It doesn’t imply that at all in terms of getting the initial 25%. It simply say further declarations the 25% will no longer apply.    I’d like to see the rule that simply says, a rider won’t get a 25% reduction on his average following a graduation out of the rising star scheme, if they’ve previously had a 25% reduction in a previous season. 

I want Lawson as well. Only reason why I didn't include him is because he was name dropped for Northampton.

oi, im always right, just things change 😂

Not sure Rew is doing UK this season, and prefer to see Lawson in the rather then Tungate, wouldn't be surprised to see Ellis back unless he's lined up for Northampton if it actually happens.

Although @PhilTheAce is usually spot on, even he is not always right... why Feb 6th?

Berwick could have easily fitted him in but stuck with Smith
