Its crazy not having the squad numbers !!!

Its like Sean states some shirts are not interchangable between players, Not all Fullbacks are the same size and neither are all hookers, props etc ....

The players play in shirts that are skin tight I have penkys 2009 shirt and Ben Blacks 2010 at Home and they are both labelled as XL Boys !!!!

Also the supporters prefer squad numbers as the players are more easily identified - its just another crazy idea ......

Johnny Freeman Fan Club is correct (as usual?). The majority of the Championship Clubs favoured a return to 1-13 numbers, so that was reflected in the Operational Rules for 2012.
Halifax didn't favour the change because, as Piston Broke observes, it is totally impractical. Each playing shirt costs £45 to the Club, and short of buying 4 complete sets of each colour, it isn't possible to guarantee that every player picked in a particular position can have a numbered shirt matching that position. However, it's reasonable to assume that the next replacement black shirt will be a number 1 in Ryan's size.

Try educating a young child in how to play like a professional player on tv plays that given role.
"hey young 'un, watch how number 27 packs down at loose forward when we have the ball but how he defends at right centre when the other team have the ball at a scrum"
It's all bu££, the game has gone mad.

ok. now someone tell me please. just watching north v south wales. and players have no,s 21, 22, 23 on their backs. how can they use squad numbers and if they can why cant we and put names on em.

ok, so complete as usual when comes to a welsh team etc. they are allowed to break rules. they are wearing squad numbered shirts on tv.
