Should be 21 and Under.

Looking back on it, Bewley to Ipswich must have been in the pipe line for some time. Richard Coleman hinted straight away at dual contracts in the Wroclaw agreement (Knew what he was doing) Then he denied having an interest in signing Dan Bewley (Bluffing) Jason Doyle was rumoured to be Plan B for Ipswich with Kacper Woryna rumoured to be a main target. Kacper Woryna deal goes quiet and Doyle to Ipswich is back on. Logic says Brennan lost his place due to Mayfield missing out on Woryna because Doyle's GSA is over a full point higher than Woryna's rumoured assessed average of 7.50. After the pivot to Doyle happend it resulted in at least a full point needing to be shaded off the 2nd string department and Brennan would've been the only option due to Bewley and King being in all along.

Unfortunately we don't have many top riders over here to a point where every Club has at least one. Personally I'd like to see Lambert at King's Lynn because it'll be good for the League and it'll help when it comes to a TV deal. My King's Lynn 1-7's so far are poor, I agree but as always I'll only build realistic sides rather than top sides that feature riders who aren't likely to be available. As a starting point I have to take the Kurtz (Belle Vue), Doyle and Bewley (Ipswich), Musielak (Northampton) and J. Holder (Sheffield) info into account when building my sides.

Won't be 22 until Mid-April and the season normally starts just before then.

All of the big hitters are gone If Fricke goes back to Leicester and Lambert doesn't ride in Britain. Could be looking at another strength in depth side if the above happens. 1. J. Kvech 6.76 2. N. Klindt 5.76 3. B. Cook 6.62 4. C. Harris 6.38 5. R. Lawson 6.63 6. C. Rushen 4.74 7. J. Scott (RS) = 36.89

I'd take a punt on Reid Battye if Kyle Howarth isn't an option.

Luke Killeen would qualify for a -25% reduction if he rides as a No.6 as it would be his first year out of the Rising Star Scheme. Team 1 1. J. Holder 8.75 2. K. Howarth 4.63 3. T. Brennan 5.76 4. L. Flint 5.99 5. J. Pickering 8.27 6. L. Killeen 3.00 (Minimum PREMIERSHIP Average) 7. Rising Star = 36.40 Team 2 1. J. Holder 8.75 2. A. Rowe 5.92 3. T. Brennan 5.76 4. L. Flint 5.99 5. C. Holder 7.25 6. L. Killeen 3.00 (Minimum PREMIERSHIP Average) 7. Rising Star = 36.67

May look like a long tail on paper but it won't be once Clubs start announcing signings due to the 2027 rule in regards to U21 riders. Drew Kemp's head goes from time to time but he's got so much experience in the PREM to a point where all he has to is clean up the easy points against your out of depth Rising Stars and flaky foreign U21 riders who wouldn't have ridden a British track before. Will Cairns is head and shoulders above some of the names being branded for reserve spots next season to a point where he's certain to clean up the vast majority of the time and every Club knows it as well hence the bidding war over him when it comes to the Top 3 Clubs in Britain who always feature in the Play-Offs. All Danny King has to do is 7/8 Points a night, Nothing flashy like a 10+1 will be needed, Just solid consistency will do the job because Doyle, Bewley and Cairns should be around the 29/30 Pts a night mark. Therefore Kemp, Foord and the other 2nd String will only need to get 10 between them to win.

I wish Tom all the best and even though it won't be at Ipswich, I still hope to see him get back to his best. Been a rollercoaster journey at Ipswich for Tom, The highest of high's and the lowest of low's but the good times will always be the ones that are remembered. Think that pretty much confirms the Dan Bewley deal as well tbh. Something had to come from the Wroclaw Agreement when Richard Coleman was hinting at dual contracts in the Press release.

Latest word doing the rounds is that Tom is off to Sheffield and that Bewley is heading to Ipswich in a top heavy side.

No rumours of Rushen being in (As of yet) but it's interesting that this Team = 37.00 exactly and it features 6 rumoured riders. Also if Doyley runs on a ACU license would he qualify for the 2.5% Reduction? If he would qualify then JD would be on a 8.40. 1. J. Doyle 8.62 2. C. Rushen 4.73 3. D. King 7.17 4. D. Kemp 4.92 5. D. Bewley 8.56 6. W. Cairns 3.00 7. V. Foord (RS)

What average would C. Holder be on?

Jake Mulford as the No.6?

Wasn't it Vinnie Foord after a debate about whether he was allowed to guest or not?

Drew Kemp isn't in Leicester's plans for 2027. Witches tail has Kemp, Cairns and a Rising Star written all over it tbh and I'd be very happy with that tbh.
