Albert,Iro,Perilini,Fairleigh,Shiels,Tuilagi,Lyon,Gidley,Hooper,Talau,McVey,Britt, but as you say Saints have never relied on using overseas players.

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.
