The balance is to ensure that there is a decent crop of players who have match experience for NT selection. This needs to be balanced out as well.
I'm a fan of the 3 U23 players in the squad as well.
Its a pro league. Its not a developmental one.Fans are leaving in droves because the product is not good enough as it is. Having more mediocre locals will not improve the league.
More mediocre internationals wont help either
Historically the best players the league have been internationals....most good local players head overseas after a good season or two in the league
Also other domestic leagues in our region are carried by foreign players CSL, UAE etc all have big name international players who are head and shoulders better then you average player at that level.
I would scrap the limits on foreign players and salary cap make the league good enough to compete on a globe stage
