So now ou're basing a players nationalty of who they decide to play international Rugby League for instead of using common sense.

Talk about tweaking facts and scraping the barrell about trying to get one over Wigan, it's pathetic.

Oh well, who cares! I'm not obsessed with/scared of Saints overseas signing policy.

Oh and Hansen is currently a Samoan international, NOT NEW ZEALAND!

You wont win anything without a healthy shot of Aussies and Kiwis in your side.

FACT.

It has always been that way.


And always will be.



Look how well Harlequins are going with their predominantly English squad.

What? No public outcry at Salford signing 3 foreigners? (Including Patten last week) If it was Wigan, Saddened would have exploded on his monitor by now and would be furiously typing away.

Indeed, 2 Antipodeans aged 32 and 30 by the time SL16 starts & Patten who will be 31. Just what we want from our top clubs.

He/She and others did do last week, repeatedly. I'm sure there's a perfectly good reason why Wigan signing three under 30 overseas players to replace three maybe four overseas players is a bad thing, while Salford's signing of Anderson, Patten and Nero is good for the game, economically sound and all the other things that Wigan's recent transfer dealings weren't.
