Bojangles 594 Posted December 5, 2022 Anybody got any thoughts on the potential Oxford Chargers team for 2023? Presuming Atkins and Killeen are certainties, and don't see why Jenkins won't be back. Could look pretty similar to last year (which is no bad thing), and presume Oxford will be the Boughen brothers first choice if Mildenhall don't run. 1. Jordan Jenkins 2. Jody Scott 3. Henry Atkins 4. Luke Killeen 5. Nathan Stoneman 6. Kiean Boughen 7. Ashton Boughen Think that team fits the 42pt limit. Thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jenkins may not ride in the NDL if he gets a Premiership place combined with Poland and Kiean Boughen is no where near NDL standard yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's above the points limit, personally I think Jenkins won't race NL next year if he gets an "rs" spot in the Prem Oxford Jordan Jenkins 9.47 Nathan Stoneman 8.67 Henry Atkins 7.24 Jody Scott 5.88 Ashton Boughen 4.95 Kielan Boughen 3.00 Luke Killeen 3.00 Total 42.21 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personally I think the 4 meeting rule is a little daft for unattached riders. BSPL are obviously putting having a "fairer" league ahead of rider development. There will always be promising riders on a 3.00 once they hit 15, but under current rules riding less (bad for development) ensures they get a team spot the following year Edited December 6, 2022 by szkocjasid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Either green on the rules or team place already secured for 2023 regardless of average. Arguments for both sides rider development on one side vs meetings being affected on the other. Jody Scott signed for Oxford on 3.00 and the day after saw his averge double (genius signing). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bojangles 594 Posted December 7, 2022 If Jenkins isn't going to be doing the NDL, what about trying to tempt Dan Gilkes with Plymouth not racing? He might want the meetings coming back from injury as he is, and he was very impressive when racing at Sandy Lane last year... Dan Gilkes - 10.30 Henry Atkins - 7.24 Sam Hagon - 6.18 Jody Scott - 5.88 Ashton Boughen - 4.95 Arran Butcher - 4.36 Luke Killeen - 3.00 Total - 41.91 or if you wanted to go a little more top heavy.... Dan Gilkes - 10.30 Nathan Stoneman - 8.67 Henry Atkins - 7.24 Ashton Boughen - 4.95 Arran Butcher - 4.36 Luke Killeen - 3.00 Kiean Boughen - 3.00 (or any other 3pter) Total - 41.52 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoundTheBoards 271 Posted December 7, 2022 Don't think Gilkes is allowed to ride in all 3 leagues. Same applies to Jenkins. Can only imagine Boughen at Leicester. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why can't he ride in all three leagues? Jenkins did last year didn't he (Peterborough, Redcar and Oxford). Has there been a rule change? And I naturally thought Boughen would stick with Peter Schroeck, no? What's his link to Leicester? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That rule was dropped, but even coming back from injury gilkes is 2 good for nl wouldn't benefit from riding in it Edited December 7, 2022 by mc131 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jordan Palin was Peterborough's No.7 last year. It was possible to ride in NDL, Championship, and be on the rising stars list as a No.8. which is what Jenkins did. This year there are no No.8s and Jenkins will be Peterborough's No.7 rising star Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No. Jenkins came into Peterborough as their No.8 when their existing No.8 Dan Gilkes was injured. Obviously when Palin was injured Jenkins took over his place in the team, which was the whole point of having a No.8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
