And for a very similar output. King actually has the higher average.

Totally agree and I felt the same when we signed Rew. We should look to do one of these every year in my opinion because it freshens things up and gives us a look at a new rider. With all due respect to the others, we know exactly what they can do and how they ride because we’ve all watched them a million times. PHB gives us that intrigue and something different.

King costs half of what gating tart Klindt demands.

This is something I pointed out when it was first muted as an option (and since adopted) The fairest solution is that the team that finishes top get a share of gate receipts from the semi final participants 

Museilak must be due for a testimonial soon? And Scott could be too, even though he's probably already had at least one? What about Danny King?

The signing of PHB has really cheered me up, it was always going to be hard so late in the day to bring over a top no.1 but in the absence of that bringing in an exciting newcomer to the league from the continent is a good show of intent from the new owners and offers additional excitement and intrigue to see how he fairs on these shores
