Maybe thinking of this season Average wise.Some riders do.

If that’s the case then perhaps it would better all around if he went there?

And they say Ipswich buys the league 😂 Fair play to Thompson if that’s the case he has been awesome for us these last 3 years. Equally Louis stands his ground & won’t bust the budget so fair play to him too.

Yet Redcar are set to announce their whole team at their Christmas party so the rules must already have been agreed , surely ? They have already stated they were forced by the new rules to release King.

The theory is great in principle, but it only works for 3/5 current Premiership teams. And even then: NSS - 3.1 miles away from Manchester City centre Owlerton - 2.8 miles from Sheffield City Centre Beaumont Park - 3.1 miles from Leicester City centre The logistics of it won’t appeal to the younger audience and if you’re at uni you typically won’t drive, so reliant on broken public transport infrastructure or overpriced cabs 

At this stage it's easy to announce a couple of signings without knowing the upper points limit, Plymouth have already put Nicholls & King in their team for 2026 both have big averages which will take up a good part of their limit but all it really means is they may be using weaker riders at reserve or to give it a twist "Allowing young British riders a chance".
