Player Jersey change at half time Question.

[East Coast Tiger]

Thinking about it...........

Before the teams play, the team list has to be submitted to the NRL. This is usually done on Tuesday Night - as per the NRL demands. This ties in with the publishing of team lists and player numbers in Big League - the "official organ of the NRL". Of course, not always are the teams still the same on match day for a variety of reasons. Still, where players are ruled out late, a replacement player and number are provided. There would have to be an official element to this.

Meaning that Purtell has to be registered as playing in his own unique number.

Either Purtell did not play in that number (for whatever obscure reason), or that he is an illegal player.

I am amazed that we have not heard more about this.

Purtell doesn't even play in the NRL anymore.

But you have just demonstrated how this happened. Some idiot f**ked up.

Speaking of which what number do jerseys go up to these day? I know the main squad is 25 playes so I figured it must go up to 25.

Also as for the team lists, that's only for the media guides. The team isn't officially decleared until 1 hour before kick off

Not sure why your talking about purtell...

What happened was Gordon got injured wearing the 5 jersey in the first half, then they come out in the second half and Simmons is wearing the number 5 jersey.... I'm pretty sure they aren't allowed to do that.

What would of happened if for the home ad away first try scored if Simmons was first try scorer for them while playing in the 5 jersey even though he was supposed to be number 2?

Lost me when you said Big League is the official organ of the NRL. Barry Morgan should have that title http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OHRxZcfYFE

Its always been referred to as the official organ.

And yes, simmons in for purtell. You get the drift. Gotta be illegal.

Still missed the point Loudy, this happened mid game. 1st half, both Simmons (2) and Gordon (5) were on the field.

Second half, Gordon was off and Simmons was out there in Gordon's jersey.

All in all, same result we agree on - they've broken a rule somewhere.

Sounds like he just accidently put the wrong jersey on at halftime. Most players do wear new jerseys in the second half. Deserves a fine

I remember Marcus Bai wearing '55' one game.

Which brings me to one of my pet topics, bring on personalized numbers!

Cause he had some superstition on wearing the number 5, and for some reason or another he was a late inclusion or something and the number 5 had been taken, so he chose to wear 55.

They should be fined. It's only a small thing but Clubs purport to be professional and yet they can't get this right.

Strip them of 2 points...fairs fair after we lost 2 points against them last time

....oh wait they lost :crazy:
