There would need to be some sort of grading if rising stars if all teams are going to have two, particularly if a couple of teams join the Prem to make it eight sides. For example Pailin, Mountain, Hume, Brennan, Flint, Rowe and Kemp to be shared out a d then another batch of rising stars to be chosen as number sevens such as Thompson twins, Bickley, Gilkes, Bailey, Edwards, Jenkins etc.

Agreed, you can't have teams filing reserve spots with rising stars and other teams having two newbies. 

How the cookie crumbles. Teams need to recruit quickly and effectively. I think if you go with one star riders you should get extra for the main body

They need to have rising stars under the category of 1-3 stars and their rating is taken into consideration for team building

So if a 45 limit and you want 2 x 3* rising stars you only have 39 points left for the main body, same if you went for 2 x 1* riders you'd then have 43 points to build a main body 

Agree completely panthers picked 1* Palin this season but saw nothing in return

I think Peterborough were great this year, and were fabulous to watch on tv and remarkable how all of the army probably found form they hadn't had for a few seasons and just gelled into a forceful team. I just wondered if it was a pinicle that can't be repeated again especially with the older riders and maybe need to keep some of the older team but need to bring in a couple of younger riders to freshen the team and spur the likes of Nicholls on again,  just a thought?

I think that the 2021 team had nothing really to prove as they had all seen it all and it is a very long time since we have seen a group of riders who have honed their craft, have in depth experience and actually seemed to be enjoying the day job and it showed in their determination in each race. Because of who they are and well respected, it was almost a throw back to when fans could relate to the team of riders with individual characters who made it fun again. Thanks Peterborough.

Theres going go be some soul searching decisions to be made and some may not be very popular,  but as the club as a whole can now be marketed as the current premiership league champions  to maybe entice some new youthful riders to join , the club must be in its strongest position  to do this for many a year,  just hope that Rob Lyon has a major input into the club especially concerning the riders to retain and any new recruits for the 2022 team .

Agree here.  Do the remaining riders have another year at the top in them will any of them follow Bjarne into retirement
