Understand it’s not easy or simple but think it would help a lot Did i read it that an u21 foreigner can gain roughly a 14% reduction on the average he would have come in last season.Down from 3.5 to 3.00,yet Cooper Rushen an English u21 will only get a 2.5% reduction just because he was a rising star last season.

Oxford and Birmingham were out of their depth in 2025, and Northampton last year, (with KL just about hanging in there).. The sixth (and heaven forbid seventh), team, just dilutes what the fifth team could be given so few riders of a "decent level" ride over here....

TJ45CSW Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Actually think this season with the new rules a lot of riders especially british may miss out on team sports as losing two spots per team to U21 means only 30 spots left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many clubs can afford these foreign juniors anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sensible move M.D unless someone turned up with 250k plus to burn through in 2027. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
