Who will wear what number next year?

No chance.

Players are recognised better when they wear the bigger numbers which were used rarely throughout a football club's life.

Well done to Kella's for sticking with 39 even though Jewell is more recognised for that number.

I heard from a friend of mine that Staff will return to 1 and give Paddy the number 10 (next to Joel's 11)...but it's probably bushlit.

Thanks Feisty, looks like I was a bit late looking on the RFC website :hihi

I still think Newie should've stuck with 35 though (eg Rehn stayed with 52 forever) as the lower numbers are too well known.

It was quite obvious that JON was going to get 29 so he stays with his Indigenous mates 27 Krak and 30 Tambo, considering 28 is on leave for now.

Hughesy will wear 34 at FF/CHF since Hoggy did in the late 80's/ early 90's.
 
Congrats JON!!! Wear 29 with pride son!!!

Yeah Newmo will look weird as!! Oh well he is all class at least a top player will be wearing the prized numero uno!

I would like to see little bowden in the number 1 next year, JON in number 29, The Cleaver in 16, and Casserley 34...


or as Chiang Mai Tiger sees it, sounds good too.

I am not sure about our number 16 jumper though, seems to have a bad omen about it, can it be cleansed?
I think 15 has been more cursed than 16, until Pettifer wore it this year. Wasn't 16 Bryan Wood's number? Those who war 15 seem to suffer terrible fates; Fred Swift, Jamie Tape, Justin Charles, Ben Marsh, Leon Cameron seems to have escaped it thus far.
 
Out there suggestion.

17 is the Captains Number.

Why not let 29, become the Vice Captains NUmber
 
i can answer my own question now after looking at the PRE 'team' list - i always forget that this isn't just a forum.

it was that Gilmour chap.
