Are you sure Wigan have been dominant for the last 10 years? Bradford were full of overseas players when they went to 5 grand finals in a row, Saints have always relied on overseas players, Leeds best player last night was a thirtysomething Australian hooker, a team full of English players would win nothing this year, the standard of the average English player is rather mediocre.

I think you're really stretching the definition of "rely". 3/ 4 players in a squad isnt relying really is it?

At least seven players in the 2000 squad were overseas

out of a squad of 25/30? its still the vast minority

Having a few overseas players isn't relying on them at all. You clearly don't understand the meaning of the word rely properly, I'm not gonna bother carrying on this debate with you.

Your right, the Saints board should be ashamed of themselves, fancy signing players from halfway round the world when we could of had a team of local lads who would be just as good.
