Danish League

thats quite funny! Kings Lynn are also going to sign Robert Lambert now but not use him. Then they will encourage him to take out a German licence (EU rules atc etc) He will do really well ,perhaps get a GP call up etc etc Then in a couple of years bring him in on a 3 - after all thats what they signed him on! Yeah that should work - after all there will have been a precedent set in Brady Kurtz.

I will take a slighty different tack and suggest the best and worst averages each may end with. Richie Worrall - more than capable of kicking on to 9.50. Could suffer a bit of fatigue with increased international commitments causing a dip but even worst case no less than 8.25. Rohan Tungate - Could challenge for the No1 spot at 9. Falls into the promising but stagnates category a t 7. Morten Risager - Takes his chance and reaches 7.5. Misses out the purple patches and ends at 6. Cameron Heeps - Continues to flourish and gets to 8. Consolidates at 6.5 Gino Manzares - First season revelation and comes in at 6. Struggles paticularly away and hits 4.5. Adam Ellis - the 2014 Heeps at 6.5. 2nd season syndrome and 4.25 Ritchie Hawkins - Back to his best 5.5. Bruv forgets his fuel taps a few times and stays at 4. So in general great potential to improve and falls less likely.

It not about other Aussies coming in on a 3 before though. Where that has happened it has been within the rules as they havent previously ridden in Oz Championships or in other professional leagues. BK has and therefore shouldnt qualify. Its not really about how good or otherwise he is it is the fact that he clearly in the wrong category.

I took this to mean a League sponsor - money to clubs and then a tv coverage sponsor - majority money to Sky to offset production costs.

If Brady Kurtz is on a 3 you will need to include the Brit reduction for Cam Heeps too.

Cheers - looks approx 8.20 -very impressive and very cat 2. Edited to alter category number as I got it wrong - just like the current decision!

What average did Brady Kurtz achieve in the Danish League last year?

I take it you mean Brady Kurtz.Funny I thought 5 was bigger than 4.30! Wink

That was certainly the impression I got.Anyway water under the bridge - no point in dwelling on it too much now. I rather the next 4 months were about more postive points.

I think he did. 5.78 - but started on 5.64 didnt he?

Perhaps it is a bit harsh on him and in general many of my posts last season said as such. However there was an order change and it was down to that rift and results seem to indicate it unbalanced the team sonewhat. Like you say that sort of thing happens at many clubs but we dont need it again. Im sure all involved are mature enough to put it aside and get on with doing what needs to be done.

universal mediocrity - the watchword of modern Britain some would say! maybe the Anglian Cup!

I agree there us little on track to differentiate the 2 - perhaps Morten a bit more hot and cold. But I would say the biggest bone of contention is that it appears Morten upset the applecart with his attitude and that required a team order change that did us no favours at the sharp end of the season. If that issue is sorted then all well and good. I think we will be up there again challenging for a play off spot. Still see Worky as favourites so far.

The way I see it the reduction is for the 3 seasons after first attaining an average. So if first average was 2011 then reduction applies in 2012 2013 and 2014. If Birks fits that heshould get it too. That does mean Leighs ommission isnt due to the numbers game as he would fit for Morten. Unless of course they hadnt factored in the reductions until after he was signed. If so a schoolboy error.

possibly Adam as well unless the ruling only covers those riding when the general Brit reduction was phased out.

He must be pi$$ed by now!

why not all 7 Baldy?

They may get less say then.

If he worked at the Bournemouth Echo it would be public knowledge by now!

I am also hearing that I should decline the offer of poker from Jonny the Spud!!

I feel a bit mixed about this one. No doubt he has ability but if he comes in on a 7 it is quite a risk where there are other safe options available. If he comes in on a 5 then I think he is likely to improve on that but I dont agree that he should come in that low.

Thats certainly how it works with d/u but there is no precedent with the draft.

and what average did he attain or is he still assessed?

Thats exactly as I read the situation. Perhaps you could also explain how Brady Kurtz still qualifies for a 3 point average despite riding in Oz U21 and Denmark?
