Of course you can add a stronger rider at the top, but that also means a weaker rider at the bottom!

I doubt Worrall will be back.

Cant build a title challenging 1-7 when using up 18.02 on 2 riders.

It's borderline Plymouth from this year when including both King & Worrall.

Denmark are running a full fixture list next season so Basso signing for Poole is unlikely at this point.

I would say 5 of those riders could put at least a point on their averages! So can easily build a title challenging team with 2 x 9.0 riders!

Danyon Hume 4.88
Ashley Morris 4.68
Stefan Nielsen 4.67
Zach Cook 4.40

I hope Basso doesn't leave, he shud see being on board the Pirates Ship as the way to build his craft far quicker and stronger.

Leave Denmark behind, the Pirate Ship is the way to sail!

Now be told! :D

Think he has done alright at Poole when we were in the Prem when he was with Wolves a few years back?? Who did he ride for this season?

Picked 6 riders, then see who's available under the 4.70 remaining! Personally I rate Morris!

A real shame they got rid of rising stars. Gave young riders a chance. Now some are left with inflated averages and are going to struggle to get a team place.

Don't really agree, the league is pretty much same strength as last season and the championship has never had issue giving young Brits a chance. Continuing with it in premiership makes sense as that's where opportunities were fewer

Not sure why you'd class them as inflated averages. They earned them in a tough league, which will be of similar standard this year.

Bowtell, Jenkins and Flint already signed up. Thompson's, Palin, Kemp, Edwards, Hume, Thomas all likely to get places easily.

I agree, the "rising stars" in the Prem makes a bigger difference to bringing on Brits imo

This. And a better NDL to help bridge the gap instead of forcing riders that aren't ready to step into the Championship

It's impossible to suggest there is a simple system for picking a league winning team, Glasgow only had one rider above 7 after Ulrich got injured & finished 2nd, whereas Leicester had 4 x 8.00 riders but finished below them!

Berwick always had one strong reserve Flint / Andersen but finished near the bottom, while Edinburgh till Kemp signed always had a reserve who scored very little finished in the top 5!

I think it'll be even harder for any NDL riders looking to step up this year, with a 42 limit I can see lots of strong reserves, so new 2.00 men will find it very tough!
