Hey guys. I left my footies in Australia as a matter of space. However I have decided I need to get one, particularly after meeting another Footy fan and we want to go kick the ball around in subzero degree temperatures because...well because we can. However I am having trouble finding more than just fan balls. I used to have a great training steeden that had the correct weight and shape, where as the fan balls are far too light and not quite right. Just wondering if anyone knows of a website in Europe or an Australian website that ships decent training or match style steedens? I did find a whole lot of Guilbert balls, but they strike me as much more Union in style and as snobby as it sound, I want the correct NRL weight for my way too intense kick arounds in Vondelpark.

Use a house brick like I do. edit: Getting mine sent over with a whole lot of other gear. SHould be here in about a week! (that doesn't help you at all.) I'm a hermit though, so no one to kick it around with.
Folks are coming over in June, May get them to deflate a good one and bring it. However I don't trust them to buy a decent one, they will just get a supporters ball and not realise about the weight. May need to send a friend down to purchase one and drop it off at my folks place
Surely there is a shop in the UK that sells online ?? http://www.sportsballshop.co.uk/acatalog/Steeden-Rugby-Balls.html http://www.rugbyballsonline.com/rugby-balls-14-c.asp http://www.steedensports.com/
UK shop charges 33 pound for postage of a ball that I'm not sure I wil like. All good Mikey flies back to australia for a month over Xmas and comes back early in the new year, he is going to go find me a decent one
