Only riders who could sensibly fill the position need to be NL heatleaders at a minimum. Best bet is someone like Rob Shuttleworth. Blacklock might be worth a go if he can get a NL place or Jack Thomas/Connor Coles otherwise it looks like a very well built side could become unstuck.

hence, why I put "unless reserve swaps or t/sub"

Heat 2 guaranteed if there & ready

Heat 4 protected unless of  injury

Heat 8 protected of t/sub but not reserve swap

True but heat 8 will still involve a switch (happens at almost every meeting now). There is so much pressure on heat 2 at the best placed reserve not only gets the early additional points but also the ride in heat 8. The other reserve is often left downhearted and knowing they will only get 2 more rides that night before the meeting has barely begun.

@ workington last season , we would have been better off having the number 6 pit box empty and turning it into a take away cafe .

Only the "Secret Society" will know the rules as they will not be available to the public & probable changes and/or additions will be made through out the season to suit. :angry: :shock:

His average is around 3and a half to 4 so  he will not be able to be fitted in your side unless they drop someone to compensate for it
