As it stands the league will be watered down given some of the more capable ex RS's will not get places in the top tier and some NDL level lads will be coming in... They desperately need some decent U21 riders from overseas as twelve GB U21's will mean a huge disparity in capability each meeting, from No1's to No 6's and 7's...

So if the jungle drums are right and Doyle and Bewley both end up as Ipswich’s number 1 and 5, who is going to come in at Belle Vue as number 5 to be backing up Brady Kurtz?  What about Josh Pickering moving over the hill from Sheffield?  Would fit Mark Lemon’s MO as an Aussie rider and could see him easily coming to grips with NSS as a home track 

Nope.

Just had a listen. So, it’s Doyle plus ‘one of the top six in the world’. Does that definition encompass Bewley? I suppose it does if you look at it over two years but, on a narrower definition it covers Lambert, Zmarzlik, Jepsen Jensen, Dudek and Madsen. I haven’t included Kurtz as I can’t believe that he will be anywhere other than Belle Vue. King will be back and Hurry remains as the Team Manager.

Take that side all day long

Don't think the NDL averages convert to championship, if you have no average you are a 2 pointer many other riders will have a previous championship average so that is used, think you can't drop to NDL if you have a championship average over 4.50 or 5
