RIP Workington Comets.

Get ready for a rider merry-go-round and big edits being needed to the team line-ups.

Re Big Al, 

Some NL riders coming up full time or for full season will be a big asset and could easily double (or better) their averages, Drew Kemp / Tom Brennan / Leon Flint would in my opinion all be capable of an average in excess of 6 in the Championship by the end of the season.

There are the likes of Connor Mountain, Georgie Wood; James Shanes who will need to "kick on" with them having some more CL experience than the out and out newcomers.

It has to be great for the sport to see so many moving up and gaining experience, the cream will rise to the top, the remainder will either find a level and become solid performers, a few will find it too much (either too soon or for now).

Very interesting season ahead.

Those three young lads you mentioned are really promising but to average over 6 in there first full season at that level is a big ask.I dont see Flint doing it if he can average 4 that would be a great season.Yes the other two in my opinion are the two i believe can really kick on and have a good career.This league is still a tough one, different challenges for the younger lads the good thing is most clubs have riders at the bottom end all trying to prove this is there level.A  few will fall away and struggle but some will relish the challenge but good luck to all of them.

What are the riders that you feel can make this there level.? For me Kemp/Brennan are future Prem riders they will do well but the two that interest me are Rowe/ Atkins at Somerset Anders being a Swindon asset i hope he kicks on and will be a future Robin.Shanes and Mountain will improve and Danyon Hume if he stays injury free will eventually get his chance again.

Does anyone have a list with all the teams and riders averages?  Was sure the front page did at some point.

funny thing with this announcement there was something about kyle and it said he was Glasgow rider over a week before official statement 

id guess he was Glasgow rider within 48 hours of Workington going under

At the end of the day, both Glasgow and Newcastle have taken advantage of new riders becoming available to strengthen their sides.  Nothing wrong with that.
