Be 39 won't he? Point still stands though about such a high number, and I think we've used 36 players this season, surely no one else has matched that so far?

Didn't Cunningham wear that at the weekend?

You've forgotten O'Carroll as well.

I think we played about 34 in 2007, and was told it wasn't quite the record - 5 years ago, so I've forgotten the details. Tbf, Welham and I'anson played one game each from the bench after we were safe for experience rather than out of necessity.

Cunningham wore 31.

Wasn't that just a friendly or a cup game against a side like Oldham, though?

Bloody hell, there's more. So our debutants squad has more rotation options than Gentle currently!

Not in SL I don't think (might have made 18th man though). The match reports on the website say the Bradford game was both he and Green's first SL appearances.

IFs and BUTs perhaps but the wins that should have been against KR and Wakefield would have seen us in a very handy position despite this massive and almost unmanageable turnover of players.
