The one I'd heard was the cross border one although I've since heard that's off again

As you say it's the rumour season 

 

A new club in Wales? Could be Wrexham

I think this is spot on...

R Douglas  8.12
S Masters  7.28
L Becker   6.88
N Morris   5.89
K Howarth  5.00
A Vuolas   3.36
L Killeen  R/S

 

(Not sure if Vuolas's short spell with Brum was enough to make a 3.36 PL average stick.  If not, another 3 pointer is needed).

You’ve missed out Dan Thompson. Blew Ipswich “out of the water” FAO @ouch

Just Like Birmingham did last year with Rew. So when good ol @ouch comes out with his usual anti Ipswich agenda this winter about Ipswich “buying” the title,  don’t believe a single word he says 😂

Max Fricke - 9.89
Sam Masters - 7.28
Adam Ellis - 5.92
Nick Morris - 5.89
Dan Thompson - 5.87
Kyle Howarth - 5.00
Luke Killeen - RS
Total - 39.85

Id be happy with this. Finally a strong reserve!

Strongest Lions 1-7 that I can build, Really struggling to build a solid side around Max Fricke due to his very high GSA.

Going down the King's Lynn route with Team Building.

 

1. R. Douglas 8.12

2. N. Morris 5.89 / D. Thompson 5.87

3. L. Becker 6.88

4. R. Lawson 6.82

5. S. Masters 7.28

6. K. Howarth 5.00

7. L. Killeen (RS)

= 39.99 / 39.97

Swap Becker for Dan Thompson and that top 5 plus RS is what we’ll see in 2026, just not sure the number 6 is yet

So looks like it's true...No Fricke at Leicester next season.....Those calling Dougy at 1 are spot on.

Question is will Fricke return to the UK and if he does who can afford him or even more to the point, who can fit him in with his average.

Max Fricke's sky high GSA is tailor made for a club who aren't aiming for glory but they need a big name pull in the side to get punters in.

His GSA is a big problem for any club that has ambitions to win silverware imo.

So he’s frozen out

Where have you heard/read that Fricke will not be at Leicester? Not saying you’re wrong, but where has this come from?

So you are basing that on a points limit of 36 then? Do know that for certain?

Been told that by two current riders that it’s 36 in Premiership and 40 in Championship and they are signed up in teams built to those limits already
