It was used for one season and discarded like many good things, including the draft system. 

Im not sure it didn’t work correctly tho. 

I agree with you on the draft system but have to disagree on grading

Two things were wrong with the draft system.

Firstly, some clubs had protected assets.

Secondly, the reserves did not get averages and go into the 1-5.

Consequently, some teams derived an unfair advantage.

Musielak isn't likely to improve his average as he won't be racing in the UK this season 

 

How do you know? Where has your info come from?

It was similar to the Polish reserve system where they stay in reserve all season long. Obviously a similar situation because some teams have much better juniors than others. Bringing on assets should be rewarded not penalised imho.

From memory, the only two draft reserves who had a 5 point lower league average in 2013 were Garrity and Newman.

The rest were considerably worse.

If they had all had their averages halved and had them count towards team building it would have been fairer.

Poole queue jumped to get Newman by saying he was their asset, despite him having never ridden for them.

Quite what they had done to “bring on” his career beforehand I do not know. Maybe a few second halves?

No argument from me regards Newman. Completely used by Poole and dropped several times and did very little to bring on his career.

However not many top flight teams promote and push the career of their British assets.

Well why say people are signing when you don't have a single clue who is and who isn't???? Are you trying to make yourself look like Billy Big balls if you happen to guess one right.   Eccles cakes
