Several riders have been top league standard and even world class before 21 years old.  I don't like age restrictions as the sport should cater for talent so your suggestion of of achievement before being placed in the top league has merit as so many do struggle, but we have also seen success stories there (Loram and Screen spring to mind).  If they're talented enough they will shine through. 

All guesses not assumptions, I’d expect Lawson to be back as Zach won’t do Champ. I’d love Cairns to be back as I think he’s ready to be at 3, and at Poole could even ride at 5. Slater on a 4 is a bargain, as is Kennett on a 4.62. I put King in as his ave is under 8 so I think he will have many clubs after him.  I’d happily have Anders back, his average of 6.3ish(can’t remember of the top of my head) also leaves more points else where to spend. 

The perfect response to a snivelling Troll. Fair play 👏🏻

I think this will be a big problem for several sides next season. The NDL just isn't a conveyor belt anymore and the few 2.00 riders that are close to stepping up are still probably a season away. Doesn't mean i don't expect to see Binns, Norman, Fletcher or Southwick thrown in somewhere but it will remain to be seen if the go the Ingram or Etherington route.... 

Yes he committed a heinous crime and has now finished his time, but what about the crimes committed by a couples of Aussies and a Brit that was swept under the carpet with money in front of it. Did they learn, have they ever been punished or continually berated.  

Its great news that the Comets return in 2027. Personally I would like to see Batch back as he has been a cornerstone of the team this year. Tate is coming into his own again so he would be a goode signing, as would Vinnie. After that Im open to ideas. Jonas would be an option but not Jacobsen or Perry for me.
