What you are referring to here is a different suggestion alltogether. It is more to do the assimilation of foreign players to be local players rather than the fact they were local players to begin with.
I am not wanting then to be assimiliated or be treated like one of your draft picks but after being there for so long there should be a 4th category of bonus for "long term players". Remember the glory days of the Melbourne Tigers with Gaze, Bradtke and Copeland? Copeland was just as loved as the other two because he stuck around so long and was such an exciting player.
Vallo Tammella: This player has been on your team for 821 days. He has also won four championships with me.
Kallen Matakorama - This player has been on your team for 29 days. A random scrub to fill minutes.
Yet my fans under the current system will be buying more Kallen T-Shorts? Madness!
