Northampton 2027

[Daniel Smith]

This is how I have the side in 'Confirmed Signings', does it look right, especially Mitch McDiarmid?

Chech your additions.   That comes to 37.02, so over the limit.

Have Northampton made a mistake in their signings?

Mitch is 3.44 as per last declaration so the team fits

That was 2025 Championship conversion to which he hadn't achieved an official Premiership average. So his new assessed average should be his 2026 Championship average converted again no?? Which is 3.69??

That was his converted average that he joined Northampton on this year.   Converted from his Championship average.

He only rode 5 meetings for Northampton, so hasn't got a 2026 Premiership average.

So his 2027 Premiership average should be his Championship average divided by 1.50 which gives the 3.69 that @Daniel Smith has calculated.

Yes.

I think you are mixing up amended averages and assessed averages

I can only assume they are allowing it to stick with the 3.44 on the prem declaration sheet as otherwise yeah doesnt fit. And would they really declare a team wrong?!

Good balanced team that. If Morris and Lidsey can put a point on their averages they’ll comfortably make play offs

Looks poor to me, Mcdiarmid is not doing championship either so that usually has a detrimental affect on form in a rider of his standard.

Mitch did 6 Premiership matches with Northampton, so he does have a current Prem average.

And from those matches he scored 24 points from 28 rides. I make that 3.43

I agree with @Daniel Smith McDiarmid's average should be 3.69.

@arnieg they don't count matches that take place after the play-offs have started, so McDiarmid only rode 5 matches that count, daft rule imo.

@Witches1998 I believe that's what they've done. It makes no logical sense to me, that McDiarmid is riding on a converted average from mid-season, rather than his final average converted.

It has happened before in the NL, Adam Roynon signed on a 6 (3 point ave doubled) but didn't get enough matches. They kept that average rather than using his final Champ ave doubled the following year.

Pretty lazy attitude by the rule makers imo, like they can't be bothered to give a rider the correct average.

I agree with @Daniel Smith @szkocjasid and the majority.

He came into Northampton on his converted 2025 Championship average.   He only did 5 Premiership meetings to count towards an average, so since he hasn't got an established Premiership average he should go into the 2027 Premiership on a 2026 converted Championship average, which is 3.69
