eye openers for me, riley at 2 i suppose as well if that indicates first choice team.

so much for spider and his warney preference or whatever it was

Numbers are just exactly that, but, Bridge left centre, King right. The Ben Harrison one clearly shows the progress he's made.

tbh it dosnt really matter what shirt number the players, have as long as 100% is given i dont care.

I wouldn't assume that. i.e. I am sure Ryan Atkins (23) hasn't been signed to sit on the bench.

Can't see Neal, Thompson or Blythe getting much of a look in, especially with further rumoured signings

Note the word "rumoured"...

mmmm



Still, surprised he didn't give the numbers based on alphabetical order.

If that's the case why did we pay £100,000 for Atkins?

King may well play on the wing.

On the other hand, you have to have options. SL is a squad game, you have to have options.

If either winger gets injured, King shifts to the wing. Atkins plays centre. Or clearly, if either centre is injured, he plays. So in effect, if any of the backline are injured, which is a pretty high probability that one of them will be missing given King missed a lot of games at the back end of the season, Hicks too & Bridge has had his injury problems.

Atkins will be here a long time after King has gone.

Cant help but think that King will be on the Wing, I dont think Riley is top tier stuff, with a backline of Hicks, Bridge, Atkins, King it gives us great strength in both attack and defence with no real weak links. As good as Riley does for us he is prone to massive brainfarts.

King might want to be number 3 as a left centre in the NRL is No 3

Hicks was number five at Manly and I think number 2 is the left wing

Atkins 23 might mean he will play left centre/left wing

It's all in code .....

9. Michael Monaghan

Wouldnt it have made more sense to give bridge the 25 shirt again and atkins the 4, cant bridge cover more positions in the back line??

NEWSFLASH- Doesn't make a difference.

going give us quite a big backline aswell

high bombs much?

I'll second that.

Who's our 25 then ?

Graham.

Retired, as a tribute to Gianfranco Zola, probably the best foreign import to grace the Premiership.

Many would disagree with that.The best import to grace these shores was
Georgi Kinkladze

not to turn this into a footy post but surely Paolo Di Canio was the greatest, just for pushing the ref over then maybe Djimi Traore for his backhealed goal against Burnley

eric cantona followed by dennis bergkamp.

What number 25 did they not play?
