No. I'm pretty sure you've already done this before this weekend? So has someone else, possibly Wigan or the Dire. Might even have been Quins.... Hmmmm.

Bearing in mind that the Wakefield side will be well stacked with young English lads the game will probably have the least number of imports on the field in any Super League game. Wakefield will probably only have Korki and Hickey in the 17. If those two are on the bench at the same time we'll have a full 26 GBs.

For what it is worth the Leigh RL 1982 league winning squad did not contain a single overseas player - as far as I know this hasn't happened since!

Anyway back on topic - well done Hudds. I think there are some top young British players coming through there -I am a huge fan of Cudjoe and am disappointed he isn't playing tonight.

Don't think it was us

In your 19 you have Korki, Hickey, Smith, Morrison,Tony and Henderson all non Fed trained. so atleast 4 will feature, still not bad.

leeds rhinos have early days of super league if i remember


but in these days of super league its brilliant stuff from giants

Quins certainly had 16 of 17, Luke Dorn was the other.

Wire had a game earlier in the season where Solomona was the only overseas player.

Fantastic. Great example of how to build a squad.

We'll see.

What happened to Joel Monaghan and Michael, Matt King, Brett Hodgson, Anderson? The first 4 IMO are 4 of your 6 best players so I couldnt imagine them not playing.

Amazing.

Monaghans and Hodgson rested.

King injured.

Can't remember about Anderson - injured I think.

it would be more impressive if the giants overseas contingent was missing because they were not as good as there english counterparts, rather than tired from playing for another team

Nice to see It is a shame that It will probably go un noticed by the wider public. it would be great if they could gain a bounus above the cap for doing it.

Excellent!!!!

It's a shame it will be only for one game, but from little acorns....................

Well done the Giants.

a few weeks ago we had a game where only 1 of the 17 wasnt british

Leeds definetly did it around 2000/2001 mark away at Warrington.

IF someone can dig out the teamsheet for that game, you get the prize

Not quite all british then

All injured or rested, I think it may have been the game at Wakefield.

All british bar Solomona on the bench at Wakey

It wasn't in 2000 either. I've still got the Video for that, Leeds had several overseas players, David Barnhill was one of them.
