I thought someone said the rates had dropped I'm assuming the bottom chart is 2026 so the rates have actually gone up ?

They uploaded the other way round for some reason and I couldn't be bothered to edit. Also a typo from them but you get the idea.

Jenkins signed for Ipswich then I guess after posting one of the sponsors for 2026 is Suffolk floor restore.

That makes sense & I suspect that we’ll have Brennan,King & Jenkins back alongside Edwards from last year.

However I did hear a whisper that only 3 from last year were back.

So could 1 of  Brennan , Jenkins or King  be off to Northampton ??

Or really left field King is back but as Team Manager.

Interesting times

Jenkins seems a bit injured prone for my liking, had a few to many crashes last season.

[Baldyman]

If Jenkins get 25% off then fair enough, if not then he will have to have a good season,, like above, very injury prone. Jury is out for me.

His future lies in the Championship I think, 'hill of beans' and all that but you can't fault his desire and who knows.

If Jenkins is back, does that point to an SGP No 1?

I would be surprised if he is in a team that is more ‘strength in depth’.

Why are you so certain of this may I ask?

Looking at the relevant rules section it doesn't state anywhere the 25% is a one off? If he was allowed to drop back into the scheme then surely all the same rules will apply?

 

[SPEEDY69]

The rising star is Edwards though.

That's not what we are referring to. As jenkins was our rising star last year before being injured if a team signs him in the 1-6 this season i believe he should qualify for the 25% reduction on average for graduating the rising star scheme

[Baldyman]

If he doesn't get the reduction he will be 4.61 - 2.5%?   

[Witches1998]

Yes he will either be 4.61 -2.5% so 4.50 or -25% so 3.46

I read the rule that he should be 3.46 for the start of 2026

I'm not concerned when it comes to Jenkins, If it wasn't for injuries then I think his GSA would be even higher tbh.

Jenkins and Edwards will be the 3 & 4 Pairing for Redcar this season and more than likely the 6 & 7 pairing for Ipswich so that can only be a benefit to both Clubs.

Danny King will be the worry (If signed) because Mayfield will be signing him on a GSA attained mostly @ No.2 and depending on Team Building, Danny could very well end up riding as a Heat Leader this season.

A lot better options on similar GSA's like Tobi Musielak and Nicolai Klindt to name a couple.
