Re: squad numbers
Just calling them central defenders rather than centre half shows age.

Football the only that's standard is 1 being the goalkeeper. Even then that's not always the case. And it used to be the case that 4 and 5 were central defenders and 11 and 7 being midfielders. Now you have 4 as a midfielder and strikers wearing 11 and 7, or being able to pick the numbers they want.
You learn who the players are by their positioning not by squad numbers. In most cases it will be:
WING-CENTRE-HALF-SECOND-ROW-PROP-HOOKER-LOOSE FORWARD-PROP-SECOND ROW-HALF-CENTRE-WING
FULL BACK
Probably so! Bring back inside backs and inside forwards, as well as sweepers!

Re: squad numbers
All though they do look random the numbers in NFL are actually determined by what positions they playHuddsTigers wrote:I disagree.

works both ways. it's confusing for positions yes but if you have a different number 8 every week that could also confuse a newbee

Re: squad numbers
Yes i must admit i thought Turner would have warranted a squad number, does the lad want one ?? is he putting his studies before his rugby ?? is he moving on, the lad as achieved as much as he can being picked for England, but as the old saying goes you can take an horse to water but you cant make it drinkCasmoley wrote:Gateman won't be happy.. no Squad number for Turner, Rayy, Render, Storey or Bustin.

And in our game we had halves not stanzas, passes not offloads, and real brawls, not handbags....and Chuck Hardisty. The games also lasted one and a half hours all in.
