You can add Rhys Lovegrove to that list of imports., 10 is a disgrace no matter who you support.

i thought with the franshise system we were meant to reduce the amount of overseas players yet teams such as rovers have increased the amount which is shocking. so rovers could and most propably will have 10 overseas players in there starting 17 and people wonder why we dont produce enough players to compete at international level

I have a funny feeling there'll be more imports in sl next season than this.

Think you may be right.

Be interesting to see the difference between the total amount of overseas players in SL in say 2006 when the 'new' rules came in and the total in 2010. Bet there's not that much difference, even though theoretically they should have halved.

The number of imports will drop dramatically at some point, probably 2013.

I think it's 2013 that the salary cap in the NRL is increased, meaning Superleague will be a less attractive prospect. Also by this point, a number of the overseas players currently exempt, who signed before 2008, will have retired.

totally agree..everyone likes to see skillfull overseas players.but when we start getting into rule bending and residency nonsense it makes a mockery of the whole game .plus the damage it does to the development of young players.if we have quota rules there should be no way around them.

Who are you guys mostly blaming, the clubs or the RFL?

Probably a combination of both.

Some clubs don't have the will and the RFL don't have the balls to back their own rules in the medium and longer term.

both..

The RFL are to blame for me.

That will stop your Dallas Johnsons coming over but not yourolder busted players and instead of average players who are struggling to get a good deal they'll be nsw cup players, with everybody looking for the next lovegrove (as bizarre as it seems)

They would be

But apparently taking advantage of the lack of policing is ok too?
