Who sponsors our boots?

Seriously, who makes the boots that our players wear? I've never seen players from any other team slip as much as ours.

I know boots are not sponsored but it's seriously annoying. Mskes slipping costed the chambers try and Ava slipping costed the smith try.

A very small thing obviously but it annoys me a lot now.

It seems some of the boots have no grip at all ..others could enlighten us as many would have much more knowledge than a fossil like me .But I do agree it does seem a bit unprofessional to wear boots that do not give you the footing to play the game.
 
Massive issues at the club, coach potentially axed from the game, huge defensive lapses during the game, poor defense and a captain whose been through hell and back. And the one thing you talk about is shoes? Slippery surface mate, no big deal.
 
It's not just one supplier every player has their own boot sponsor. Most players would carry a couple of sets of boots.
Didn't catch what Moses was wearing but studs would have been a good idea tonight.

The rest has been covered to great lengths. I know it's not a big deal but I find it annoying-just me.

I do know that. It was just annoying that we let in two tries coz our players slipped. Would hate for that to happen in a GF should we get there anytime soon.

Fair dinkum. Im with ya. All the guys need to do is select a pair of boots with screw in studs instead of those puncey flashy coloured moulded numbers.

I think more often than not its the surface, not the boots thats the issue
 
I remember Sheens was always adamant that his players wear studs on their boots that suit the surface they are playing on.
 
You have your various moulded studs and 'blade' type boots as well as your metal screw in studs that vary in length and stud pattern (6/8 etc). Mostly your moulded blades and shorter studs are for quick dry surfaces and your longer studs for wet, muddy conditions from experience.

Exactly a nice pair of kangaroo leather scew in studs . I play rugby and I have 2 pairs of boots 1 pair of screw ins with 2 sets of studs for the extra heavy bog tracks and a pair of moulded for training and hard surfaces . The kids these days have probably been brought up on moulded boots like blades
