David Hyomes’ Jersey Talk: #1 – full-back
Today we embark on an intriguing look at the most iconic occupants of the 13 starting shirts of our club. If you play at full back you are entitled to wear the number one Jersey, and that always seems to carry an extra bit of status and responsibility. I have heard many knowledgeable Rugby League people say that full back is the most difficult position to play – physically and mentally.
