Drew Kemp hasn't been signed yet and I think he can only fit in to Workington, Edinburgh, and Scunthorpe now. Although I do believe he's riding in Poland, isn't he? That would make Scunny the likely option.

Still awaiting mine.

Well Hume's 2025 scoring was better than the previous season, so he was going in he right direction. He may not get any better, but I wouldn't say he can't.

I agree Glasgow had an awesome top 5, was pointing out it's weaker this year as you mentioned their reserves are stronger. As the league is weaker Oxford's top 5 wouldn't need to be on a par with Glasgow's from last year. If Riss goes back to his best, plus McDiarmid & Killeen ride to their potential, then Oxford could be close to Glasgow's 2025 top 5 though. This year rate Oxford's top 5 higher, but Glasgow's reserves as stronger. With Poole the favourites (assuming they've signed Rushen). Pedersen and Hausl could make the difference though, be interesting to see how they go. Think Oxford should be happy with McDiarmid & Killeen though with more British track experience.

Tried that approach at Swindon. Let's hope Rugby Council can create robust S106 conditions, unlike the ones Swindon Council must have asked a 5-year-old to draw up!

shall I put it this way...   ...the Premiership only had 6 riders who were too good for the Championship, I know there were more who didn't tide in the championship but the likes of Becker, Brennan, Douglas and Pickering are hardly world stars. Excellent but not in the top 20 riders in the world. If you want a premium product it has to be that. This season at least two of those 6 won't be riding.  Personally I don't think you can offer a premium product in this country because the infrastructure, apart from the NSS, isn't conducive to it. In terms of either the tracks or stadia. But if you do need a premium product find a format in which you can at least see a high % of those top 20 riders in the world.
