Heard this consortium wanting to run Premiership at Oxford in 2026 under another name have looked at Oxfords historical rival clubs in Swindon and Reading, not sure how much the locals would support and if those from either club no longer running would travel that far for a ‘home’ meeting. Maybe a more generic name like ‘Thames Valley Titans’ (other nicknames are available 😜)
Can’t see Pickering keeping that average especially if at 1 or 5, his away form over last few seasons has been bang average, its his Owlerton form against weaker teams that has inflated his average, but could see Jack maintain his and Chris improve his by 0.5, well that’s my thoughts anyway 😆
Morris and Killeen at Leicester
Sheffield will need to decide if it’s both Holders or its no Holders as they come as a pair not.
Personally I’d keep Jack at 1 and Chris at 5 and let Pickering have a season elsewhere, Rowe and Flint will be back for 2026 at 2 and 4, love to see Musielak back at 3, then Etheridge at 6 and someone like Harrison or Abblitt at Rising Star
