Islander15

Joe is tripling up yet they’ve massively dumbed down the NL! He’s going to score maximums every week and learn nothing at this level. A class above the rest b

If I was a Leicester fan, I’d be hugely disappointed that Perry won’t be back. But here’s to hoping that someone else picks him up, and the other teams haven’t already effectively decided their line-ups, given a youngster as talented as Perry deserves to continue progressing in the NL without the pressure of the Championship.

Hotel booked for Manchester for the SON.

This season was won by myself. That makes it a 7th consecutive year for a different winner! Adz was very close and Hawks adds a bronze medal to his gold medal from 2 years ago. The winning team was Jenkins, J. Thompson, Pearson, Roynon, Killeen, James, Harrison.

Roynon predictably made a mockery of his artificial average. Despite usually being a popular pick, only 1 person went with Atkins for his breakthrough season. Pijper & King were the most common picks of riders who dropped their average.

Congratulations Scunny on a well deserved silverware.

It’s all a bit strange timing. By saying with the play-offs approaching that suggest Lemon thinks they’ll make the play-offs but unless there’s a major collapse by Oxford or Leicester it’s going to be those 2! Belle Vue have to beat Leicester at home and claim the aggregate BP, be unbeaten at home and win once maybe twice away.

Bowtell to outscore Boxall could swing this Poole’s way.

Any SWC video links would be appreciated.

Unless Garrad has been signed as a 28 day injury replacement for Dugard? Whilst they don’t want to remove Killeen from their team incase he’s fit for the play-off final.

Zach Cook isn’t a bad choice but tbh I was expecting Jorgensen.

Surely this move actually makes sense? It’s only short term for the end (I can’t believe I’m saying end at the beginning of July) of the season. Berwick have 4 meetings then and by replacing an injured rider with R/R taken by 3 riders with a proven heat leader it gives them the bottom team in the league a bit more respectability and a chance to win in their final 2 home meetings. However if Boxall does hit the ground running, what’s the odds that he sneakily misses the final away meeting to not get a new average

Leicester started with 6 riders and tbf it’s not the club’s fault that Boughen left.

Interesting because a lower points limit was put in following that infamous Scunthorpe side. Admittedly I haven’t checked this year’s regulations but the limit was about 32.00 whereas even taking out Boughen’s average, Leicester’s side was still over 39 on effective averages and over 36 on starting averages. Not exactly embarrassingly under strength especially when they only lost by 11 away to some people’s title favourites!

It’s now showing as Booth. Unless Leicester’s intention is/was to sign Douglas as an injury replacement for Foord. This should be a comfortable away win. Clegg & Roynon will do very well but the Thompson twins are an admirable match. However James and Cubs’ second strings should have a field day against the Academy’s bottom end.

But with only 2 teams making the play-offs, they could be adrift by then.

Seems like Scunny have thrown away their season with these 2 new signings.

How long is Harrison expected to be out for?

1. Jordan Jenkins 9.47 2. Luke Killeen 3.00 3. Adam Roynon 6.00 4. James Pearson 8.00 5. Joe Thompson 9.11 6. Max James 3.00 7. Luke Harrison 3.00 Total: 41.58

It’s back! I wanted to wait until April and all teams had announced their riders. So build a team upto 40.00 points and the highest end of the season average wins! Only 2 riders from each club are allowed in your team. Averages can be found on the 2022 teams thread or BSPL site. Can everyone who has posted their team on the old thread, please post on this new one. Previous results were: 2021: 1st Hawks1975, 2nd Islander15 & 3rd Iron Scorpion 2019: 1st Iand, 2nd Flipper11 & 3rd DJC. 2018: 1st Hunters, 2nd SKJ & 3rd CUFC_Brummie.  2017: 1st Eagles69, 2nd Islander15 & 3rd SKJ. 2016: 1st Halifax Tiger, 2nd John Leslie, 3rd Turn Two.

Absolutely! I’ll set up the thread shortly now all the teams have finally been completed.

Where has that been evidenced?

He’s eligible for this league so it’s fine him being in it. He’s a high quality rider and he has a high average that reflects that, but that must be used. Not a middle order average. The issue is he should’ve been competing for a team place against the likes of Jenkins, Edwards, Bickley, the Thompsons, Stoneman, Shanes etc and not against Spooner, Perry, Hagon, Scott, Trigger, Kingston, Warren etc.

Exactly and there must be consistency within the application of the rules, to uphold the integrity of the sport.

1. The 6.00 wasn’t assessed, it was his Championship average doubled which is how you equate an average when a rider is dropping down. 2. He did do enough meetings last season! He did 4 meetings which is all that is needed to get a new average. 3. Like I said previously, if for some reason they’re ignoring last season, then he should drop down on his current Championship average doubled.

Brits do not get a reduction in the NL. Prior to this season they were all British. Similarly you don’t take a British reduction off the Championship average before doubling, you just double it.
