No difference between the two really.... Ben has had lots of chances at CL and never progressed. Its not a loss 

Agree entirely. Been around for ten plus years and still cant average 4 in the CL. Another Barrie Evans / Lee Herne / Martin Williams type rider.

somebody mentioned Tom Brennan on Twitter not having an NDL place, would be handy for him to ride for IOW and average may fit?

Isn't he on a 6+ average in the CL? Rules him out of NL?

I actually think Ledwith is capable of scoring more points away than Ben.

2019 away aves, Ledwith 5.26/5.68 whereas Morley 8.98/9.46, so can't agree with you on that!

Exactly. To add to that Ben has ridden Championship away tracks fairly regularly for the last couple of years whereas Ledwith hasn’t at all for 20 years.

Most of the time Ben has been at number 2 in the championship not at reserve and was getting good points at most track.

If common sense prevailed tom would be allowed to ride nl, i think it was his first match with the new cma moving from reserve when he had his awful crash. Its bad enough him having to ride in championship on 6+ with zero chance of his average settling down over a prolonged period

You are talking about a different league though aren't you?  Morley ( who i like has not got a champs spot like Hume who is a  better rider than Ben the sport is all about figures averages fitting.

How the hell Hume has not got a premier league ride next season is beyond me a class bloke on the bike and a class act off it also.ridiculous in my opinion.

I don’t think Morley will ever get any better but would have been a better option than Ledwith at Kent, who I assume has been signed at a sponsors request.

I think you may be right Bagpus i can not think of any other reason for signing Ledwith....  And for Pinnys information,, Morley had a plus 5 average when at Lakeside and last season had to ride at no 2 at Eastbourne ,not reserve , and not one of his best tracks....
