Squad Numbers 2016 : Thu Jan 28, 2016 7:17 am  

Have you guys released your squad numbers yet?

If not, what do you think your best team will be?

As a Leigh fan, I think you've got the better long term strategy of bonding young players into a team, rather than buying pentioners like we have and going for the boom or bust method. I know alot of your players are in there early 20s, which can only be good for you.

Could be that he lost the 2 shirt and has an affection for 33. Like Aaron Heremaia at Widnes, or Stuart Fielden had with 29. But I didn't expect him to play this year without a major injury problem in the squad anyway.

Doesn't look like they're giving them out very frequently. That was given nearly 45 minutes ago and another hasn't been done yet. May be one an hour for a few days perhaps.

Edit: God knows the frequency. Gave out Etu at 10am and then went quiet.

I think Uaisele getting the number 33 just confirms what we all knew anyway. Williams, Caro and Clare are the first choice wingers. I really liked Uaisele when he played at the start of last season.

And Kurt Haggerty is no. 28.

Not been offered a deal!

Re: Squad Numbers 2016 : Tue Feb 02, 2016 12:15 pm  

Yeah Haggerty announced as 28. Apparently announcing 4 more today. Talk about stringing something out...

6 a day up to and including Saturday perhaps? With an extra thrown in one day (as I reckon there's 31 players in the squad this year, not including Caprice).

Maybe 32 in total if Uaisele already has 33 and 18 is reserved for that competition winner.
