Surely your not admitting that the Championship is totally reliant on the Premiership and that without it you don't get the riders you want/need..... 

I did not say it wasn't I mean't he is not the same rider as he was then.

At least he will be paid at belle vue so should be a happier rider and raring to go. His average will improve 

Isn't it about time the Lions put details of next seasons riders on their website instead of last seasons team?

The NSS was there in 2018.   I merely searched to find every appearance at the NSS.  I didn't take into account appearances at the dog track, or anywhere else.

And Emil Sayfutdinov would be a good signing.   But like Zagar and Wright, his average doesn't fit the BV second-string berth either. BV needed a 5-point second-string, to complete  the team, and seem to have found one of good value.   As I say, if Kildemand's age of 36 makes him a bad signing, then we must write off Sayfutdinov, Wright and Zagar too, along with Chris Harris, Chris Holder and Jason Doyle.
