Cant help but think the RFL, and the clubs have missed a massive marketing opportunity not releasing all the kits at same time.

I was really excited to see all the kits today after the big 5.5.17 announcement date but wasted plenty of lunch break trying to find the other shirts and failing. Now I can't be bothered.

Said earlier in the week on the Leeds board that Warrington surely should get Wolverine, just seems so obvious. Leeds are rumoured to be getting Captain America which given the red, white and blue colour scheme should've be nailed on for Wakey who apparently have Spider-Man instead. With red and gold then Catalans should really be Ironman but who knows with the other selections made.

Wolverine isn't a part of the MCU so likely isn't going to feature in these kits.

Manly had it as a one off because Hugh Jackman is a Manly fan but they switched to Falcon this season as all the jerseys featured MCU characters.

If villains were included not just heroes then Thanos could have been an option for the Blue & Yellow teams.

Reckon Wire have got Thor purely to use Ashton Sims for marketing purposes. It surprises me that he doesn't feature in the reveal poster!

Funnily enough. he does appear on a reveal video on the Wolves facebook page though!

A really nifty video however about how Rugby League players are like super heroes...which again makes it more annoying if every team has done a video, why aren't they available to all watch at same time.

If we're expanding the range of characters then having the referees as Watchers would be a good idea.
