It meant both teams looked eerily like the other, with the Titans\u2019 jersey looking almost identical to the colour scheme usually worn by the Cowboys. <\/p>\n
The optical illusion jersey clash had many viewers thinking the Titans were leading the game when in fact the Cowboys dominated with five tries, which were all converted by Scott Drinkwater.<\/p>\n
NRL pundit The Mole posted on social media: \u201cIs it just me or does the Titans Indigenous jersey look a little \u201cCowboy-ish?\u201d<\/p>\n
Bernie Cohen wrote: \u201cSomeone explain why these sides are wearing these colours and why did the #nrl allow it?? <\/p>\n
\u201cNo dramas with Indigenous jerseys but this bloody ridiculous. You only have to look at the colours on the score to question who the hell is who.\u201d<\/p>\n
Reginald\u2019s Jumper Analysis posted: \u201c1\/10 jumper rating for tonight\u2019s clash between the Titans and Cowboys. I am flabbergasted. <\/p>\n
\u201cHow do we have two teams wear the opposite teams exact colours in the same match? How can one possibly tell who\u2019s winning? Look at the scoreboard colours! How could they let this happen? Both sides are wearing the other sides colours. Absolute amateur hour.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stephanie Williams said: \u201cWho the hell at the NRL decided it was a good idea for the teams to swap gurneys it\u2019s so damn confusing for all.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another fan said: \u201cThese jerseys are ridiculously confusing.\u201d<\/p>\n
With young halfback Zane Harrison ruled out of the rest of the season with a hamstring injury, the Titans were rudderless in attack as their tough season continued. <\/p>\n
\u201cI think that\u2019s the problem sometimes because youse have got three fullbacks in the team so everything\u2019s side to side,\u201d NRL great Justin Hodges said on the Matty Johns Show on Kayo Sports.<\/p>\n
\u201cAJ Brimson, Phil (Sami), Jojo (Fifita) on the wing, all these fantastic strike players who you need, but it\u2019s side to side. You need 16 more (Keanu) Kinis.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut when you get it right and Tino does his job and the other big forwards do their job, your outside backs are so dangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWatching the Titans they\u2019re a frantic sort of side because they\u2019ve got so many blokes who can bounce and move and get behind the markers, but couldn\u2019t get it right tonight,\u201d Nathan Hindmarsh said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThanks for being positive,\u201d Titans co-owner Matty Johns quipped, adding: \u201cI thought they were a bit frantic with the football. Too much focus on their attack.\u201d<\/p>\n
