Agree especially on the rising stars. That’s run its course for where this league needs to be heading. There’s a real lack of talent in that age pool and they’ve added riders to the list that just shouldn’t be there. There’s also a huge disparity between the plum two or three that everyone would pick, and the rest who are just making up the numbers making it all a bit of an unfair nonsense.

Order Team Jerseys

 

Set the limit and then crack on building how you want within that limit.

The six current Rising Stars all have Championship level averages between 5.74 and 6.78. I'd say they are very well matched.

I'd agree that there is not a great choice of new talent to replace riders dropping out. Mulford and Pijper look the best in the short term. It really would be better having rising stars in the Championship

Maybe this year it hasn’t been such a disparity due to a couple exiting the scheme due to age and/or average so not as obvious, fair enough. 
 

The whole thing needs binning IMO I’ve never liked it or the way they’re selected since the get go. I’ve never agreed with the fact that just because your team has been crap one year, you then get the privilege of first pick the following year in a totally new season.

Where you finished in one season should be totally irrelevant to what happens the following year. Nonsense.

Most rising stars have an average over 3 so a 40 point limit for a 1-7 would work out as yet another drop and make it tough to fit in any extra top riders, should they choose our league. 

Why would it be a drop? Depending how you want to build a team, you can have a 4.00-4.50 at No7 & it doesn't have to be a Brit. The Premiership should be the pinnacle of British Speedway, not a fast track for the bang average.

If young Brits want to reach the top, try averaging 7+ at Championship level first. Rising Stars in the Premiership has been a failure.

Don't forget the 25% given to the RS's, if all got re-employed in 2027, it would be an increased to team strength, not a decrease.
