Hang on, you are saying that of the 42 players on our list that 26 of them are defenders?
That doesn't sound right

(I'd also say that Lycett is a ruckman foremost, not a forward)

We have 20 players who are defenders, a typo was made while posting. A player´s position may change but I have used the stats from Champion Data which may have not been updated right to the minute.
