I dunno, it's quite exciting! haha
What was that yellow Tigers one for? That's a horrible colour.

It was a 2012 or 2013 pre-season training jersey and trial game jersey I believe.
I'm sad to say I'd include our 2011 bra jersey in amongst the shockers.

Coote feeling the heat at Cowboys
By Laine Clark

1:05pm Mon 11th November, 2013
Regret was the last thing Lachlan Coote thought he would feel when he arrived for pre-season training at his new NRL club North Queensland on Monday.
Keen to leave no stone unturned in his bid to fill retired legend Matt Bowen's shoes, the ex-Penrith fullback had gone to the extreme of enduring heat chamber sessions for a week in Townsville just to acclimatise.
Still, Coote was left wondering what might have been after arriving at Cowboys training and being told that Scotland had made the World Cup quarter-finals.
So focussed was Coote on stepping up in Bowen's absence, the aspiring Cowboys No.1 withdrew from the Scottish squad ahead of the UK tournament.
Considered World Cup outsiders, Scotland locked up an unlikely quarter-final against holders New Zealand after Tonga ended Italy's fairytale run with a 16-0 defeat in Halifax.
"I have seen that, I am a bit jealous," Coote told reporters in Townsville.
"I wanted to play the World Cup for Scotland.
"But my focus is North Queensland.
"I wanted to be here and get ready for this pre-season, do everything to be right for round one."
Coote would have already impressed incoming head coach Paul Green after braving heat chamber sessions for a solid week.
"I wouldn't say it was enjoyable," Coote said.
"It is something I have not experienced before but I will be better for it.
"But I know January is the time to start panicking about that (heat)."
Coote also gets a chance to stand out in a skeleton Cowboys squad that will not have its full World Cup contingent of 12 players and assistant coach Terry Matterson back until January 13.
"Everyone wants to get their spot and make it their own," Coote said.
"I have come up here to fill Matty Bowen's spot. I am looking forward to that.
"I am doing everything I can to try and impress him (Green) and prepare myself."
Green admitted the Cowboys were behind the eight ball starting pre-season without their large World Cup contingent.
"If it was up to me I wouldn't have them away but that's what happens in a World Cup year. We have to make the best of the situation," said Green who takes over from Neil Henry.
"Teams who don't have anyone at the World Cup have obviously got an advantage because they can start working straight away on team structures and things like that but we will be fine.
"There's no secret to it (pre-season). It hasn't changed. It's just a lot of hard work."

It was raining tatts and Dogs as Canterbury returned to training following tough season
Des Hasler at Canterbury training. Picture: Gregg Porteous Source: News Limited
CANTERBURY captain Michael Ennis can remember sitting in a shattered ANZ Stadium dressing room after his side's shock exit from this year's finals and wondering where it all went wrong.
All he saw were star players; a champion roster.Ennis knew right then that a week-one departure from the finals was simply unacceptable.The Bulldogs returned to training yesterday at Belmore more than aware the team had to make amends to disappointed fans.
"We are blessed to have what we have here at the Bulldogs so we have to turn it around,'' Ennis said.
"The club did a terrific job throughout the year to keep the squad together with the way the salary cap is these days. We are in good shape for a few more years in terms of our roster but you don't get it forever.
"We will be ready from the get-go next year to give it a real shake."Last year left us really empty at the end of the season. Sitting around that dressing room when Newcastle beat us in that semi-final ... seeing the calibre of player we had left you really disappointed.
"To be honest, the six or seven weeks we had off, there weren't too many days that went by where you weren't either looking forward to getting back to training to fix things or thinking about those disappointing periods in the season."
Canterbury players Sam Kasiano, Greg Eastwood, Frank Pritchard, Krisnan Inu, Josh Morris, James Graham, Reni Maitua, Tim Lafai and Drury Low were absent yesterday due to the World Cup. But they will return to a steely resolve at Belmore.
"I know with the roster we have, and how hard our staff work, that we'll be given every opportunity to turn it around," Ennis said.
"The players were really disappointed."We were without James (Graham) for eight weeks at the start of the season. He is a really big part of our side.
We were without Sam (Kasiano) for a lot of the season, Krisnan Inu got suspended at different stages.
"Missing Ben (Barba) for that first month, Frank's (Pritchard) groin didn't come up for the first five weeks.
"We started to build through the middle stages but lost Frank and Greg (Eastwood) at the back-end. Benny had his ankle dramas - it just didn't end the way we all knew it could.
"That's what hurts the most. You don't get opportunities in football like the one we have with the side we have."

Boring town pride for special talent Robert Lane, who is heading to UK with Indigenous side
Robert Lane (ball) from Goodooga pictured with teammates. Source: Supplied
ROBERT Lane hails from Australia's most boring town.
"Yeah, that tag was lumped on Goodooga in '81,'' the Aboriginal schoolboy grins. "I wasn't even born but since then we've lost the service station, which had one petrol pump, and a shop too.
"So I guess most people probably think we've only gone downhill."
Speaking with The Daily Telegraph in his favourite Goodooga t-shirt, Lane is the living, breathing, smiling proof that rugby league may truly be the greatest game of all.
Still only 16, and hailing from a family that has never travelled overseas, this gifted young fullback now heads a team of indigenous schoolboys who, as you read this, have landed in the United Kingdom for a three-game tour of both England and France - the first of their kind to ever do so.
It's why, suddenly, Goodooga isn't so boring anymore.
Hasn't been for the past three months as, following the announcement that one of their own had made it, the tiny community of 250 rallied in the form of meat raffles, 100 clubs, even anonymous donations from property owners to get their boy on that plane.
It's been a similar story for schoolboys from Cargo, Condobolin and Lake Cargelico. Kangaroo superstar Greg Inglis gave three grand from his own pocket so the entire squad can visit Euro Disney.
"So I really hope we get to meet GI over there,'' Lane said. "Just so I can shake his hand and say thanks."It's been the same out home, I can't even walk down the street without someone wanting to cuddle or kiss me.
"There's a wonderful sense of community in Goodooga and everyone is so proud when one of their own do well."Even the boys in the senior footy side, they're always telling me 'chase your dreams'.''
"Chasing the dream" is exactly what Lane has been doing since 13 when he was offered a scholarship to Nudgee College in Brisbane.Back in 1981, Goodooga was classified by the ABC as the most boring town in Australia.
It's said a local wrote to the ABC explaining how the highlight of their day was to visit the servo and see if the numbers on the petrol pump had changed from the day before.

