I am Spartacus (on Fridays).

This is one of the most irritatingly tedious comms nonsense we've contrived to do in our recent history. It fills my twitter with crap and is generally an utterly pointless way of announcing squad numbers.

I am not sat on the fence. Can you tell?

Well I just thought you weren't on the fence because your Nobby Stiles were acting up.

That being said, it is quite annoying but I'm sure it boosts the Bulls online status in some way

To save me losing the will to live... is there somewhere with a complete list of announced squad numbers?

Halafihi 26 is latest btw.

Think they are living in the past with the way this is being announced. MOst are not particularly interested what number a player wears as it ceased to have any relevance years ago.

I accept I am probably one of the ones living in the past, but I still like the idea of the loose forward being No 13 and the starting props 8 and 10 etc I would prefer to see the first choices being numbered 1-13 with the squad members taking the remaining numbers. So yes I am keen to know the numbers, although I dislike this way of announcing them. I also liked the Shirt presentation night format when around 150 - 200 people attended, probably buying a pint or two and a bag of crisps and some pop for the kids, bringing some revenue into the club. So yes called me old fashioned!

Don't get me wrong, people do like to know the numbers. I just don't think it is that interesting that they should drag it out over three days. We've had players that have not lasted that long.
