Quote: Bets'y Bulls "I think I read somewhere that jimmy wasn't a fan and would let them pick whatever. I do hope we have some sort of sensible allocation, it just won't seem right if Clough for example picks number 1. Wasn't it leigh in there SL season who allocated them alphabetically? Just didn't look right'"
My first season back in 1997 I remember squad numbers were all over the place, halves of Robbie Paul, Glen Tomlinson or Graeme Bradley each with 1, 2 and 3. Stuart Spruce at 28, James Lowes at 25, Steve McNamara with 26, Bernard Dwyer with 23. Number 9 eventually went to outside back Kevin Crouthers. 10 Nathan Graham, 7 Paul Cook.
Them wot days.
