London Broncos have exactly the same overseas allowance as teams like Wigan, Hull and Leeds.
Crusaders had pretty much unlimited overseas players.
Catalans are allowed to play as many as they want, though choose to have half a team of French.
Gateshead Thunder had unlimited overseas players.
How are we a Heartlands club? We should be the same as Catalans.

I agree.
However without a substantial London weighting we are never going to attract players as good as the Northern clubs - who themselves are struggling to bring any decent players over now because of the bigger income in oz now and the stronger $aus.
If all we can get is young aus players who are just young reservist on small money we will continue so ship tries as we are now with these young London players who cant defend because their bodies arent fully developed yet.
