Blades....are they worth it?

[Snoop Shark]

I've been thinking(some may say overthinking) about our teams foot wear(and injuries).

It's obvious that footy boots these days are made for extra grip...but do they offer too much grip to the point of causing injuries?

I know when I did my knee I wore blades. We have Gards, Morris, J Smith, Williams and now Aition all with leg or ankle injuries and I was wondering if there was any connection. I'm sure they all wear blades.

Just sayin

I'm sure inline skating is would activate contract clauses.

ankle high with steel caps and screw in aluminium studs... just like George Taylforth wore. That would reduce the ankle injuries.

And steel caps could see the return of the now defunct toe poke.

I thought that the blades system was designed to do minimise injury risk?

Was reading some mag on a plane recently that said the blades maximize grip through normal motions, but release grip when unnatural strain is placed on them.

What kinda tool buys blades? Almost as bad as those farkwits in orange or fluro blue/yellow/green boots.

I buy blades. I use a pair of gold ones. I am not a tool.

And blades certainly are worth it. I've used Nike, Adidas and Aasics in the past. Blades are far and away the best.

I didn't know blades made netball boots.

(psssts, this Gold Boots and Bunnyman must rank up there with DaSoup posting those Gym pics.... just priceless)

Just hope no one has posted this information about wearing Gold Boots in the main NRL forum. Geeze it might embarrass BM (sniggers)

by the way BM have you got any gym pics? You know big arm type pics, some ab shots, pecs...

No matter what style boot you wear ..... if you have a running style like Richard Reid, and as a footy player you look like Richard Reid, then sure enough you are a nice person.

Hey BM, or do we call you what your team mates call you ..... Dick.
