Yes it's primarily a development league, however when a rider has been around for years such as Arran Butcher and still struggles to score points, what are we actually developing ?, I would think we are developing riders for the future that are supported by riders established in the league these established riders enable others to develop at there own pace, 30+ riders struggling to score points are neither, so it's pointless 😁 (see what i did there)using them.

Really 

Think i might be too old for Saga now

I’ve seen a lot of people giving stick to the heat leaders. Klindt I think it’s justifiable.   however Allen and edwards I think are the sacrificial lambs for having strong reserves that everyone rave about.   in any other team Allen and edwards are at most number 3s or 4 and they score what they should.   reserves are very very good but the team has been designed that way!

Not absolutely sure. You may be correct. Anyone have any guesses for who the rider Workington are bringing in? Troy Batchelor said in an interview yesterday that there’s going to be changes.

Fair point but after a good heat 2, maybe they didn’t want to risk Anika’s confidence by putting her up against two of Buxtons better performers?
