Numeric Likenesses from the Past

Post: # 1425796Post bergholt »

Ex-Saints players who wore the same number and are vaguely similar to the new guy with the number.

5: Shane Savage
- He plays a bit like Aussie Jones? Or Gilbert McAdam more likely. Probably not Ian Stewart.

15: Jack Billings
- Frankie Coghlan is perfect! Or Ian Cooper? I never saw him.

18: Billy Longer
- No real ruckmen have ever worn 18 for us. Maybe big Grant Thomas - or Cowboy Neale?

21: Luke Delaney
- Ben Thompson? Don Discher? David Wittey? I barely remember any of these guys. Jody Arnol? 21 is a tough number.

23: Spencer White
- Stewie and big Kos, obviously.

26: Tom Curren
- Probably not Dal, let's be honest. Maybe Kain Taylor?

27: Josh Bruce
- Blakey, I guess. No other big defenders have worn 27.

36: Luke Dunstan
- Brett Knowles, maybe? A namesake called George Dunstan wore 36 for one game in 1926.

40: Blake Acres
- Troy Schwarze, definitely. Maybe Paul Temay? I don't remember him.

43: Eli Templeton
- Brett Moyle or Jayden Attard?

44: Maverick Weller
- Maybe Tony Evans who wore 44 in the mid 80s for a few games?

45: Jason Holmes
- No massive Americans have ever worn 45 for us, strangely.

46: Joe Baker-Thomas
- ...and no big Kiwis have ever worn 46.

Hopefully he's also as tough as Joffa Cunningham and Barry Lawrence.

Mordy Bromberg went okay, so did Daryl Wakelin. I hope he gets the ball as much as Coghlan but I expect (and hope) his skills to be much better.

He's the new Mark Kellett.

And as good in the mud as Stephen Theodore.

A left footers number in the past. Daryl Cunningham and Colin Carter, both in and under types.

In a surprise move he'll go forward and be a cross between George Young and Rod Owen.

I hope he's faster than Temay. He used to run on the spot.
