Imo not good enuf for championship,  has not improved from early days when he was on super fast engine's in the lower tier , now caught out in championship 

It's a funny 1 because he has got all the ability, kit and imo he still can kick on but he's running our of time

Rothery and Millar shown zero commitment and complete waste of places. Can't see Pijper anywhere other than Berwick. Sadly the higher points limit is going to expose the disparity between the top and bottom ends again this season.

While the points limit is higher, the league isn't any stronger as each season teams on average should end up at 42.

I'm hoping not lowering the limit will stop riders improving, upping their average & therefore missing out on a team spot!

Its a classic six of one situation....without the movement of riders into, through and onwards from the NDL it becomes very stale. That said lower points limits creates artificially increased averages that can see riders frozen out. Whatever the limit it would be nice if it was consistent year on year (or at least a shown formula or team limit vs teams in the league).

Sure he's not

If he is it implies that October matches are not included in green sheets.

In which case there is an incredibly irrational inconsistency. Ashton Boughen's October fixtures count towards him getting a 4 match average, but Roynon's don't.

Play off meetings only count for riders who have not yet achieved an average. So Ashtons meetings count and Adam's don't , this was a major discussion point for a few young riders

 Nearly right. 

Plymouth out

Mildenhall to confirm or not

Bit surprised about Armadale, hopefully they and Mildenhall find solutions

We’re struggling with rider availability this year. Not enough riders good enough unfortunately to ride NDL along with lack of availability of heat leaders. Unless they can find a competitive side to put together it’s not financially worth it.

Another northern track opening (especially running on a weekend daytime) is always going to a lure to riders. Throw in that Armadale isn't everyone favourite track and uncertainty over its future it will always be tricky to put a side together at the start BUT there will be plenty of riders on the phone once a few spits at other tracks start filling up.

I know that but Roynon's fourth match was an ordinary league match  - yet apparently it doesn't count

Jake Mulford won't be back at Belle Vue with signing for Redcar, maybe he will be an option, Redcar friday night, Workington Sat afternoon.

Sat afternoon is still tough with Grasstrack Sundays. 

Belle Vue can remove Mulford, re-sign the remaining 6 plus a new 3 pointer and still start favourites.
