Out of curiosity what is the vastly inflated going rate?

I’m sure I read something recently where Bomber mentioned £90/point, and I got the feeling that was a league-mandated ceiling.

Thought Dick would have answered my question.

Might explain why some have said they were planning to drop Div 2?

Although "sponsors" might be able to top this up maybe? ;)

I don't know the ins and outs of it, but I guess someone outside a club could sponsor a ride according to their points. But a club can't channel money through someone else. I think the league do some kind of auditing on that.

Unfortunately I can't remember where I read what Bomber said, otherwise I'd point it out. He didn't say a lot, but he did reference it at some point.

Harris and Ben Cook top 2. Complin and Pijper reserves. How many points does that leave for other 3?

By rough calculation about 14? Bailey, borke and Gilkes wouldn't make a bad 7

You'd have to expect Bailey back after his season just gone and the fact he is a Glasgow asset isn't he? Also, doesnt he work for the Glasgow owners during the week?

Thought Basso, Brennan, Vissing and Tarasenko only four confirmed to not return?

The 5 include nowak and tarasenko I believe. Who took one place in the 7. So would be Ben, Tom, claus, nowak and tarasenko being the 5

In view of some recent rumours, how about………Harris, B Cook, Flint, Hume, Borke, Complin, Pijper.     37.93

I do love it when the "I know more than you do " brigade show up.

My assumption would be with the Riders that are leaving announced, that Bomber, Complin and Ace are most probably staying.

The trick will be to get a strong 5 in probably around the 8 mark so it doesn't take a genius to work out that it's coming from the batch of ........ King,Worral,Kerr,cook,Lawson,Nichols,howarth or Wright.

 I would also assume by taking one of those at 5 to get a heat leader at 3 would be between 5.5 and 6.5, leaving two riders in the 4's - 5's to fill the second strings.

Watching what other teams are doing helps you narrow everything down.
