Quote: Bulliac "I think both league and union sides have used letters in the past, though just why I can't imagine. I certainly can't remember any league team doing it in recent history [depending on what you regard as recent, I go back to the mid 1950s, though early memories are more than a bit hazy...]. I think a union side was still using letters in the last 10 or 15 years though, as I can remember the fuss when they changed.
Can't think of any puns - largely since, even with our large squad, we're not getting beyond xxix or if you prefer xxviiii'"
Those weren't Union sides, they were netball players.
