I think they give the new recruits the opportunity to select their number based on the order they were drafted in. So Lamb gets first dibs, followed by Parker etc. Usually players prefer lower numbers so the rookies, being last in the selection order, are usually left with the dregs. However, given some players prefer certain numbers in the 40s for whatever reason e.g. Mumford 41, then a rookie may be lucky enough to snag one below 40.

Is there any thought of anyone changing numbers next year?

No, the numbers for 2011 have been finalised - the only new allocations were to the new recruits, everyone else has kept their numbers from last year.

Just some lateral thinking...
