You are (partially) correct and I'm wrong. There are 32 players.

I actually hadn't forgotten Mathers (although he's not listed on Bullseye's list). On my own list, I'd missed out Baile, and then somehow managed to not pick that up when comparing to Bullseye's.

I think I need more sleep.....

I make it 33 including Caprice.

Mathers now added.

Concur with that

Full squad numbers released on Thursday at the season launch... plus a surprise signing???

I was definitely wrong when I counted up. There are 32 players contracted (not including Caprice on trial), and since the 18 shirt is given to a fan, they would go up to 33 without missing any out. So my 5 options are just drivel really....

Is this confirmed or just pure speculation?

Oscar Thomas given the Number 1 shirt.

Certainly suggests he's seen as a fullback more than a halfback.

James Clare given 22

Seems late in the day to be announcing them on a drip feed basis. There will be people out there waiting to get a shirt number and name printed and are hoping there favourite isn't last or they won't get it done in time. Poss then end up not bothering which is lost income

The squad numbers is. There is no other shirt presentation night been arranged like in previous years but marketing for the event says the entire squad will be presented on the night.

I am however purely speculating on the new signing though. Its just a hunch I have but there always tends to be a surprise announcement at these kind of events. Last year there was a few but I can see there been room for a late one in ahead of the season.

Genuinely can't see them not signing some kind of half back before the season starts now that they've not offered a contract to Jacks. Surely????

Matty Blythe is Number 15

Can the club even print shirts? If so, you have to question the logic of leaving it so late to announce numbers and lose out on money that could have been made when shirts were sold already.

Anyway, last one for today been announced, Adam O'Brien unsurprisingly is number 9.
