Why? Was it him who nicked the grand's worth of floodlight cable and stuck it on Ebay?

KR after Keith Senior..............has he applied for an Aussie passport or something?

Shocking amount of average overseas players signed by them and Wakey for next year.

Now we signed 2 that aren't exactly Sam Thaiday and Greg Inglis but 5, 6, 7 overseas signings isn't good for those clubs or the game.

We can't call anyone, we have eight. Our Overseas recruitment has increased by one on 2011 season which is very disappointing as I thought we had a couple too many back then.

Carmont
Finch
Lima
Gelling
Leuluai
Roberts
Richards
Lauaki

No doubt someone will point out its actually nine overseas born players in our squad (Hansen).

I also think we have a few too many all though you would think alot of them will be replaced by Wiganers within the next year or so.

Finch - Mellor
Richards - King
Leuluai - Powell/L.Tomkins
Roberts - Already replaced by Charnley

Carmont is also leaving but I'd like to see us replace him with an Aussie centre (or Jack Reed.) there just simply isnt any British ones out there. I think we will really struggle once he goes, look how we're struggling with Gleeson gone. Hes not even been gone 12 months and there has already been Joel/Goulding/Marsh/Gelling in the frame.

Totally agree and it was part of the reason I wouldn't have signed Lauaki but hopefully he will prove me wrong.

In fairness to us though I think we can at least claim the majority of those lads are top class and they add some value to the comp. Guys like Richards, Carmont, Leuluai and Lima are top draw players and haven't been plucked from the second tier Aussie competions.

It's something that at least we're looking to improve on though and i'm not sure the same can be said for HKR and Wakey. They've increased their overseas player numbers by far more then 1.

Yeah, but just wait until Eddie and Stevo get hold of those figures. They'll be seriously disappointed in us, and will at the same time forget to mention just how much home-grown talent we have in our first team squad.
