Does Canberra's importing of four Poms give them unfair advantage?

Back on topic . . . .
Supreme executive power comes from a mandate from the masses, not from some watery tart.

You didn't get that quite right, the quote actually is -

"Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony."
"Be quiet!"
"You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!"

Ahhh yeah, it's all coming back. As age wears us down, it comes back in snippets.
"Moistened bing?"
Lobbed a scimitar.
"Order, ay ? who does he think he is ?
I'm 37.
Now we see the violence inherent in the system.
"I'm being oppressed"
Bloody peasant.

It's 'moistened bint', but close enough.

The question mark was a desperate plea for forgiveness.
Believe me mate . . . that's not the only quote/lyric I've messed up over the years !

From what I’ve seen on these tests v NZ, Bateman sucks.
Gave a good offload in the first test, every other time I’ve noticed him, he has dropped the ball or got beaten in defence.

There are only a few clubs which have the luxury of adding quality Poms to their squad for 2019.

The Sydney Roosters are adding international winger Ryan Hall from Leeds.

St. George-Illawarra already has two in internationals in prop James Graham and five eighth Gareth Widdop.

South Sydney already has the three international Pom forwards in the form of the Burgess brothers.

Now Canberra, which already has international Poms in hooker Josh Hodgson and second rower Elliot Whitehead, has added two more in the form of international second rower John Bateman and rookie prop Ryan Sutton. That makes four Poms in one team. All of them are forwards.

The Poms are very rugged players and the forwards don't take a step backwards in defence. Does four Poms in one team not amount to unfair advantage?

Stick is the unfair advantage. Cloae thread...

 

[Pedge1971]

Nearly half the Canberra pack will be Pommy in 2019. That will create a solidarity of countrymen that no other club can emulate.

I expect Canberra to be in the mix for 8th spot by regular season's end.

Except Souffs sperm gargler....

 

[Pedge1971]

I don’t think there’s enough focus put on the unfair disadvantage the warriors get from having so many kiwis in there team

Or Melbourne for having so many merkins.

 

[Lambretta]

That comment is unintelligible and probably meaningless. Knowing your postings I am not surprised.

Blasphemy..........
Oh shit, sorry, wrong film

 

[carcharias]

Would there even be 4 good pommy footy players?

I reckon there's around 4 sub-personalities in Albert Rosenfeld. Not many of them good.

I don’t know about 4, but apparently this bloke from Cass is the best prop in the world.

 

[taipan]

The Raiders will save on soap.That's gotta be a plus.

That is magnificent

Why couldn’t you make this stuff up?

 

[Lambretta]

Didn't you watch the England-New Zealand Test last night? The winning team was stuffed full of Super League players. You are a goose.

Finding 17 quality players has never been a problem for England or before that, Great Britain
Finding 2 quality halves was a bit of an issue, but they muddled through

The problem for England was always finding quality back ups in case they had injuries

Australia could field 3 or 4 sides using completely different players that could match England's best team
England couldn't field a second team that could come close to matching any of these

I love the Super League and watch it religiously. When in the UK I will go to games.

But even I have to admit that below the top few sides in the Super League, the quality of the rest is a massive drop from the NRL.

There are more than 4 mate

There are more than 4 good Poms playing in the NRL at the moment
