He’s only a 1 star rated rider ? I would have thought the 6 prem clubs would have gone for the 3 star riders at least, I hope he goes well for us but I can’t see him beating Tom bacon or Tom Brennan or drew kemp 

Tom Bacon is a Peterborough asset and graded 4*, Jordan Palin is neither.....

I'd rather seeing Palin improve and benefit from a season in the top flight, who's young and could make it far in the sport. Bacon might make a reserve in the top division but otherwise can he really improve.....

I just don’t really get the whole star system, if you build a team to a certain average and then choose a rider from a list that doesn’t affect the team building average why not just choose the 4 star riders ? 

I get that, it doesn't make much sense to me. Should have just been 4,3,2 and 1 on the averages.

Bates and Brennan will be the best by far, then Bacon, Kemp, and Pailin/Kinsley afterwards.

So do we not get more team points to play with? 

As far as I know we don’t get any more team points to play with by using a 1 star rider, that’s what doesn’t make sense to me. By picking a “4 star” rider your clearly having an advantage over picking a “1 star” rider yet we still only have 35 odd points to play with for the rest of the team

I'm surprised Peterborough went for Palin, while he's very promising must be one of the weakest "rising stars" and if he has a sensational season he'll be at Belle Vue next year!

He's what a rising star should be and maybe one of the weaker ones on paper/grade, but think he will have a good season and hopefully sensational. If he does go back to BV the following year at least Peterborough will have had a promising youngster who's had a sensational season I suppose.
