Looks to me like Chas may have the same mindset that he had when racing for Berwick last year. Strange that he totally upped his game when he signed for Newport... Just a theory, but perhaps Berwick and Rye House offered him guaranteed money (as I know Len does for all the rest of the side) plus money on top for extra points gained, whilst Newport were offering a different deal with less guaranteed and more money per point?
I don't see Jordan as a number one, so we could have to rely on Chas to sort himself out and start riding like he did for the Wasps last year!
