Got that wrong. The soap dodgers have nae chance

Only Berwick Bandits would line up in a cup final with a rider who has declared himself as not having been fit for weeks and riding in pain.

Controversial statement I know, but I have never understood why British riders only get a 2.5% reduction in team building averages in both the Premiership and Championship.  Surely, it should be much higher, (closer to) 25% to encourage teams to hire British riders rather than riders from abroad.

If Zach Cook plans on remaining in the Championship, he’ll be the first name on the team sheet at the expense of Lawson IMO. I’d expect Kerr and Newman to move on too, but assume the Fords and Middleditch will do everything they can to retain Cairns and Rushen, plus maybe Lightcap. May I recommend Sam Hagon, Mario Hasul and Matic Ivacic?

Anyone would think that Ipswich have always been a big time club in the top league other than when you signed 2 ready made super stars a few seasons ago This years team has had about as much league success as the previous teams over the last 2 + decades. Perhaps there was no long term planning involved with all those teams as well. Belle vue have had a few baron years but i just put that down to signing crap teams.

I don’t have a problem with guests Dave. They’re a necessary evil in the sport. Always have been. My problem is that Max Frickes season in this country had ended as well as his teams. To then be able to start it up again with a different club at this stage of it seems wrong. That’s why I called it a tin pot rule. If someone guested who hasn’t actually raced in the league this season, i.e lambert or whoever then although not ideal, would be acceptable. Just my opinion
