Club player lists and "player numbers"

[Timmah]

Just got to thinking, there's discussion at one of the Bulldogs boards at the moment about who player number #700 was going to be (it was Nick Youngquest :lol... which clubs list, use and publicise the player numbers of their entire history? The Bulldogs have it fully catalogued on their website - just wondering how many clubs use this practice?

Cheers

In order of appearance from 1935 to now. Not sure how they ordered the first team, I'd imagine by position 1-17 and so on...

Jack Morisson is player no 1. I think below is the reason why he was no 1.

Jack Morrison became the first player to captain Canterbury when he led the team out to play North Sydney at North Sydney Oval in round 1 of 1935.

Parramatta have it documented. They have just passed 700 players as well. I believe they have also received caps to document their numbers as well.

Great stuff. I thought Cronulla did it too? What about Saints? Any other clubs?

Warriorsw have a list on their website.

 

[Billy Gunn]

The Roosters did this at the end of 2006 they are almost at 1100 players

Wests Tigers not updated there...^

 

[Timmah]

Great stuff ink. That a register you've kept yourself?

 

[Spud]

That original Wests Tigers team 1-17 actually looked pretty handy. It is a bit of a surprise that it took them six seasons to make the finals

 

[innsaneink]

Yeah, created it over summer after the '05 GF and just kept updating it as the debutants ran on.

A Bears fan has put together a list of North Sydney's first grade players:

F*ck Timmah are you sure you aren't the count from Sesame Street? I've never seen someone get off on lists and numbers like you do.

Is it possible for a topic to go by without someone having a go? There's absolutely nothing wrong with what I've asked, seriously dude - give it a rest.

 

[Different kind of Rabbit]

Not having a go.

I seriously think you have a numbers fetish or something. Whenever there is a thread to do with some sort of statistic, you have either started it or you're in it up to your neck.

Just an observation.

 

[Timmah]

Plenty of people take a keen interest in different types of statistics, I'm not a lone case or anything. Just not interested in having a thread turn into crap (or not) about me. If you want to pass comment maybe PM me next time, I'm genuinely interested in finding out if other clubs not listed here keep these sorts of records...
