I guessed that would be the case. But where is that replacement going to come from? Unless someone makes significant early strides in the National League, finding a rider close to being capable would be difficult.
Do others like this rule? I can't make my mind up! It may be being introduced a bit too early as there just don't seem to be enough 3 pointers good enough to go round atm (especially if/when those injuries kick in). On the other hand, maybe that's the point - if they stay in the NL are they likely to progress and ever be good enough for PL?
And if the idea is to improve young British talent, is there a danger that some might be way out of their depth and end up quitting altogether and being lost to the sport, or am I just being defeatist now?
Thoughts?
