You knew exactly what he meant (of which there are more overseas players than he stated).
Anyway, my understanding (of last) was that it was 5 overseas players. Clubs have been given dispensation due to various factors such as residency and the Crusaders situation.
Mellars is exempt. Tony has played once this year, can't see him being here next season. So there's only John, Lauititi and Aiton who are overseas. Lauititi is more English than Chase.

What about Smith, Southern and Collis? They're all still technically overseas players, though, Dan regardless of exemptions.

Yeah they are, there's no denying the fact that all three are Aussie's who take up quota spaces. But that's normal behaviour for all Super League clubs. Warrington have Hodgson, J Monaghan, M Monaghan, etc.
6 from a squad off 33. Ok it could be better, but I'm sure there are statistically worse clubs. Personally I would set a limit of three o/s players per club, and that means if you weren't born and bread you were an o/s player. It's good to see colourful o/s players coming and adding something to SL but there is way too much beige, and when you consider that most clubs have more o/s players than the entire NRL has British players, you can see why we are so far behind!!
There's no place for being pedantic. You knew exactly what he meant (of which there are more overseas players than he stated).
Not being pedantic, just pointing out facts And exactly what he meant was "just been lookign at wakie website more then 6 aussies" now I cannot see any ambiguity in that statement, only a total miss-reporting of the facts
