I think Oxford would have made the play offs if Knudsen was able to ride, a lot of points dropped when the full 1-7 was unavailable. 

Beau Bailey will need to finish in the top 4 in a Aussie state championship to be able to qualify for a uk visa. 

Not necessarily so. You can get a cheap flight for under £50 but if you have a UK based rider in the north having to travel to Plymouth then you might end up paying him more.

If Jody is back at Redcar then I hope he does well. The injury to Nicholls at the end of the 2024 season is still having a knock on effect on the Cheetahs, Nicholls and Scott would have been in last seasons team if Nicholls was fit to start the season, circumstances meant they quite rightly accepted offers when they became available and now both appear to be back at those same clubs for 2026. Id therefore go with Ritchings at 7 and hope they can fill the gap with one of the better SGP2 guys. If Riss is unavailable then it looks tricky to find realistic alternatives if the one over 8 average comes in.  

Brennan could be at no 5, even if they signed Bewley & Doyle, happened this year.

WOW.
