Ever the optimist…..

If the rumoured limits are correct I can’t see a world that an Edinburgh team could fit Masters in sadly. With that in mind I’d be keeping Josh and speaking with Ritchie Worrall or Cookie. In the lower end of the team I’d be keeping Hook and probably giving Lee Complin a run at reserve if he fancied it. The middle order is tough and if you go with a 7.00 rider like Sedgmen or Thomson then your second strings are 4.00 riders really. 
 

Positivity only on this thread btw….. :)

I`d say there was more of a chance of Masters being at Edinburgh next season than Pickering. Complin bound for Birmingham as far as I know.

Your reading is worse than your maths

Just read it again, holy poops miss read that a bit ,  I was reading what I’d hope you’d say

I would genuinely hope that masters stays and then it’s a toss up between cookie or picko and I know for sure which way I’d go.

Masters with Cook (if we assume as rumoured Pickering is away) uses up about 50% of the points available. Would be a big gamble.

Have to agree with the Sam situation.  Still all based on rumour and speculation of course and still uncertain if Edinburgh will run in 2023 - but it does seem highly unlikely that any Championship team could afford to spend 10.58 on a No.1 and still be able to put a competitive team together, especially if the limit is reduced to 38.  Even a 9 point No.1 may well be a luxury if that was the case - possibly high 8s max.   Championship paying public look certain to be short changed yet again next year ?

If the rumours are to be believed then Birmingham are beating riders off with a stick they must be offering silly money, which I don’t blame riders for chasing.

Not silly money; just that they pay on time!

Agree with your last sentence.

I disagree, to get closer racing you want the gap from the top riders & bottom riders to be closer together.
