Which - checks calculator - means more than half of Wigan’s first team squad have seemingly come from other clubs.
All clubs target others’ players. If Warrington are vultures, RL must be a flock.
Add in quota players, those places are open to all clubs.
Who cares!!!
I just wanna see my team win.

Problem with that is you end up with a team full of non-Brits (journeymen), who have no real loyalty to a club, like football.
You need homegrown players to provide the true passion to play for their hometown club.

That can’t happen with an overseas quota.
It’s good to have homegrown players in the team but you can’t always produce them.
