Judging by your board it's Ennis next!

You might want to read that again - I used capitals to help

I heard Wigan have signed a deal with the immigration department to deal with all border issues relating to Australasia. As 95% of all those from that continent that arrive in the UK do so on a Wigan RLFC contract, they decided it would be more effcient.

Hansen can play for England as he has already played for England academy.

I was playing against Hansen when he was at Folly Lane in Swinton aged 9 and 10.

I know that, but he's a full NZ international and won't be turning out for England.

But we can take him out if you like, just 7 left.

So that's your 6 to our 7.

Wow, you're so much more British than us.

Well if you're removing Hansen on the basis he was born in Auckland and plays for NZ, I think we can safely take off Maurie who has actually played for England



So that's 8 plays 5 for you this season. You have 60% more foreigners than us if you like percentages.

Next season - who knows - Wigan haven't shipped out all the players their fans are saying are leaving yet. I know Saints have signed Perry and that Gidley and Maurie minimum are leaving. I'm sure we'll be a few better off than Wigan next year too.

So yes, we are so much more British than you.

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.

. . says the man who compares Wigan's 2011 team (minus a NZ international born in Auckland) to Saints' 2010 team (before departures and including an England international) to make it look better

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!

Oh come on they have signed ONE englishman so they are clearly leading the way for English Rugby League and we are damaging it by bring overseas players despite a few of them leaving...

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.

Teams need to have experienced players like these.

We've got a core group of young (British) players in Adamson, Sidlow, Smith, Boyle, Jewitt, Gibson, Ratchford and Broughton.

With Alker and Leuluai gone and possibly other senior players to follow, they're solid signings that will improve us.

Very good signings for Salford.

No change there.....
