Quote Rogues Gallery="Rogues Gallery"How many overseas players (in total) will be playing at Wembley on Saturday. I'm guessing that it'll be the most in a long time. Hull and HKR are merging their academies and are still bringing in more overseas players.
That's my point'"
For Leeds in the final it's likely you'll see 5 non-english: Moon, Kylie, Delaney, Garbutt and either Achurch or Keinhorst. When we last played your lot in the final in 2011 you fielded 7: Carmont, Richards, Finch, Leuluai, Lima, Hansen and Hoffman so it's a bit rich for a Wigan fan to make that claim.
In fact, in terms of foreigners Leeds' most likely 17 throughout this season has featured only Moon from the backs and only Aiton, Delaney and Kylie in the forwards, with most of everybody else being English (Cuthbertson has yet to declare, and has a completely legitimate and uncontroversial claim to represent England) and the majority are academy trained.
Watkins, Hall, McGuire, Sinfield, Burrow, Ward, Sutcliffe, Singleton, Ablett and JJB have all been first choice players this season - that's 10 out of 17 that have only ever played for us, and that's to ignore Handley. But you think Leeds are going to bring about the demise of the English game by bringing in a world class hooker? Have a word. Of all the clubs to have a pop at it seems strange that you'd pick Leeds.
