Universal Love Player Numbers – 2024 update (sponsored by Tulip)

[Gysberts2Bate]

Don't think Taj justifies having the #22 gifted to him

Surely Chandler has 1st dibs

Not like there’s a huge amount of clout associated with 22, its last three wearers are Magner, Michie and vandenBerg. Get the sense that since 2017 the club has been playing down the significance of jumper numbers at any rate.

 

[Tulip]

Give #2 the year off IMO

 

[El Gringo]

Guessing?

Yeah. Would fill out the vacated numbers nicely leaving the only unallocated jumpers in the 40’s.

 

[schmuttt]

Give #2 the year off IMO

Agree, no need to fill it right now.

 

[King Kunta]

Training photos posted by the club today show Blake Howes (I think it's him anyway) wearing #22.

Disappointed Taj didn't get it.

Interested to see who gets 21, as I'm planning to buy a 2022 guernsey with 21 on the back.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Come on you lot, stop basking in the glow of your premiership win and announce the numbers!

Would like to see Petty in a single digit number. Don't know why, just do. Also wouldn't mind a change for Jordon, he is just not a 23 - aka Michael, aka Warney - but I presume his namesake is why he chose it.

Would like Hunter in 12, Shache in 26 and Grundy in 19.

 

[Scythe94]

2 doesn't need to be vacant anymore, it had a year off after Jonesy, but that's sufficient IMO.

I'd go Grundy 6, Hunter 12, Shac 19, and maybe JVR up to the 2. Doubt Petty changes after winning a flag in 35

 

[KickLongTackleHard]

Give Grundy #6. Always good to move on a number for someone that walks out.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Grundy is 12 confirmed

 

[Sellout Scully]

Delist Baker and give Hunter 33. Time to follow in daddy's footsteps.

 

[Headless]

If any of our recruits are given numbers 1-50 inclusive, I'll be upset.

Need higher numbers.

 

[Dory_77]

If any of our recruits are given numbers 1-50 inclusive, I'll be upset.

Need higher numbers.

If any of them are given a number lower than 75, I'll spew up

 

[Tulip]

Grundy in 12 next to Max is great.

Give Hunter 19, Schache can have his pick between 46-49.

Petty in 2 or 6 would be cool

 

[mrmonkey]

I feel 35 suits Petty, it's like when farmer went to 33 to 8, it didn't look right, was much better when he went back to 33.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

100%, and he played pretty trash in 8.

 

[GWT6]

Obsessing over player numbers and giving "special" numbers to certain players gives me cold shivers with the memories of Cameron Schwab. Player numbers, that god-awful mess of a logo, the stars on the jumper, whiteboard Wednesday. He thought he was a genius.
