Ben91 1,743 Posted September 8, 2017 KK, Bomber and Scotty I would hope are bankers. Ricky was a solid second string and deserves a spot. Ellis Perks needs to be bought back at reserve and I'd have Jye Etheridge at reserve. Leaving just one to fill once the limit is known. Etheridge, seriously?

STEVEHOLS54 380 Posted September 8, 2017 Would make the guess the team game for 2018 so much better if all knew the limit was going to be say 45 points rather than say 42/43. Supposed we all have to await the BSPA meting in Nov even though the promoters probably already know what the draft limit proposal will be already. I hope it is 45 points with a min of 2 Brits per team. Opens up more options for all teams who can go for more strength in depth thru the 1 to 7 without having to always have a 2/3 pointer to balance the 42 points. I still believe with the Prem/Champ/National leagues we have the structure in place to bring along young riders. For me riders such as Parkinson Blackburn and Jack Smith need to graduate through the leagues. Not all can be like Dan Bewley. JPB and JS were ripping up the tracks in NL last year but both have to a degree struggled in Champ and JS have struggled even more in PL. The Poles have a good system with each rider having to track 2 Polish riders 21 or under as Juniors per team (irrespective of how good/bad their av are). The Swedes with their min 2 Swedish riders per team. Again av do not come into it. I think the min 2 Brit per team is good and up to Promoters to decide how many Brits they want per team over the 2 minimum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
