Number 27 is Jonny Walker.

From the announced numbers so far, I would expect Johnny Campbell will be 26 (since 25, 27 and 28 are all new players)

Hame Lauaki is 21.
Perhaps in honour of his weight in stones last season.

No, it's the length of time he spends on the pitch

I heard they wanted to do that, but Sidlow didn't want to give up his number 10 shirt.

I can only assume from what has been released so far that Mellor has the 13 shirt. If true then I'm pleased for him and that is a big vote of confidence from Jimmy. I'm hoping he has a cracking season and many more beyond that in a Bulls shirt. Another home grown talent that we absolutely need to keep hold of.

I'm assuming Addy will retain the 13 shirt, the idea he'll get no.7 is a joke, surely?

I thought that at first, but somebody needs to fill the 7 shirt and out of what we currently have, who is left? Oscar Thomas is 1 so he can't have it.

Precisely my thinking too. Unless a curve ball gets thrown along the lines of Purtell or Mathers getting 7, I can't see anyone else who could play there, so Addy is the logical one.
Unless they've left 7 free and Mathers will be 34 or something like that.

Jean-Philippe Baile is Number 17.
