I think Killeen has done ok this season, but I don't understand why they took him out of the draft & "saved" him for 2025.

Officially they could've picked Jordan Jenkins as "RS".

As I understood the selection process the 2024 club that the RS rode for would have the chance to retain them so Jenkins would be first choice to Ipswich, whilst Oxford had a choice between Boughon & Killeen & Ashton only wanted to be where "Bomber" was going to be.

Dan Thompson was their RS last year.

Jenkins wasn't a RS last season so no club has first dibs on him, without covering old ground again, it's implausible to believe Jenkins would not have been picked before it got to Ipswich

Maybe I could have phrased it differently.

Last season Jenkins was an Ipswich asset. Ipswich used Dan Thompson as their RS last season, Jenkins was eligeble to be used as RS last season but Ipswich chose to use Thompson in that role.

In 2025 Dan Thompson is no longer eligeble to take an RS position so Ipswich had the choice as Jenkins was under an exisiting contract with the club so they have priority.

As with Oxford in 2024 both Ashton Boughen & Luke Killeen were eligeble to take the RS position but in 2025 with both still able to take an RS role Killeen was retained by Oxford & Ashton was signed by Kings Lynn as their RS.

If my post caused anyone any issues I'm sorry but I thourght it was obvious what my meaning was without an explaination

No he wasn’t. 
 

And Ipswich had no “priority” over Jenkins for this season.

Looking at the averages, Charles Wright looks set to be number one in June. Probably been a few years since a rider was number one in both the Prem & Champ, Sam Masters?

Harris with Glasgow and Lynn just beat him to it! Although that be changing again I guess.
