stevebrum 6,824 Posted June 9, 2016 Steve, given that they currently have five Britons in the side (of varying ages, admittedly), that's perhaps a path down which you should not stroll. Fair point, then the first sentence is valid then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SCB 0 Posted June 9, 2016 Au contraire, the young Briton Bates elevated out of the reserve berths points to the system's success! Actually I'd say it points to the massive flaw in the system. Bates is still reserve standard, isn't really as good as Woryna but because he had more easier ride he has ended up in the 1-5 before Woryna got a new average. Had Bates moved up using the PL/old format then it would have earned it but this is just because the system is crap. In fact I don't think Bates has actually riden a meeting in the 1-5 due to World Under 21s and injury! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
