Rhino RL balls, advice from dads needed : Sat Sep 01, 2018 8:16 am  

I've being looking for a size 2.5 rugby league ball for my little boy

I've not being able to find a rhino ball though
With this being the official SL ball I'd assume they would make one but I can only find size 3 to 5

Gilbert do make a 2.5 but would rather have the rugby league sponsered ball if they do make one

Can any one help? Do they make one and where can you get them

Is the Gilbert ball a RL ball or a RU one?
How old is your lad, we run U7's and up at our club (that's 5 years and older)and from memory I'm sure we don't use anything smaller than a size 3

Yes Gilbert is the union ball so would prefer a rhino one as that's the RL one

First size is 2.5 which is up to 6 years of age
He's younger than 6 so that's the all I'm after

If rhino don't make one in a 2.5 I'll have Togo with them

Classic though that you can get the ru ball but not the RL ball

I used size 3 with my LO from about 3 years old. Slightly bigger balls are a bit easier for little hands to catch and hold
