Stein, Ifill, Hernandez and two other imports, that is starting to look like what the foriegn players roster should be - five top-quality players who could be starting every week and have the potential to all be game changers. Getting more excited about the season now.
Completely agreed. Though I guess we should wait until Ernie signs the remaining 2 imports - it could be Alessandro and Dexter Rosales.
I think Ernie has a decent history of signing foreigners - if not a little too hit and miss. But you get that all over the league - some players just come for a holiday.
At least with 2 spots, 1 can be a miss and we'll still have another
Not quite true - Ernie has had a pretty bad run with foreigners with the exception of 2 very good ones (Hernandez and Fred) and maybe Brebner.

Hardly names that set the league alight. In saying that, he's gotten the best out of Australian players (Archie, Allsopp, Kemp, Kruse, Celeski)
