All things being equal a team whose GSAs are based on 7 home and 3 away is likely to have a higher combined total than one with 3 home and 7 away. Over 20 matches that was far less of an issue. And the make up of the ten meetings is another factor. Some teams race lower table opponents twice in the final ten meetings, so potentially more points and a higher average. While Newcastle' s results have been expunged from the league table, the points riders scored against them remain in the books and in some cases will feature in a teams last ten meetings used for GSA calculation, certainly for Leicester, possibly others too. Ten meetings is too small a sample to be used for 2023 team planning. Edited July 12, 2022 by Beirao Spelling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also compare a rider like Joe Thompson's last 10 matches in the team vs reserve. The difference could be anywhere between 3.00-6.00!

Yes, if the team manager was more aware / ruthless, Berwick could have come away with a draw! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personally i think that unattached riders should be issued an average just as attached riders are once the number of meetings are achieved. Don't really know how Jody was signed in and out of the Chargers (28 day replacement or full signing) either way at NDL level theres too many rules and regs to jump through. Not sure that's a good idea. Let's say an unattached rider is likely to get a 3.5 ave, then after riding a 4th match, he'll no longer be able to guest for an injured 3.00 rider (or replace them) so may have to sit out the rest of the season, while a 2.75 rider can continue to guest! Wouldn't affect someone like Jody Scott so much as I'm sure half the clubs in the league would sign him up before his average shoots up!

The problem is / was that it could be possible for an unattached rider to puck and choose meetings that suited them, ride and rack up big points (affecting results) and would still remain a 3.00 rider for next season. If a rider decared in a side has a decent start or run of home/easier fixtures they could easily up thier average and then get dropped/frozen out. Ultimately if your points count towards the match result and are affecting the averages of others it should affect that riders too. Ive seen/heard that the points should applied to Jody but time will tell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If that's the case all guest appearances should count for averages & not just unnattached riders. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