New Penrith recruit Tyrone Peachey could leave New South Wales Blues feeling Peachy
Former Sharks player Tyrone Peachey makes a break on his debut against Canberra. Source: News Limited
PENRITH supremo Phil Gould believes Tyrone Peachey could be a future New South Wales Origin star, declaring he has the potential to fill the void Craig Wing left four years ago.
Having joined the Panthers on a two-year-deal, the 22-year-old nephew of Cronulla legend David Peachey is a key signing for the mountain men.According to Gould, his potential extends beyond the confines of first grade.
"Tyrone is a special talent," Gould told Foxsports.com.au.
"Personally I think he has the potential to go beyond NRL and even play Origin football so he was a key recruit for us.
"I think since Craig Wing left Australia, New South Wales have struggled for that impact bench player and I think Tyrone Peachey could be the answer for them in the next couple of years and I wanted to be a part of that development.
"I wanted him to be a part of the Panthers because he plays the type of football our coach Ivan Cleary likes to play."
Wing played 13 State of Origin games for the Blues and while Peachey is only seven games into his NRL career, his future is bright.
A resourceful player, Peachey can player a number of roles from five-eighth to lock. Peachey says his preferred position is lock but Gould says he will not be restricted to just one role.
"His versatility is a great strength, he is a player you can put out anywhere," Gould said.
"I can see him playing predominantly in the back row for the Panthers but he'll be schooled in many different positions and roles and I think that's important going ahead from an Origin perspective.
"Again I refer back to Craig Wing, I don't think we've had a bench player for NSW as good as Wing since he retired and I know my time coaching back there his impact was imperative to our success and I think Peachey can have the same affect for them.
"Having left Cronulla after making his NRL debut for the Sharks in round 10 of the 2013 season, Peachey says the persistence Gould and Ivan Cleary showed in wanting to acquire his services was the deal-clincher.

"It was a big decision leaving Cronulla - I had been there since I was 16," Peachey told Foxsports.com.au.
"I grew up with the club and I could see I got used to Cronulla… the thing that made me change was Ivan and Gus were really keen to have me. They were calling me almost every day and calling my manger.
"You could see they were keen to have me. It's not that Cronulla didn't want me but they weren't as keen. I needed to start fresh."
The 2011 Toyota Cup lock of the year has moved into a house with his girlfriend which is close to the stadium.
While Peachey says he is not much of a personal goal setter, he has a list of achievements which includes adding some more weight to his 94kg frame and playing representative football, like Gould predicts he will.
"My first goal is to cement a spot in first grade and if everything goes well hopefully play City versus Country and hopefully NSW and Australia like (Andrew) Fifita," he said.

Having left the Sharks, a club where his famous uncle built a legacy, both Peachey and Gould agreed that forging his own identity had nothing to do with him becoming a Panther.
"His name could have been Billy Smith for all I cared. All I was interested in was his ability," Gould said.
"We saw him as a key recruit. The Peachey name or the fact he was at Cronulla had nothing to do with it."

Soward's clean slate at Penrith
By James MacSmith
AAP
3:07pm Thu 14th November, 2013
Jamie Soward says he has put his time at St George Illawarra, good and bad, behind him as he sets about once again proving himself as an NRL footballer with Penrith next year.
A 2010 premiership-winner with the Dragons, but a lightning rod of criticism for the club's lacklustre performances since 2011, Soward was unceremoniously cast aside by the joint venture this year as they struggled to one of their worst seasons.
He then spent a short stint in the Super League with London Broncos before joining the Panthers for pre-season training last week.
The enigmatic playmaker said the time away gave him the opportunity to clear his head, reassess and return to the NRL with a clean slate.
"I got away and had some time to reflect and realised I was trying to prove things to the wrong people, I just need to prove that I can still do it (play good football) to myself," Soward said on Thursday.
"I just needed to get back into a comfortable environment where I am now and working with people who I want to work with to get the best out of me. I know that is when I play my best football.
"Now I'm at the Panthers I'm not going to stand around and talk about the Dragons for the next four years. I want to get that out of the way now and concentrate on playing my best football here."
Some eyebrows were raised when the Panthers signed the former State of Origin five-eighth to a four-year deal starting in 2014.
Soward saying it was now up to him to make the most of the opportunity Penrith coach Ivan Cleary and football boss Phil Gould have given him.
"I'm loving it at Penrith and I'm grateful for the chance," Soward said.
"Gus (Gould) and Ivan have played a big role in getting me here and I'm keen to repay that faith in me. It's not about me doing everything it's about me doing what I can to help the team."
Soward is one of a host of significant signings for the Panthers ahead of next season, including Tyrone Peachey, Brent Kite, Elijah Taylor and Peter Wallace in a squad the 29-year-old goalkicking pivot said is capable of making the finals.
