"SH Mercenaries are common place in the North East " - Kinda sounds like they come begging towards the money, but I guess it could also mean that the money comes to them.

Although by that comment I do hope that you'd be in agreement that it'd be fantastic to limit every club up there to one import from anywhere below the equator? After all, no-one likes a mercenary.

I would fully endorse this.
The GP would be f***ed though!

Signing quality I don't mind (Such as McAlistair, Spencer & JdV). However when teams sign utter garbage instead of promoting and supporting the youngsters (e.g. Robbie Kempson, Vaughn Going), it's laziness from the clubs' development.

Mercenary? Makes it sound like he wasn't one f*** up away from causing a pitch invasion at Eden Park which would've resulted in him floating in a suitcase in the Hauraki Gulf.
