Smolinski didn't actually qualify for the GPs, he was due to replace Hancock when he retired, but got injured & missed out!

I don't mind the world U-21 champ getting a place in the GP challenge, but definitely not direct to the GP series!

Then they deserve to be there! If you want new young exciting riders in the GP, they need to beat the older riders in the qualifiers!

It is very stupid, if GB pick Woffinden & Lambert, it would mean dropping a 21/22 year old for a junior! U-21 rule to bring riders on for the future, but Bewley is the future!

Woffinden, Bewley & Brennan for me! Lambert has touched the tapes a few times & given you could score 12 consecutive 7-2's but lose in the final, I think it's a bit of a risk to trust Lambert to keep still at the start!

Danyon Hume is really the only rider to have gained from the "rising star" system, everyone else who has done well was picked already for 2020, including Bowtell! RS system has worked better in the Prem in my view, giving rides to Brits instead of foreigners!

Those are the rules that have been in place all year for every team!

But does Palin & Flint's improvement have anything to do with the "rising star" system! They were picked for their teams long before it was thought up & would have improved anyway!

Not sure how a potential title decider can be called a dead rubber?

BSPL did everything they could to stop that happening!

Indeed, it's like they don't want to be Champions!

Not good for fans with season tickets!

I think he was signed to replace Charles Wright! Monarchs certainly got that one wrong lol!

7 teams in the play-offs, with the top team seeded to the semi finals! Cause with speedway you never know lol!

The same rules don't apply to both teams when it comes to the scores though! Home teans can't get 4 match points away teams can etc. Do you agree with this scoring system?

The GP just had a revamp with the points scoring, which I feel is the worst ever system!

Does that mean Buster is staying?

That makes perfect sense!

It would be more accurate to say it's like the losing team getting an extra substitute or playing 12 vs 11! An extra penalty would be like the tactical joker rule!

I didn't say he was disappointing or not racing to his potential, just that he was the weakest!

Or Somerset's 2015 side: Josh Grajczonek, Richie Worrall, Charles Wright, Brady Kurtz, Rasmus Jensen, Paul Starke & Oliver Greenwood!

Palin must be Scunny's weakest away rider though!

Don't know if there's any pressure on Peterborough! Gonna make the play-offs & 1st place is no great advantage as if you want to be the Champions need to beat any club over 2 legs!

Any of Peterborough's top 6 should be a trump card at reserve!

The Champ feels strong because clubs can have 3 x Prem heat leaders in their side! But with a stronger top division these riders wouldn't be Prem heat leaders & the Champ wouldn't look so strong!
