The odd thing about that is while Palm-Toft had a Champ ave below Wright, Kerr & Allen his Prem ave was above all 3!

Not got much to compare it to, but that looks a weak team imo!

Bjarne being a strong number 1 in the Champ, while being a reserve in the Prem, suggests there is a bit of a difference between the league's! Obviously not as big as it was 2/3 years ago!

There will always be enough heat leaders, they'll just be weaker than normal as the best second strings now become heat leaders!

I remember a George Stancl interview on an Edinburgh speedway video, commenting on racing in England, only to be reminded he rides in Scotland lol!

Of course that would give you a stronger number 1, but also a weaker number 3!

On that average Ellis has to be a priority for any Champ club imo

That would be a sensible response of there was too many teams in the Prem but there's not!

He can be "on the slide downwards" and still be one of the top 2 riders in the league! (with Jack Holder)

I thought the exact same thing!

Poole 2022? Danny King 8.99 Lewis Kerr 7.67 Adam Ellis 7.47 Ben Cook 5.31 Danyon Hume 4.88 Stefan Nielsen 4.67 Jake Mulford 2* Total 38.99

If 2021 team building rules are in place? Plymouth Richard Lawson 8.51 Michael P Toft 7.33 Edward Kennett 7.19 Ben Barker 6.87 Alfie Bowtell 4.90 Zane Keleher 4.15 Henry Atkins 2* Total 38.95

Under 2021 rules Connor Bailey would be a 4* RS so would need another RS, unless rules change!

Even if one of them (Wolves) don't want to race in a 6 team league?

If that's true, it makes no sense, with only 6 Prem clubs, why would a new club be turned away?

This year the cut off was 3.50 Leon Flint was just below 3.5 = 3* Kyle Bickley was just above 3.5 = 4* Both Thompson's are above 3.5, which is 4* Under this years rules can only be classed as a RS for Prem not Champ! Rules could be changed - just need to wait & see!

I certainly hope the points limit will be raised! Needs to be a bigger gap between the top 2 divisions imo

Belle Vue Kenneth Bjerre 7.75 Brady Kurtz 7.35 Craig Cook 6.81 Rohan Tungate 6.59 Charles Wright 5.92 Richie Worrall 5.37 Tom Brennan 4* Total 39.79 Only 4.29 above current points limit!

Unless the points limit is raised, can't see how they can be stronger! Until 2022 rules are announced can only make predictions based on 2021 rules!

Morris got his ave in the team at Birmingham, Kennedy at reserve for Leicester, so I'd fancy Morris to be the stronger on the two!

2021 limit is 38+3 or 39+2, until 2022 team building rules are announced, all I can do is make predictions based on current regulations!

They would need the points limit to be raised to use Ellis or have stronger reserves in that team!

Obviously depends on the rules for 2022, but under current rules neither Dan or Joe could be the "rising star" for 2022!

Scunthorpe 2022? Ryan Douglas 7.74 Jake Allen 7.72 Thomas Jorgensen 7.28 Simon Lambert 5.83 Jordan Palin 5.69 Ashley Morris 4.68 Jake Mulford 2* Total 38.94

Leicester Steve Worrall 9.05 Nick Morris 8.61 Kyle Howarth 7.52 Connor Mountain 5.06 Dan Thompson 5.03 Joe Thompson 3.65 Tom Spencer 2* Total 38.92
