No chance! You're living in a dream world! After they've thrown money at Dowd and Bowns (and Ferrara won't be cheap) they will be signing alot out of college just to balance the books so we still won't have the depth to win a championship!! No eihl team can afford 5 Brits such as these it's that simple It’s that simple indeed,here you go... Whistle,O’Connor, Phillips,Dowd,Phillips ! Plus Kirk,Brown,Shudra and Day. When did they win the league? And that 5 ain't as good as the five you told me.. for a start you included Bowns!

Not sure I’d have Shudra… Neither would i or Brown,I’m just quoting what Sheffield had a couple of years ago because Pidge reckoned nobody would have a Brit pack like that.

Only having 5 brits this season, in my opinion, means that the Brit packs as a whole will have less of an impact. Another key thing is that the makeup of each teams pack is different and there is a balance needed in recruitment.
In our case we’ve got Betteridge and Kelsall who will be bottom 6 forwards, in turn we don’t need to sign two bottom 6 imports.
In Sheffield’s case they have Dowd who is a top 6 forward, in turn they’ll need to sign an import to cover bottom 6 roles e.g. Martin Latal or Evan Mosey.
So, instead of comparing brits directly between teams, compare a role to a role, one teams 2nd line LW to another teams 2nd line LW for example.
As I say, with the Brit pack being so small I don’t think they’ll have as much of an impact, it’s better to compare complete line-ups and see (on paper) who looks stronger.

Absolutely, the year Panthers won the league it was (I think) ten imports and we had a Brit Pack of Weaver, Clarke, Myers, Lachowicz, Lee, Ward and Levers, plus a British backup nettie in Dan Green or occasionally Sam Gospel. Next season you could easily run with 5th/6th D and a 3rd line forward and fill up on imports.
