It's an iconic Australian brand that fits the target audience.

I'll be buying one for sure. The Classic jerseys don't fit me properly so it will be nice to have one I can actually wear.

From that blurry image, it looks like the WCC jersey will be better than our standard away jersey. Go figure.
