William Cairns and Cooper Rushen no longer Rising Stars?

Why not? It's basically a cheat code if your club finds a good junior. Who knows, it might even encourage clubs to develop some riders when they see the benefits.

Exactly, it’s typical British speedway attitude where if someone is doing too well something must be done to stop it

But is there enough riders to go around that fit that criteria?

That’s a good point. If your young “star” doesn’t come up to scratch , or even if he’s injured, and there’s already 14 signed to other clubs it does give you much option to change.

I'm glad you don't set the rules.

You really think that if a 19-tear-old Rising Star hits a 10.5 average and wins the British Final, he should be allowed to start the following season still as a Rising Star, at reserve, with his 10.5 average not counting in the team building average?

I can’t figure where these rising stars are coming from,will they be totally out of there depth or are we looking at Foreign U/21 riders to fill spots ?

jody scott

vinnie foord

ryan ingram

freddy hodder

ashton vale

jordy loftus

senna summers

And if any are missing on international duty or get injured, they can only be replaced by a rider on the RS list but not attached to a team...

Looking at the list above, most of whom will be attached to a team, their replacements will really struggle...

And, as yet, it doesn't appear too many foreign U21 riders have been mentioned so we could end up with more UK U21 riders at number six...

How much will it be to watch? £30 or so next season....??:D

They really have messed with the RS system, these lot are only just good enough to be number 7s (apart from Scott) in the championship never mind Premiership. Just shows how crap the youth system in Britain apart from a handful (Cairns, Rushen, Harrison and Scott)
