We potentially lost quality as we made it unaffordable for scores of riders who couldn't make it pay. I believe it was Dean Machine who pointed out the staggering numbers of in particular British riders lost to the sport in the last few years. Why do we keep going for quality in a vained attempt to keep a dwindling fan base.

Think your number 2 needs to be a 4.00 rider and hope they improve,that top4 will win plenty of meetings,you don’t need your reserves to be good at the start of season it’s the end that they need to be.

Same here,but I think Castagna is not at Edinburgh so will be interesting to see where he ends up as he’s definitely better than his average.

In charge of what? Coleman is in charge of Ipswich and nothing else.    He’s not trying to get around anything and people who have used the word “loophole” on here clearly have no idea what that actual word means.    The regulations for assessing averages are there for all to see, its black and white., no grey.    The only thing we don’t currently know, is whether those regulations have been altered for 2027.

Unless you have a Rushen/Cairns starting on a 2pt average, going with 2 normal 2 pointers will not get you anywhere, Surely if you have 2 top heat leaders already, the need for another is not there, build to get an at least half decent reserve.
