Havent rovers got about 12?

2011: Roberts, Richards, Carmont, Finch, Leuluai, Hoffman, Lima, Cross ... 8

2012: Roberts, Richards, Carmont, Finch, Leuluai, Lima, Lauaki ... 7

too many!!!!

excuse my ignorance but can someone tell me if someone like Olivier Elima at The Bulls or Leon Pryce at Catalans qualify as 'overseas players' or doesn't it count if a player is from an EEC member state ?

thanks

For me as a maximum we should be having no more than 3 overseas players per team. None of this he's got a European passport or was born in Tonga non sense. We need to get more of our young players into first grade so in the long run there is more competition for places at international level.
There are so many positions in the England squad with not a lot of quality cover, if you take prop for instance once Peacock and Morley go what young props have we got coming through to partner Graham?!!?

Lee Mossop, LMS, Sam Burgess to name but a few. The salary cap is what forces youth promotion, not a cap on imports IMHO.

Cas:-

Mcgoldrick, Youngquest, Millington and Chase - 4

And as we all know, Chase now plays for England, so he could be off quota now.

Last season it was 5, Widders and Isa leaving.

Overseas trained, so a French player would be overseas in eng and vice versa.

Leeds Webb, Delanney, Hauraki Leulai - 4 this down by 3 with Buderus, Ali and Cross departing. Next season that is likely to be two with Webb and Leulai leaving

As many as allowed by the rfl

McDonnell, Webster, Green, Dobson, Clinton, O'Hara, Withers, Paea, Galea, Mika, Lovegrove

11, we win

Withers, O'hara and love grove don't count

I thought i may as well put an end to the thread before it descends into what we all know it will descend into.
