Jenkins i can confirm was never in the running for King's Lynn, there was an enquiry at the latter stages of this season, but he wasn't interested, the club who did want him was Birmingham, but he's obviously back at Ipswich, and he didn't even know he was in the R/S category until a few weeks ago.

going by what @siggysigalos has said elsewhere on this thread lynn & birmingham wanted jenkins but he wanted to stay at ippo 

therefore the 'draft' isnt really a draft at all

Nope it’s not! If Lynn wanted Jenkins then he should have been forced to ride there under the rising star rules… if not then he should have had to ride at number 6 for the Witches (if they still wanted him that is)

This has been mentioned for years already. Regardless of what the "regulations" say, 'Rising Stars' are not being forced to ride where they don't want to be.

Talks happen pre-pick between clubs & rider's about where they want to go.

This is common knowledge. 

My understanding of the rules are, if Jenkins was on the RS list, he's available to the first club that picked him? If he wasn't interested in King's Lynn or Birmingham then he just wouldn't race as a RS.

I'm not saying that's right & riders shouldn't be allowed to pick their clubs, just that the rules stated bottom club got first pick and so on.

If the clubs agree between themselves to let the riders go where they want (nothing wrong with that) why was a draft / ranking system voted on in the first place?

quite agree

@Arch Stanton has been vocal about this and i agree, let riders go where they want but dont dress it up or pretend that its a draft when it aint 

id imagine every club is happy with their rs anyway

i mean if he can average ten at lynn like allott did id take that !

[siggysigalos]

I think what i said about Jenkins has not come over correctly....

He was asked to join Lynn during last season as there were rumours Ipswich were moving him out of the 7, after speaking to Management on the rumours, and being told it was rubbish, he went back to Lynn and said Thanks, but No thanks as he wanted to stay at Ipswich.

He was NEVER asked about joining Lynn as a R/S for the 2025 season....NEVER.

Birmingham made an enquiry for 2025 to be their R/S, but at the time, it was unclear whether Jordan was going to be in the R/S list, so Birmingham made their move on Jason Edwards.

Then Lynn picked Ashton, and that was always their 1st choice due to the fact Chris Harris had already agreed to ride for Lynn next season....So no Brainer.

Then Oxford went for Killeen, leaving Ipswich with possibly Flint,Hagon,Mulford,Joe Thompson etc, but it was then agreed by Morris and his crew that Jordan would return to the R/S berth for 2025, and obviously he became Ipswich's R/S for 2025. At no stage has Jordan turned down a ride at any club, due to the fact he genuinely didn't know whether he was a R/S or not. They are simply the Facts of it all, and trust me im in a position where i know that is correct.

If you ask me for my opinion on the R/S system how it works, then i agree with you all, i imagine phone calls and conversations go on behind the scenes, and sometimes it makes a mockery of the system, but i will defend Jordan, he didn't turn down a ride for any club, where i put not interested in joining Lynn, that was for last season not 2025.

Maybe Jordan wasn't asked by Lynn,but I know he was their preferred choice at the end of the current season if he was a rising star for next season.

[GiveusaB]

Just on the selection process? I think it's fair if the bottom club got first pick.... I think Bham would've gone for Jenkins  then Edwards? 

But we'll never know I guess.

Certainly happy with Edwards over Flint!

He was wanted last season, i can 100% tell you that,and i can confirm 100% he wasn't spoken to by Lynn at any stage for this season. So many rumours on here, which we all get sucked into, but the Jordan Jenkins scenario, I don't need to get involved in rumour on Jordan, they are Facts.

Boughen was always signing for Lynn as a R/S, all down to Chris Harris that one i'm afraid.

you dont need to be afraid

i think most lynn fans are pleased with him signing

he potentially has the highest ceiling of the 7 if his shutting off issues can be ironed out

I was merely stating that Jenkins and Flint were preferred at the end of the season,Lynn's season.Whether they were spoken to or not is a different matter.Remember our season finished  nearly 7 weeks ago so a lot of things must have changed in Lynn's thinking.But those two were definitely preferred at the end of our season and that is a fact too.It doesn't mean they done anything about it,which obviously they haven't.

I don't like the pick process personally.Like i have said before riders should be able to go where they want.But as we do have these so called rules you would think they would have adhered to them.Surely if the pick is done fairly then all rising stars should be known to all clubs before the pick is started,and not all of a sudden when 3 clubs have made a pick make another one available.

That cannot be denied imo, but if I was a Lynn fan my priority would be having the strongest RS for 2025, not having a potential future GP rider. Unless he was your own asset of course.

[Arch Stanton]

I’m sorry but anybody who believes Jordan Jenkins was available to Either Birmingham or Kings Lynn are incredibly naive.

Agreed, if he can iron out that shutting off issue with the help of Bomber then he’s the best rising star in the league by a long way

yeah thats kind of what i meant

by the end of the season he could be the best if he develops as he could 

imo edwards jenkins & flint have possibly peaked and mulford & hagon arent as good 

kileen could also be the top rs if he carries on his trajectory

Edwards end of season Championship GSA:

2021: 2.22

2022: 3.90

2023: 4.67

2024: 6.34

Peaked! 🤔

that's more progress than Dan Thompson or Anders Rowe  have they peaked too?

Look at Anders Rowe’s progression

2023: 5.95

2024: 7.76 (4 meetings)

If I was in the Championship I know which one I’d rather have…
