Guys always slipping in the wet ?

[Deleted member 3518]

Why are our Guys always slipping in the wet . It didn’t happen once to the eels , but I remember at least 3 times guys like Ad were slipping and sliding .
Is it boot selection ? Bad sponsor/ manufacturing? It’s been happening all year .
Or is it bankwest and crappy field that holds moisture on the surface . If so we have to make better choices with our boot selection.

I noticed that too. We need some back up boots with different cleats ready to swap at half time.

Bankwest surface ain’t fit for purpose

I cant say that I've really noticed it. But, it might be an old Tedseco thing. Every time he done a knee he had the long studs. Apparently he was told when his leg was put under pressure in an awkward spot that pressure had to go out somewhere. With the shorter studs it would result in slipping over but with the longer studs digging deeper into the ground, his foot was anchored and the pressure would go out through the knee. He made a decision at the time to abandon the screw ins. Wonder if his teammates followed his lead and over time it became a tigers thing to stick with the moulded studs.
