Absolutely.  The Championship is too strong in terms of top riders.  None of those riders at Number 1 and 5 should be able to ride if they're already Premiership heatleaders.  Turkeys and Christmas though.

Most of the prospective teams being cited on here look hardly any different to last season's starting seven - and they won't, not with the same points limit.  All you can hope for is that most riders live up to their average and one or two increase theirs.

agreed its ridiculous that the championship has got even stronger by the looks of it, yet certain teams are scared to step up for some absurd reason. It also leads to bigger mismatches between the championships number 1 & 5 and the 6 & 7s. 

He does, but looks like nobody has listened to him shock horror. If anything, it looks like the leagues have got CLOSER 🙄

What you say makes very reasonable sense and is practical and logical. Therefore by definition an insurance company lawyer would go no where near that. They just want a certified date to cover their backsides so if there's a failure it's not their fault.

Can’t see it being anything other than 37. The proposed Northampton team has been built to 37 and hasn’t even quite managed that.
