Dropped by Poole and don't really see where else he will end up in the CL It’s a strange sport that hinders progress by losing Team slot.Rowe is a good example but there will be others hindered by their average as happens every season as the sport get downgraded.Poor really.

Fell off a few times. As said he'd be on a 5 point assessed average unless they change the rules. He will be too old for Polish u24 league next year so is looking for a team in UK. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plenty every year unfortunately. He's just an example from today. As teams start to get released it will be interesting to see how heavy some go Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marko 956 Posted October 26, 2023 I was surprised to read about Tigers already saying five riders won’t be back, the dust has barely settled on their title win so why bring the fans down by issuing this news so early? You have just won the league, let the fans enjoy it for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dropped by Poole and don't really see where else he will end up in the CL Of course, a five-point-plus middle-order lad (like Anders Rowe) would be signed up in jig-time if he let it be known he was available for £25 per point less than the (vastly-inflated) going rate........
