Pure speculation but it's the rumour on the Leigh board at the moment.

| He's requested his original number of 35.
Leigh fans are dreaming.

Just a simple question if you can answer it, why are the club drip feeding the shirt numbers instead of just announcing them all at once?

To build the tension. No specific reason as far as I know. They do it every year. I think its a Connor thing.
I'm assuming its a virtual version of bringing the players out 1 at a time.
Personally I think it is a good idea, I'd have just started at 30 and counted down

I just can't spake.
I mean there's rumours and speculation then there is this.
Nothing is impossible but I fear you've been had, even for a Wakey fan that's really is a pessimistic outlook.

Bit gimmicky but as PT says. I personally miss the old Mustang Sally nights, that was the way to do it.

| It appears they were just building the tension even more. They just put Big Dave on Insta with 35

Most definitely Wakefield
If he was going elsewhere surely he'd be going to Fev where the big bucks are.

Top six 2005 - Trinity.: |

| Quote: vastman "Or Aydin.
Puts to bed the idea that Arona is seen as anything other than a prop these days.
As I'm on a roll I also thought Pitts was the obvious choice for LF.
Me and WP are like connected it seems
Personally Pitts was excellent in right SR last year (12) and Tanginoa was very good once he switched back to left SR (11).
It seems odd to me to move Pitts/Tangi both to new sides/positions. Certainly a big risk if the numbers are relevant to positions.
I personally thought Ashurst would be an interchange 13 option with Tangi and Pitts retaining their “best positions”.
Of course the squad numbers may hold 0 relevance to actual positions. Either way I trust the coaching team to select players in their best positions. If they take the risk with moves positionally then they will take the plaudits or criticism either way.
Seems strange to me though if those numbers are to go by.
Also, huge positive here but it’s so good to see a lot of wakey homegrown products in the team!

| I agree but I'd have actually gone Kelepi 11, Batch 12 and Pitts 13

That’s the key, the numbers are a very rough guide especially in on particular case.
In the modern game he will go with what’s needed on the day.
Some players are fixed, Fifita and Battye will prop and TJ is unlikely to appear anywhere else but on the wing.
Pitts, Arona and Tanginoa are much more versatile and although I thing both All three now carry numbers to match their prime positions there is every chance they will play elsewhere.
It’s good in this day and age to have a large number of players who can’t just play more than one position but play them all well.

I agree, I've heard that David F wants to be the goal kicking half-back and he's No 35
