When perusing the players list forwards it's easy to skip 5 pages ahead because the current page is given first:
<u><<</u> <u><</u>   19 <u>20</u> <u>21</u> <u>22</u> <u>23</u> <u>24</u> <u>25</u> <u>26</u> <u>27</u> <u>28</u>   <u>></u> <u>>></u>

When looking at the list from the end and going back, it's not possible to skip several pages:
<u><<</u> <u><</u>   334 <u>335</u> <u>336</u> <u>337</u> <u>338</u> <u>339</u> <u>340</u> <u>341</u> <u>342</u> <u>343</u>   <u>></u> <u>>></u>

If the current page were placed in the centre of the sequence then it would enable page skipping in both directions.

oh, and there's no <u>, it would seem, lol.
