Initial rumours was NDL reserve/second string level, the few proposed squads i saw from last year were NDL reserve / MDL level. I certainly think Perry is likely to be included but not sure Gilkes will take any part due to both ability level and costs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely the likes of Gilkes, Thompsons, Hume, Mulford will be used, as I assume they will be 'paid' to attend as No.8 anyway? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Certainly interesting discussion(s) will be taking place. It might be that the opportunity itself plus bit of team wear will be enough for some riders to turn up, others may want a bit of fuel money to stand there but at any level bikes aren't cheap to run and compensating the PJL riders is going to add onto the PL clubs bills. It hasn't been properly mapped out anywhere is the number 8's will always be in attendance anyway... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scoobydoo 2,254 Posted February 3, 2022 (edited) Makes sence to have the number 8s ride in the PJL if they have to attend anyway Edited February 4, 2022 by scoobydoo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even running bikes at a sub par level is still costly and they won't be turning out for nothing. Have there been any rules/regs for the PJL team building listed anywhere?

Maybe somewhere in someone head it has been listed , when i initially said expect im guessing like others are at the moment Believe an Ipswich fan posted on another thread that Chris Louis wants his #8 to be in attendance at the meetings Edited February 4, 2022 by scoobydoo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foreverblue 6,096 Posted February 8, 2022 Be interesting to see where this team finishes, my thoughts are a top two finish with Sheffield the main threat unless Belle Vue pull off a couple of shocks. Peterborough fans are going to love Basso with his never give up attitude and he will be at reserve which is a big plus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
