So I bought 2 dolphins shirts which have just arrived. (Hurray for shipping and postal strikes)

Firstly I got the standard red in medium to frame. I also got myself the indigenous round shirt which I really liked to wear.

Now. My Wales shirt is 4xl so I thought I'd go for 5x for a bit of baggyness. Turns out an aus 5xl is about a UK 2xl!

All the NRL jerseys are always waaaaay undersized so maybe the replicas are too as they are a knock-off. It's not an Australian thing as people here are always bitching about it.

Plus midlands hobo midlands hobo was a big, hard-running prop in his day. The type who now struggle to make it in the modern NRL due to the speed and stamina requirements.

The replicas from Ali run about 2-3 sizes smaller from what I've seen around. Thinking about grabbing one to check the quality.

I'm talking about the real ones. I got a medium to mount on the wall and a 5xl always go big as you can wear over a hoodie when it's cold.
