Any clues from Oxford fans as to who might be in the NDL team?

Also wouldn't they be better with a different nickname?  Leicester already have Cubs.   Do we have to double up on nicknames in a league of just 8 teams?

A name in keeping with the area along the lines of Students or Mini's?

Maybe the "Dons" for the Uni Professors Or The "Blues" as the Uni boatrace team are called

Great minds think alike.   

Oxford Cheetahs and Oxford Chargers.   I quite like that.   Much better than every feline nicknamed club calling their junior side "Cubs".

Welcome back Ben Hopwood! It feels like ages ago he rude but it was only 2018. 

A strong top 3 of Hopwood, Jenkins & Stoneman. Good luck to Stoneman who deserves a decent run after several nasty injuries. Hagon will continue to improve. But it could be a very long tail. 

Has anyone seem confirmation of Hopwood or Stoneman’s averages because they must be getting reductions to be within the points limit?

More shock comebacks in the team but Stoneman and Jenkins is a powerful top 2 and strong middle order with Hopwood and Hagon. Clouting will benefit from a change of track. Will run the numbers un a minute and see how close or far out it actually is?

So the latest i can find are

Jenkins 9.56

Hagon 5.75

Clouting 4.30

Stoneman 8.22 (2019)

Hopwood 7.16 (2018)

Total 34.99

So looks like just needs a point reduction on Hopwood and a pair of 3 pointers will fit?

I've got the same figures as you.  With a couple of 3.00, they'd be at 40.99.   So over the limit.

Averages are reduced by 8% if a rider has missed a full year due to injury.   Stoneman missed 2021 and Hopwood missed 2019 and 2021.  Not sure if either or both riders were missing due to injury, but if we give them the benefit of the doubt and say they were both injured and couldn't ride, and give them both 8% reduction, then Stoneman becomes 7.56 and Hopwood 6.59, and it would fit.

If memory serves the Hopwood did get injured in 2018 but can't remember what and if it forced him out of 2019 or he sat out, Stoneman rode the early meetings on the IOW before hurting himself so would think he doesn't qualify? 

Either way its great they are both back Nathan is great entertainment to watch and if Hopwood is on a 6ish average and got fit whilst away he could add to that most weeks.
