Don't think they have issued numbers, just a list of names.

That's what I thought until someone pointed out that Ulugia has number 18 today, but the Bulls are also running a competition for a fan to win the 18 shirt squad number, so now I'm not so sure.
Also Gaskell is wearing 20 and Brook has 6, so I'm not sure that's right either.

Don't think today's numbers will have anything to do with the eventual numbers. I expect VBFG to predict those.

Re: 2015 squad numbers : Mon Jan 12, 2015 9:58 am  

They won't have been real numbers. As well as what has been mentioned about number 18 being a fans number, I can't see the likes of Ferguson and Blythe being given numbers later than 22. It seems way too coincidental that all the players fit enough and available to feature yesterday just happened to be numbers 1-22 (plus one later on).
Some may well be accurate, but I'd be amazed if all of them were.

Agree with that.

Not sure why they haven't firmed up the squad list, unless they intend to restart the 'shirt presentation night', but it's usually been done before the pre-season games.

What happened to the rumour about the players picking their own numbers? As a matter of interest, One of the players did the autograph thing of putting no. N on the Bulls Xmas card I received; maybe habit, maybe psychic, maybe a little bird had whispered in his ear? Maybe pretty obvious too, I guess and yes, he played in that number yesterday.

Do they still do shirt printing in the club shop?

Can't say I've noticed the printing facility when I've been in there. If they don't, it might explain why they're not so fussed about getting the numbers out yet.
When they make money off printing shirts, it's in club's interests to get the numbers out quite early, to maximise people willing to get it on their backs. If they either aren't doing it, or make no money out of it, they presumably aren't that bothered.
