They were, but they were a bugger when you carried the ball into contact, and a lot more difficult to offload.

I believe they actually changed the design of the 8 panel balls after the first season of using them as they were too"round" ! the second design was a bit longer and thinner and a much better ball, I think the steedons are far better though!

Why did the RFL switch back to 4 panel traditional balls from the 6 panel ball. And why we're on the topic, why did they change to the 6 panel version in the first place?

Anybody know?


Cos they wanted too.

presumably the 8 panel balls are only made by Gilbert, and the RFL has a deal with Steedon now.

This is true, although they are technically the same company now.
