If Allen is "far more talented", why does he have a lower Champ ave than Thomson?

Yep that’s right Thomson  had a great year in 22 another good ausie Queenslander , Allen had his problems , scunny thread best describes this, hard to raise av in heat leader positions when coming back from a wrist injury , Thomson no doubt will get a crack at some stage in 23 if good enough,team managers pick best team possible it’s that simple

Good signs from Justin Sedgmen , Finished 4th in the Oceania Final . The line up was very strong. The meeting was won by Adam Ellis with Doyle & Woffinden 2nd & 3rd respectively

Was it strong? Woffy and Doyle yes but the rest weren't a great standard!!

After the lad that finished 5th, it’s a bit of a stretch to suggest that was a strong line up. If he hadn’t beaten the rest of them that would have been a concern……

Yep agree, what happened to Tungate? He was entered but a no show, sedgmen no slouch around there or any southern Australian tracks, done a million meetings there, solid performer in Aust

It's interesting to see that there's no mention of the dates for the Jubilee Trophy Final against Poole in the Lion's fixtures published today. Does anyone know when they might be?

It's not a Premiership fixture. I guess all will become clear when the Championship fixtures are made available. This Inter-league Challenge ( as it now is) is expected to be to start the season.

Bit (more) of a farce with one rider being in both team squads!

Poole to strengthen and/or Leicester to weaken for this one. As a Poole asset, Lawson to ride for Poole maybe?

That's what it sounded like in the interview without saying it outright.

The only way to complete the Jubilee League would be using last year's teams, so the riders who qualified for the final, race in the final!

If you allow guests to strengthen Poole / weaken Leicester then it can surely only be a challenge match?

As Leicester have a NDL team, replacing Lawson with Joe Thompson would be a sensible choice!

I know it's not a Premiership fixture but there's no reason Lion's can't put the Jubilee Trophy fixtures on their own Web site!

They can't be sure of when it is possible to run until the Championship fixtures are published. Both teams will be waiting for both leagues fixtures to confirmed before announcing a date only to be forced to change it.

The Championship fixtures have now been published. Still no sign of the Jubliee play off dates!
