Spot on george.
No need to be bitter though.
Everyone knows you've got the fantasticist stadium in the world, just no trophies in the cabinet.
But that's because you always play fairest.
What is it they say about the east end - always cheated never defeated?
Reduce the limit just because you can't find a number 1?
Really??!!!!
Maybe a different balance to the team could have been considered or else a number 1 signed first rather than last?
Cookie & Sedgy only averaged a tad over 18 last season.
The team finished about 5 points over the 42.5 limit.
So we've had to cut our starting total by that 5.
So cookie / Sedgy's average of 18+ less 5 gives the 13.7 or so which we have remaining.
Would have been nice to have done like for like replacements and stay at 47.5 but rules is rules and we always follow them.
The new team will be able to add sufficient points to their starting averages to make us the team to be feared as normal.
Dunno.
But he would need to be fully fit.
I see he is riding in Oz.
But I fear for his health.
Some riders have so many injuries they should perhaps stay retired.
