That is a bit odd, you have too assume that’s how he wanted it.

Tanginoa and Atkins picked their own numbers.
They wanted the numbers they had on their debut.

Looks a good squad to me.

Nice to have a number but in reality they mean absolutely nothing as the form players should be picked.

Not quite nothing, I'd say that certainly up to 7 they are fairly fixed but as the season goes on I agree they will get more random.

If they mean nothing wouldn't it make sense to do them in alphabetical order - am sure that the players that have them think they mean something - you think rocky wouldn't have preferred the seven rather than 20 odd ?


They are an indication an generally speaking subject to pre season form, season form and injuries are largely an indication of what the coach sees as the preseason starting line up.

Kirmond wont get near starting line up in a fully fit squad.
The number 12 is just being respectul of what hes contributed in the past.
