Rocket Science: the epitaph for the Beveridge era - whenever it ends - reading 'Here lies a team that could beat anyone on its day, but seldom did when it mattered most'. 15/7/2023
As a rookie you'd want 41 wouldn't you?
As close as possible to #42 worn by two rookie legends (Boyd then Picken).
Yep!
- Lipsinki gets 13 as it's close to 12 his TAC number. Hopefully he liked Gia as a fan.
- English gets Will's 27 as our new ruck. Couldn't be more unlike Will as a ruck but he is one nonetheless.
- Cloke with 30. He wore 32 and his dad 33 I think. 30 is close enough!
- Young, Green and Mullenger-McHugh get what's left in order they were drafted.

I think the new guys should slug it out for the best numbers MMA style.
Have we got any retired numbers ATM.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
Adams changing means from Hargrave onwards no one has worn the 33 for more than 3 (maybe even two, I'm going off memory here) seasons.
Not only that, three players in that time have made the same switch from 33 to 25 (Hargrave, Hunter and Adams). Other players to wear it briefly were Brad Murphy, Josh Hill (switched to 20), Tim Callan, Nick Lower and Sam Darley.
