It's been said over and over by several people on this site not just me.

You put together the best XI that you can, if the NZ and Ausies that you sign are better than whatever foreigner you can afford then that's fine.

The foreigners need to augment the squad. If the best position for a foreigner is to sit on the bench and add impact later on in the game and you don't have quality local players that can play that role then that's a fine use of the spot.

Also, Finkler was signed as a starter.

I actually think it's a good thing if local players are good enough that they're keeping foreign players the calibre of Finkler out of the starting XI.

Your argument would make more sense if it wasn't a salary capped league, but it is. You sign the best players you can within the cap be they Foreigners or not. Some seasons teams don't even use their full allocation of foreigners.
