Nick Morris confirmed as number one. Not exactly a big surprise.

 

Rosco also making it clear it was a team-building decision because of the lower average. No mention of finances.

 

It also looks like the original plan was to go with both.

A supposed friend of Nick told me & hes usually 90% right.

 

Like you say madness to let Jason go before signing Nick but he will be after a better deal if they havent.

 

Says how ridiculous that a rider is No 1 in both leagues.

Your friend was quite a way wide of the mark this time CR.....might have had us concerned for no reason there :)

 

Great to see Nick back, hopefully he can continue where he left off 2017.

Can’t see Doyle returning to us. He didn’t like it when he was left out in 2013 and spent the following years at Birmingham and Leicester. Rosco has made a mistake not retaining him. Morris would have been more understanding about having to go elsewhere for a season. Bad man management Rosco!

Both Swindon and Poole go with a number one just above the 8 point mark. It will be interesting how both teams fill their remaining berths to give strength in depth.

Same team as last year with Palm-Toft in for Doyley meaning Adam starts at reserve.

 

You heard it here first😉😉

BWD and Zack both have lower averages than Adam, so would be at reserve.

 

Don't know what Palm-Toft would be on, but would have to be less than 5.45, which is also lower than Adam.

Palm-Toft is 5.57.....don't think there's enough room for him if the other 6 come back. I think there would be 5.53 for the last spot if they were going down this route. Not too many options other than Paul Starke.

 

Either this or pack the top 5 out and go weaker at reserve.

Reductions for the 2 Brits & maybe the reserves will be as you say but pretty confident on the team.

Reduction for Zach (3.13), not for Adam as I'm led to believe. So it won't fit

Why would Zach get a reduction? Isn’t it just for two years and he has had those with Somerset and Swindon?

Does BWD qualify for a discount by virtue of riding for Eastbourne in 2015?

Last year the rule was three seasons.

 

 

16.2.3 c) A rider who has participated in the NDL will receive a 2.5% reduction on their MA after attaining an established SGB Premiership or Championship League MA, for the next 3 Seasons taking regard of any season where the Rider did not appear in a SGB Premiership or Championship League Team Declaration.
