So more watering down FFS 

If the top 9 averaged riders get shared amongst the 9 Champ clubs, that's not watering down the league at all (unless multiple 8+ riders were planning to return).

Seems like nearly half the team have done farewell speeches already. 

Who’s that out of interest ?

From this years team I'd have Harris, Flint, Nagel & Hodder back, the latter who is at least from what i have seen miles more a better rider than Perry. 

I'd personally break the bank to get Cooper Rushen & I think Tate Zischke would be good too on his average.

No, more sharing out.  Same riders, spread thought the league.

Indeed, as a Bandit fan, you should be pleased, as it allows all the teams to work closer to a reasonable budget.

If, in fact, this proposal is adopted!

You are probably right. Can't understand why he appears to be Poole bound. Surely he would learn more - how to overtake experienced riders , how to use different lines, how to ride grippy tracks  etc - by choosing a track other than Poole.

Not really that difficult to understand, is it? Almost guaranteed trophies, a stable club, doubtless a good financial/sponsorship package. I assume it's also one of the closest Championship tracks to him, too, which helps being a 16yo.

I know Glasgow fans are still unhappy about the track in the PO final, but if you're in Rushen's position and Poole are interested then it's very easy to see why he'd go there.

If he's 'very pricey' he won't be southbound!!

As I've said earlier, this is a team I'd like, though I'd be a bit sad for the teams that lost some of these riders... but here's a 7 I like anyhow.

Chris Harris (9.13)
Jody Scott (3.92)
Leon Flint (7.13)
Tate Zischke (5.76)
Kyle Howarth (8.12)
Sam Hagon (3.57)
Jordy Loftus (2.19)

Total: 39.82 (but will be lower with 2.5% reductions, which I couldn't be bothered to calculate as this team is below 40 anyway).

As always, purely for fun before the final green sheet has been issued - I had something similar as one of my draft teams on my spreadsheet -

Harris, Zischke, Flint, J Thompson, Howarth, Hodder, Loftus - slightly over the 40pts.

Assumes those riders want to ride at the tracks who missed out on them and that those tracks can financially afford those riders.

Top three of Harris, Howarth and Flint (I’d add Morris to that four but pretty sure he’s back at Berwick on what is a steal of an average) should grab a decent amount of points one and away, a less top heavy team will allow to have one slightly stronger reserve at 6 and hope there’s a 0.5 point increase each in the engine room and reserves in case some mid season tinkering needed 

1 Harris 8.90

2 Jake Mulford 4.26

3 Leon Flint 6.95

4 Tate Zischke 5.43

5 Kyle Howarth 7.92

6 Sam Hagon 3.48

7 Freddie Holder 2.63

Averages = 39.57
