[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 595615, member: 43875"] Or you could say that the chiefs have so many outside players because Renee feels no loyalty to the Chiefs region players and unions and no interest in retaining local players to promote regional loyalty and keep preserve the local feel of the team. Im not saying he can't spot talent because he obviously can. But lets face it, For Foster the chiefs region was his selection pool. For Renee the whole of NZ is his selection pool. in 3-4 years chiefs teams have gone from All But 2-3 of the match day 22 being from the chiefs region to all but 5-6 players NOT being from the chiefs region. Everyone is different, bit I can honestly say I would rather support a chiefs side like the ones foster put together that represented the region and maybe they make the finals every couple years. than support the chiefs as they are now that win it back to back but only 4-5 players are actually from the region. Its still good to see the chiefs win the ***les but I used to go to 3-5 chiefs games a year. I've been to 1 chiefs game in the last 2 years - find myself supporting the blues more even though the chiefs are winning all the time. Always said I really didn't want to see NZ's super rugby teams become like EPL teams. [/QUOTE]
