I was wondering if anyone knew what the plan was with Bates now? The statement says they'll support him, but doesn't mention if they're now building the team with him in it or a team assuming his services won't be available. Its very quiet at Beaumont Leys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robbobee 144 Posted December 21, 2017 It's all gone very quiet on the Leicester Lions front team-wise for next season ? Anybody any news snippets? Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Observer 55 Posted December 23, 2017 Happy with the latest signing, should be a strong No 7, just needs to get his starts sorted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will be interesting to see Didnt ride in the Prem in 2017 so going by Woryna ( and also Morley and Zach W at Lakeside in Champ) it should be his 2016 Prem figure and not a conversion or reassessment....

And to add to the confusion Clegg apparently is a 2.00 from his 4 matches for wolves, which is neither his championship average or his starting 2017 average (given he didn't ride enough for a new average - he is given one anyway). Seems they make averages stick to whoever asks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teromaafan 573 Posted December 23, 2017 So Sarjeant's average for Premiership (superior league) team building is 3.81 yet his Championship (inferior league) final average from last season was 3.33, how can this be right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he has an established top flight average then that's the one that counts. Unless the BSPA apply a rule to suit him like they have with Clegg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barrow Boy 2 172 Posted December 23, 2017 If his 2017 Div 2 average is 3.33 then I think it would be fair to give him the converted Div 1 equivalent of 2.56. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Panthers89 1,922 Posted December 23, 2017 If he is on a 2.00 odd average, very shrewd signing IMO, anything like 3.81, big gamble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoldenGauntlet 45 Posted December 23, 2017 Surprised to see James back. I would have thought he needed to establish himself more in the second tier before being ready for the Championship, but if he's riding in the Lions colours, best of luck to him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
