the championship should be the league that gets weakened. Year on year the championship gets closer to the premiership but further away from the national league.

Id have been tempted to set the championship at 36 personally.

agreed its ridiculous that the championship has got even stronger by the looks of it, yet certain teams are scared to step up for some absurd reason. It also leads to bigger mismatches between the championships number 1 & 5 and the 6 & 7s.

good idea, for 2027 teams that ran a national league team this year should get first dibs 👍

The fact that it isnt in the championship is mind boggling, this scheme is perfect there. It should be two in the championship and one in the premiership ideally.

Looks like 2027 is on course to be an even worse season than 2026!

is this the most ridiculous post ive ever seen?

pathetic to be honest, had all year to run the 1 (one!) contractual meeting and cant even be bothered to do that.

of course not there will be wild mismatches now, should still be under 24 (or 23) ideally for the next few years until the u21 are ready. Even better it should be in the championship where it all makes perfect sense.

has it been cancelled? last i heard it was the first week of november?

There aren’t enough good riders of that standard to go around, will be relying on some new foreigners to the leagues. Is the championship exempt from these rules again? That’s where these rules would make more sense, should be brits at reserve only if you ask me

Congratulations to Scunthorpe on their league title

It won’t happen but this would fit in a 39 point limit Fricke Brennan Doyle Rushen Lambert Harrison Scott r/s

Of course it matters, refereeing has been shocking in this country for years now and it’s getting worse, an investigation needs to happen into the standard of refereeing. This is just the tip of the iceberg and has robbed the rightful winners of a league title

to be honest its totally irrelvant what an SCB offical says when its written down in black and white in the rulebook. maybe it will be rewritten which is fine, but its not been rewritten yet and the current rulebook should be adhered too

reading this thread unfortunately i dont think that is the case.

of course i wouldnt as hes more than likely to give someone a hiding.

in my opinion foreign riders shouldnt be able to be reserve especially in the championship

🤡 absolute clown.

if eastbourne comes to tapes it just makes so much more sense to have two leagues of eight.

Even if Poole win (which lets face it they will at a canter) id still put it down as a failed season, with the team they have they should be winning everything.

apart from those times he signed for Belle Vue and Sheffield of course.

Flint was woeful at Scunthorpe which was where the tie was lost, summed it up when he didnt even finish heat 15 and went back to the pits, there were quite a few travelling fans on bend 1 which he totally ignored.

Rising tide lifts all boats.

appreciate the costs are going to be higher but Poole currently have 4 premiership riders in there starting 7, not including Kerr who has done mulitiple seasons in the top flight and still could do a job.
