It appears looking at various recent interviews, all is not rosie in Poland regards to money, lots of riders are owed money, and lots of clubs are in debt, more so in the lower leagues, which klint and kilderman etc would ride for

For a Leicester point of view, based on his Championship average I'd have looked towards Joe T again. Maybe he'll get another chance of Hagon doesn't improve? -

Depends on the reasoning for the RS, to decide it "hasn't worked". The system has given many young / inexperienced Brits opportunities in the top flight, this alone should save money on flights if foreign riders were used at reserve instead. Also just because a rider hasn't moved out of the RS system, doesn't mean he hasn't improved as a rider. Look at the Championship averages of Jenkins & Edwards, they keep improving - has racing in the Prem helped cause that? Look at Kemp & Mountain, riders who got dropped not because of poor form but to try & improve the team, this would happen far more without the RS scheme. Maybe that's the only negative I can come up with, as riders like Kemp & Mountain are considered "number 7 quality" so miss out on Premiership team spots. Even when Dan T got dropped, without the RS scheme, he may not have got picked up by Ipswich, would he have improved so quickly without gaining another spot? I know some people will say "if you're good enough you'll get a chance anyway" but look at Dan T in the Champ in 2023. No club wanted him at the start of the season, Birmingham signed then dropped him, till he finally got a spot with Plymouth. This is the sort of thing that could easily happen more often in the Prem without the RS scheme. Every year there will be riders at the bottom of a teams average (below 4) no matter what system is used, I just think it's better to have Brits in these positions. I had a quick look at the last season before "rising stars" 2019 to see who ended up at number 7. One promising Aussie (Ryan Douglas), two young Brits (Perks & Sarjeant), three riders who didn't average over the minimum 4.00 (Porsing, Wells, Ostergaard) and one who never returned to ride over here (Berge) so if we got rid of the RS system and ended up back as it was then, is that any better? Ps sorry for the rambling, I find it hard to condense my thoughts down lol! -
As a reading / Eastbourne regular of yesteryear I sort of understand what your saying but that Plymouth track essentially is a race to bend 1 bar the odd exception or an error . Klindt is renowned for sharp starting and as you say he's prob cheaper . As for the glads last signing a rider who has def improved a bit in recent yrs is jack smith , if he fits he's a better bet than trigger etc

To be fair to them, they have come through when the top league improved it's levels several fold .. Eg. Chris Harris is a reserve which shows how "deep" into the team "good riders" now go.. Chris will inevitably come out of reserve quickly but another "good rider" will replace him.. The 2nd and 3rd tiers are the places for these lads to develop.. Far away from Messrs. Bewley, Emil, Doyle, Kurtz, Fricke, "The Holders", Woffy, Janowski, Musielak etc..

Brennan Thompson Jenkins (back as RS now) Rowe Hume (out of RS but still a reserve) But apart from them, it’s not worked.
