Absolute disgrace that Chris `The Force `Anakin has not got a 8 - 13 shirt number.

Some players choose their squad numbers - maybe he was asked and said 'I'll stick with last years number, it served me well' - comfort, superstition, lack of ego ... its the ones who demand a specific number that worry me, they're not team players.

It'll definitely be Grix. Don't even think CC played BJB at full back in a single game last year so hopefully he gets 2 and Johnstone 5 because I'm OCD and Johnstone wearing 2 on the left wing last year annoyed me.

First game of the year BJB was full back I think. Johnstone tried to offload to him on our own line. Don't think he played many more matches at FB, if any.

I think that it would be really tough on Max, if he doesn't get the FB spot.
We should be trying to build our team around Jowitt and Johnstone and showing some commitment towards both of them.
Although Grix has way more experience, IMO, it would be wrong to select him ahead of young Max.

Perhaps it was Jowitt's choice to not take 1, maybe he wants to consolidate his training and learn more from Grix whilest still getting a decent amount of game time

I feel your pain Belly - do you like his new hair cut, I'm not so keen.

I have no inside knowledge of the club however I'm 100% confident that Scott Moore will not be playing for us; having been show a source from social media.
Which is a shame because I do like Moore as a player and he definitely brings something to our team.

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.

Not fussed Jowitt hasn't got the one shirt, he'll start Boxing Day I imagine anyway. Up to him to keep the spot from Grix.

Numbers don't mean a great deal but they can indicate.

Numbers don't mean that a player can't start, but it does indicate what the coach is planning.

But as said, it might be Jowitt's choice or CC may be doing it to take some pressure off him.

He definitely brings something to the team!
But unfortunately spends too much time suspended, injured or injured when suspended!

Vasty, his new haircut is gorgeously and deliciously strong, you lack insight and appreciation in and of male grooming.
