Your figures are not across the whole season - only one match after 20 July. Post season in this context means after completion of regular league matches

Post season Ben Cook averaged 7.13 from five away matches (none at reserve).

20 is too many . Matches from July last year will still be in Championship averages at end of next season. I'd rather have 16 for both leagues than different rules for Prem and Champ.

How much did they pay for their semi final spot?

Agree with you on Kasprzak. We know KK is inconsistent. But he's still a force in the Ekstraliga and I think a lot of people are underestimating him.

This is a non debate, like many before him I would expect Morris to be no more than back up for Grindsted, riding the odd match when Birmingham don't have a fixture.

It has been under discussion, and given Armadale are ru n8ng I think k it is highly likely that it will go ahead.

Does this mean Armadale have got their wish to include Jacob Hook?

Can't see him making many appearances given Birmingham race day is Weds.

What - bunch of Clowns who've never won a serious competition?

Gillman 300m Mildura 302m Kurri Kurri 320m North Brisbane 350m Pinjar Park 300m (big track), 142m (small track)

Not having rider in a GP qualifier since 2017 might have more to do with it.

Still 4th in the away averages (Musielak, Kurtz move above him)

Masters had the highest average (official fixtures exc bonus) of any rider in the Premiership last season bar Jason Doyle. How the hell is he not a number one?

Another thing that makes the Poole offer attractive is that near certainty of extra meetings as they are pretty much nailed on for the play-offs most seasons

Add in Kubera, Kolodziej and home advantage and they look crushingly strong to me.

Good news

Just an approximate date would be helpful, like ... ... which decade?

Most of the difference in their Championship scores was down to Hume riding half his matches at reserve. Very little t9 choose between them, I'd be happy to have either of them in any team I supported.

Jonas or Jesper?

And Doyle is so frequently quoted because he is the EXCEPTION to the general rule. Mentioning his name does nothing to disturb the well established fact that riders generally improve with age and so it is perfectly reasonable to assume that a 19 year old with a 7 point average is likely to be better than a 23 year old. with a lower average. Both Cook's and Flint are good prospects (but nothing like as hot as Gusts, Przeymski, Kvech or Blodorn).

Which rather proves my point how much better than MOST Premiership riders Bellego is.

Looking at their 2022 results there is little to split Bellego and Ellis, so given that Bellego could end up a heat leadercat Ellis' expense I don't see how you can consider him to weak as a second string. Remember Bellego rides in the Polish Ekstraliga which is more than you can say for most Premiership heatleaders.

Jake Turner is a New Zealander, but has been based in Adelaide for the last 3 years or so. I think I saw him once at Wolverhampton.

Claus Vissing 10 Sam Jensen 9 Tobias Thomsen 8 - it's a bit weaker than the CL.
