Each team were given a list!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paulco 7,072 Posted January 4, 2018 11 minutes ago, Dekker said: it would make sense when all teams are complete So much for the " we have to have doubling up as there's not enough riders " argument . 5.2 seems fair for an untried newcomer . If he flops then you move for someone else and if he's a bargain on that average then the club , whomever that is , deserves credit for doing their homework on him . 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
