This only solidifies my view that cardiff started the arms race and the bottom teams can no longer keep up.
This clearly seems to try and limit the strength and depth of top teams.

Less imports >>less quality >> even lower attendances Wow Steelers might actually have to give U23s regular roster spots.😂 |

Or the money you save from one less import slot goes towards buying better quality imports for the allowed slots. It’s one fewer import slot anyway it’s hardly a seismic shift. It wouldn’t surprise me if the cause of this was steelers stockpiling talented u23 brits like Brown/Graham/Griffin and never giving them any ice time

Well if you’re so convinced you’re on a sinking ship why don’t you bail out and watch the rugby or cricket instead. Because going through your endless negative drivel about any subject that gets raised is just tiresome and boring |

Alright, let's stick to the topic please.
I'm surprised about the drop in import numbers, purely from a decent Brit POV. Makes our haemorrhaging of Brits look even worse, although useful they've increased the u23 to u25, as Ollie was about to go up to senior.

Main thing what's been missed is teams are only allowed to make 18 import signings across the off season and regular season. So Doucet or whoever is in charge of recruitment must get it right and not cockerel it up like this year and ask potential signings they dont intend to retire mid season!
19 if one of the changes is a goalie

Rumours about Manchester already? As much people dont like the idea of cutting imports the reality is it has to happen. I called this a few years ago when the cash started getting thrown around. You will push teams out and the league will collapse. Thats why unlike some posters on here i dont want Panthers to 'buy' the league just because we can. |

I wouldn't be surprised if they later announce a reclassification of Brits in line with the NIHL (eligible for GB = Brit). You can then add Mosey, Hammond, the Erhardts, Billingsley, and more as Non-imports.

Panthers won’t buy the league in a million years. They are just desperate to keep Manchester and a couple of others in the league. |

The import limit is about 50% too high.
What on earth do these has beens/never will bes/journeymen add to our game?

I think this has been done to reduce the chances of the lower budget teams leaving the league.
Personally I would rather a 10 team league with a few less imports than a full import 5 or 6 team league.
