Quote: altofts wildcat "Numbers mean squat, in 2012 Ellis was 9, wood was 7 and Tim Smith 20 but Wood played Hooker and Smith played scrum half and Ellis barely played.'"
well if numbers mean squat why bother numbering at all , and why all the traffic on here?
Most players want a 1 - 13 shirt and most coaches number their starting 13 in roughly the position they choose them to play . That can change over the course of a season in the case of Tim smith he wanted number 20 for superstition reasons.
