Cairns would be at reserve in that team, has a lower average than Boughen, who would be an unlikely signing.

He will be.

After a year with no real No.1 and a strong No.6, I can see Buster going in totally the opposite direction for 2026.

Are there enough U19s of sufficient quality to ride in the Prem next season? Think it's be better if it was U24 in Prem, U19 in Champ.

A 36 point limit for a top 5 is a strong league. 2025 top fives Belle Vue 36.77 Birmingham 27.75 Ipswich 36.04 King's Lynn 33.78 Leicester 37.30 Oxford 30.60 Sheffield 36.31 If there are 2 "rising stars" keep them at reserve all year & use the old "fast track" format.

just expecting Jack Holder to stay, with Picko doesn't leave a lot of room elsewhere. If Jack doesn't return, then I'd have Pickering.
