You can keep Bates and we will stick with Drew thanks
10am Tuesday 16th seems to be favourite for the announcement (all teams in one go as per previous statement)
If you look at his results in Aus he has been there and thereabouts without looking dominating so I'd say your caution as to expectations are justified
The Witches have form for signing a No1 who then drops a point or 2 off their average so it's the most likely outcome
None in the PL
In the CL there is a different team building limit for the main team dependant on the star grade used (and a 4☆ cant be used in the CL as part of the initiative)
If he doesnt it shows he is seriously on the wain.....
A big disappointment as a Witch only showing what we expected to see regularly 2 or 3 times the whole season
If as seems 99% certain both end up at Ipswich then it makes no difference as fits whichever way round
Has more impact in CL as 4☆ rating prevents riding in that league as part of the scheme
Because they would be having rides against each other and also against the likes of Josh who should be in the 2 or 6 positions as well as getting a go at those at the next level up again
I think you're missing the point - the rising stars arent necessarily meant to be at EL (sic) level as yet where as Bates certainly in the scheme of the 2021 set up is
He should have a place in the top league on merit but not as a rising star
