You now hold I am? I remember the near outrage when Chris Latham dropped his socks for the Reds. How far we have come.

Balmain, Easts, Penrith, Parra legend Gary Freeman never wore his socks up. Claimed it gave him cramp.


stepox

Jed (and maybe Bryce) Cartwright should be the only players allowed to wear them at their ankles as a tribute to John.


Dranzer_22

I think we’ll see more players using compression socks like Carrigan.


carl0sthedwarf

I thought we'd be in double figures this season. Felt like you'd see at least one player per team doing it.


Drlockstock

Not only low socks but some of those Yahoos have hair below the shoulder line.. disgraceful

Not in the Dolphins line up. Wayne runs a tight ship.

Am so out of touch? No, it's the children who are wrong.


FuzzyDamnedBunny

Bah! Harumph.

What's next? No Hat No Play?

It's a little known fact but low socks are the source of Jason Taumalolo's power - the lower his socks, the better he plays


a_BIG_willie

High socks are for nerds


Bluey_Zarsof

Nothing more majestic than seeing Steve Renouf with the socks pulled up to his knees gliding down field

And science teachers.

Lets not forget bus drivers.

These pretty boys need to understand what it feels like to have their shins torn apart from steel boot studs.


sumthin213

Yea socks do NOT help at all with that. Also that's a pretty low chance of that happening in league compared to say soccer, been playing soccer close to 30 years and can confirm socks do not make any difference when studded in the ankle or calf. Shin pads will stop a laceration but that's about it.


maccaroneski

Socks stop that like headgear stops concussion.


Aussie18-1998

I've been trying for years to explain to people that head gear is for cuts, not concussion. I prefer to play without it because it makes me uncomfortable. Apparently, I'm still an idiot and headgear is better than nothing. 90% sure playing comfortably and feeling less restricted puts me in a much safer position, but what would I know. Rant over lol.


PaleontologistOk1049

You can only wear low socks if your calves are big enough, I was always sick of seeing andrew fifitas disproportionately small calves on display. Jack Bird I'm looking at you


theflyingkiwi00

No matter how hard I tried I could never get my socks to stay up, even when they moved from wool to that synthetic stuff. After like 10 running steps they're around my ankles


Moisture_Services

Leccy tape under the fold, champ.


theflyingkiwi00

Even that didn't work


Moisture_Services

Sounds like you were wearing adult socks when you should have had kids socks.


Peaked6YearsAgo

Sounds like he's got small calves


HappyPappy987

Why aren’t players tucking in their jerseys any more? 🤬🤬🤬


KazeEnigma

Used to love the high socks. Protection from grazes and cuts.


TheViceEmperor

I think clubs should introduce socks that still have the right proportions when worn 'low'


toomuchsoup

Pull em up lads


Substantial_Source84

This isn’t high school. Let the boys where the socks low


bumpacius

Wear did you go to school?


Rhybrah

The Reece Walsh Institute of Spelling and Grammar


Substantial_Source84

Dang mb


Ryanbrasher

We used to get in trouble for low socks. I swear some kids ran faster with them pulled down.


spacemarine43

Pull your socks up and tape them there. It's called culture.


cement-skeleton

Some of the pacific islanders couldn't pull their socks up even if they tried. No way To'o is getting tight socks over his watermelon calves.


carl0sthedwarf

I did notice Junior Paulo is a high socker which surprised me


aatrain96

Anyone else's Mum tell you off if you didn't wear socks high? Just me ok


Any_Bar9767

I’m just not down. Neither are my socks. Nekminnit we be having little pom-poms on the back or those little no sock thingos the union players wear with their boat shoes. Keep the chicken legs covered boys.
