Anyone know what average Kai Huckenbeck comes in on?

That must be a mistake by SS 5.51 X 1.4 = 7.71

Adam Lowe (5.62), if he's still riding?

Pan B could be Andre Compton (6.61) he's a former Diamond!

I reckon Georgie Wood will hit an 8.00 ave this year!

You forgot IOW & Kent bud!

What average do people think Ashley Morris will hit this year?

What average do people think Zach Wajtknecht will hit this year?

Is Ben Barker on the FT list? 1 Kenni Larsen 7.26 2 Troy Batchelor 6.91 3 Robert Lambert 6.59 4 Rory Schlein 6.24 5 Mads Korneliussen 5.95 6 Ben Barker 4.54 7 Lewis Rose 3.00 Total: 40.49

There's a few NL riders about who wouldn't be outclassed as replacements: Oliver Greenwood, Dan Greenwood, Ben Hopwood, Jake Knight, James Cockle, James Shanes, Tom Stokes, Danny Halsey (if he qualifies), Connor Mountain, Luke Priest!

Bring Lewis Dallaway out of retirement!

Having Kasper at reserve was Rye's main strength, if they lose that - will be near the bottom again!

Don't forget Ryan Kinsley (5.13) starts at reserve, wouldn't take much for him to hit a 6 ave!

Not sure about Cupitt, he's had a season in the NL & didn't manage to get above a 3.00 ave in the weakest NL season ever!

Don't know about that, looks a good team to me, if Clifton repeats his previous form then they have a good top 5! That would have been a sensational move!

Possibles! Lewis Blackbird 6.16 Tyson Nelson 6.16 Steve Boxall 6.15 Rasmus Jensen 5.92 Linus Eklof 5.50 Victor Palovaara 5.28

Ryan Douglas has always been much more impressive at home than away. Would struggle to hit 8.5 unless he can up his away form!

Slightly different situation though. Two scandinavians who came in on 7.00 ave's inly dropped a little then had potential to improve greatly in second season. Woffinden was a 3.00 wonderboy, who hit 8.00 and improved the next year also!

However if all PL clubs had priority, more riders would choose to move up to the EL full time to try to improve themselves!

What about Seb Ulamek (6.60)?

Not necessarily Magnus Zetterstrom dropped down to the PL with Somerset then later made the GP series! can't imagine that's happened with many riders though!

No. It was Ollie Greenwood who left Somerset before the start of last season. Dan Greenwood rode in 2 leagues last year! Either one would make a decent number 7 for the Monarchs!

I wouldn't say Kent couldn't win because of the points limit, they chose to go for a strong top 4 followed by 3 X 3.00 riders! Rye House did the same though and reached the play - offs (by finishing 5th)! I'm dissapointed that the playoffs are back, at the end of this year JPB rode for Buxton but guested for Birmingham in the gold cup, what's to stop a team signing a great 3 pointer who has just turned 15 and winning the league! Also i wouldn't agree with people saying the 40 point limit is too high, the average team should be 42 points at the end of the season regardless of how many teams or what the starting Ave is. so technically next years NL is weaker than this season's!

If Edinburgh wait till there are no 3 point places left, they shouldn't have to pay over the odds as they can say to the riders it's us or you're stuck racing NL only!

Not got an awful bottom 3 I reckon. Even if Roynon doesn't improve he'll still be a decent number 6, while Williamson is a fair number 7!
