Perhaps some posters do not share your views. You may wish to insult posters who think 10 / 11 overseas players is pathetic, or that the 11th player chasing around to be 'macedonian' / 'serbian' is ridicuous, so be it.

For people who have some knowledge of RL taking on 7 international academy lads would be seen as stretching credulity. 7 from a club looks ...questionable.

As a follower of Wakefield yes iam not happy at the amount of imports we have next season. But this is not just a Wakefield thing. All clubs in SL show similar symptoms tbh and it needs to be sorted. For example i couldnt understand why Ainscough of Wigan was dropped after a very good start of the season for a second rate Aussie in Phelps. Would never happen in the NRL. I feel the quality in SL has been slipping for a few years now (from an already average standard to begin with). Dont just wave the sick at Wakefield just because you dont particularly like us because it does come across as being a little petty.

Which other teams that have been in SL 10 continuous years still have 10/11 overseas players?

(when the Giants played Wigan they targeted Ainscough and got 2 tries + Phelps has done every good job at fb for Wigan)

Anyway Marsden wasnt it Wakefield who gave second chances to English players such as Moore, Blaymire, Golden, Fox, Bibey and Wilkes when certain posters on here ridiculed the signings? 4 of these are now SL regulars and 1 now plays for England. We gave these lads a shot when they seemed to be on the scrap heap. All teams seem to be trying get around the quota rules not just us.

Doubt he was ready. The point is that Wakey rely on quick fix overseas players more than most. Chasing around after a mecedonian passport when you already have 10 uch players is pathetic.

Many clubs have given players 'second chances' you are not alone there. Which clubs in SL for 10 years have been more active than wakey in signing nonfed trained players?

Yes,youre right,were bl00dy good at it.

We arent breaking any rules.

And isnt it quite ironic that it was the RFL that suggested Stosic play for Serbia,to get round the rules.

So please dont pity us.

I do not pity you. The need for 10/11 such players is pathetic. That you take 'pleasure' in it is no surprise.

thats fine, and true, but surely the worst offenders should take the most blame

I thought he was Macedonian?

you may not be breaking any rules, but searching for ways to avoid giving british youth a chance is shameful any way you look at it

He is /or his grandad or something,but the RFL suggested Serbia.Something to do with the old Yugoslavia.

ive already commented that i think Wakey have too many overseas players.

My point is,how keen and eager are the RFL to cut down on players from overseas when they suggest ways around the rules.

Wakey have far too many,the game has far too many,but as soon as the game tried to cut down the amount,clubs went looking for ways around it and asking for exemptions,players threatening legal action etc.........

Would love to see the day when clubs only have max 2/3 top class overseas players.

Unfortunately doubt i will live to see it!!!
