Stefan Nielsen and Ben Wilson are 2 more riders that this rule could benefit.
I agree that it helps the NL but for rider development Ash should have a PL place from the start! The PL number 7s rule has helped a lot of riders but then ones like Morris, Nielsen, Branford, Wilson, Hawkins & Bowen can't get a place.
If those teams hadn't have selected them then they might not have teams and there's some improvement in that list. Then they'd be facing not riding PL like Morris and Nielsen for example, which won't help them to improve.
That team would score 50+ everywhere! Holt looks a certainty, I wouldn't be surprised if Williamson's average priced him out of Cradley's team, Boxall's PL average is too high and can't do NL, I doubt they'll let Bickley in, Widman I assume will be at Smallbrook and if Payne joins then I wonder where Stoke's heat leaders will come from.
Previously that's only applied to PL riders. If it includes EL as well now it would probably only exclude Stefan Nielsen from the NL.

The people on the logo are warriors.
Adam will be PL and EL only.
We needed a number 1 and I wouldn't be surprised to see most of them at the same team they were at this year. Plus he seems to go better around big tracks to me. I would've liked Tim Webster but I won't be surprised if he doesn't ride this year again.
Welcome to James and welcome back to BDJ. I'd like something along the lines of Widman at 2, Marc Owen at 5 with a 3 pointer and Cottham at reserve. But some new names, to supplement the old, would be nice.
