Panthers99 434 Posted February 16, 2021 I take it all back! Welcome Jordan Palin to the showground. Be a chance to ride with your dads heroes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gasser90 229 Posted February 16, 2021 He’s only a 1 star rated rider ? I would have thought the 6 prem clubs would have gone for the 3 star riders at least, I hope he goes well for us but I can’t see him beating Tom bacon or Tom Brennan or drew kemp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fortythirtyeight 841 Posted February 16, 2021 So the club can’t ( or didn’t want to ?) use its own asset ? The running of this sport gets stranger and stranger. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bacon might make a reserve in the top division but otherwise can he really improve..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gasser90 229 Posted February 16, 2021 I just don’t really get the whole star system, if you build a team to a certain average and then choose a rider from a list that doesn’t affect the team building average why not just choose the 4 star riders ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I get that, it doesn't make much sense to me. Should have just been 4,3,2 and 1 on the averages. Bates and Brennan will be the best by far, then Bacon, Kemp, and Pailin/Kinsley afterwards.
