[edit] Player line ups

I've noticed that in the old season articles the player line ups looks like ; in the season acrtiles they look like New_South_Wales_Rugby_League_season_1990; now in the SoO article we have a new one. Not sure which of the former two I prefer, but I must admit I think both are preferable to this one where there are two vertical lists required. What do you reckon ?Sticks66 15:26, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

I Think the way they're listed on SoO pages is to show any changes to the lineups through the 3-game series. They're three separate games, but effectively the same team. Most other lists are for one-off games so they don't need to do this. To use their listing systems for State of Origin would be pretty inefficient. You'd have to have three separate lists, wth most of the players remaning the same in each. I think the status quo is alright for SoO. As far one-off games go, in my opinion the way they're listed in the old grand finals isn't as good as in the new. But to change them you'd have to know what position everyone was playing in. Might take a bit of work to find out.--Jeff79 19:25, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
