szkocjasid Posted October 16, 2023 Report Share Posted October 16, 2023 Trying to pick a team where all riders have a Workington connection: Workington Craig Cook 8.52 Richard Lawson 8.48 Thomas Jorgensen 6.39 Connor Bailey 5.23 Ty Proctor 4.00 Ace Pijper 3.17 Luke Harrison 2.00 Total 37.79 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd certainly prefer an RS rule to be under 3.50, feel it's a shame if the riders just above 2 (up to Pijper) could miss out. I think they'll have riders like Pijper and Trigger, Harrison who have had a valiant attempt too early on a Rising Star rating so that they can be assured of another bash and not penalised for getting teams out of a mess.

I hope many of this years team can be in next years line up , this would mean a weaker championship but maybe that is a good thing. One thing I do know Is the promotion at Northside have put a lot of work in to making this season a success , so well done to Andrew Bain , Steve Lawson and the many people behind the scenes who work tirelessly every week. Connor and Ace had Championship places this season. I can see Luke Harrison and Sam McGurk possibly securing a berth next season. The Championship even watered down is a tough step up. Even though we have had the pleasure of watching some great young talent this season who have often outshone older team mates admission costs will rise and with it fans expectations. I would like to think that in the absence of the NDL something will be created that will still allow young riders the opportunity to race and develop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allthegearbutnaeidea Posted October 16, 2023 Report Share Posted October 16, 2023 Cook, Bach, Jorgensen, Bailey, ?, ?, S McGurk would be my guess at a start too possible team building. I think Harrison is away to Redcar and Pijper will be at Glasgow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2015 Edinburgh started with 2 x 3.00 riders (Branford & Clegg) when they didn't have to have any, the following year every team had to include a 3.00 rider, so what happened Edinburgh had to drop one of their 3.50 averaged reserves. I hope a similar thing doesn't happen to Hagon / Trigger! I realise there has to be a cut-off for rising stars, but I hope it's not 2.00.

Has bedded in remarkably well this season. Testament to Steve Lawson’s hard work. Interesting to see how CL heat leaders ride it. A good few lines. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
