I was just about to start a thread about the rhino ball. Some thing needs to be done about it this is the league leaders and the challenge cup winners and ball retention is worse than 2 pub teams makes are sport look even more amateurish than it is!

a lot of complaints from fans and players about the rhino ball, but credit to both teams tonight for keeping hold of the ball in terrible conditions, fc certainly learned a lesson from Wembley

i agree, i made the point because they will be forced to change it soon enough from the amount of complaints.

so its like when you have the option of the 5 quid ball in a basket in JJB or the 15 quid one? one feels like its been sprayed with a sticky but oily substance and the other just grips hard to your hand? When i first went a played union i found it difficult to pass the ball it was like an over inflated rugby ball (great for kicking).

Looking at the game tonight did they with the Rhino Ball?

That's a fair assessment. They just don't seem to have the quality of Steeden, whose match balls have a good sticky grip in the dry and cope well in the wet. [size(Steeden if you're reading this, I look forward to my commission payment)[/size


They did.
