We’ve had squad numbers for years in SL and I hate them. It’s just a lazy way to screw a bit more money out of parents. It’s a nightmare trying to explain to the uninitiated why #19 and #3 are both centres, as an example. Nobody I know cares about teasers for squad numbers. Usually the accepted starting players get the 1-17 numbers with a few anomalies. The problems start with players from the 1-17 being unavailable and the higher squad numbers play. Rarely a player will request a number that is outside of the regular numbering system. Other than getting parents to fork out extra money for each letter of the name I don’t see the benefits personally. As an aside Seitamata Sa was always a popular choice with parents whereas Louis McCarthy- Scarsbrook wasn’t.
Should the NRL finally adopt squad numbers?
The two divisions below the SL have just adopted the GP. The winning team after GP gets two competition points and the losing team gets one competition point. The SL is still running with the same system used in the NRL.
NRL must change its scoring system to resolve the golden point farce
Don’t the betting agencies in Australia limit the match betting to 80 minutes of play so still having the option of backing the draw? Or a losing bet if the punter has selected one or other team to win.
