Maybe Jordan wasn't asked by Lynn,but I know he was their preferred choice at the end of the current season if he was a rising star for next season.

He was wanted last season, i can 100% tell you that,and i can confirm 100% he wasn't spoken to by Lynn at any stage for this season. So many rumours on here, which we all get sucked into, but the Jordan Jenkins scenario, I don't need to get involved in rumour on Jordan, they are Facts.

Boughen was always signing for Lynn as a R/S, all down to Chris Harris that one i'm afraid.

you dont need to be afraid

i think most lynn fans are pleased with him signing

he potentially has the highest ceiling of the 7 if his shutting off issues can be ironed out

I was merely stating that Jenkins and Flint were preferred at the end of the season,Lynn's season.Whether they were spoken to or not is a different matter.Remember our season finished  nearly 7 weeks ago so a lot of things must have changed in Lynn's thinking.But those two were definitely preferred at the end of our season and that is a fact too.It doesn't mean they done anything about it,which obviously they haven't.

Just on the selection process? I think it's fair if the bottom club got first pick.... I think Bham would've gone for Jenkins  then Edwards? 

But we'll never know I guess.

Certainly happy with Edwards over Flint!

I don't like the pick process personally.Like i have said before riders should be able to go where they want.But as we do have these so called rules you would think they would have adhered to them.Surely if the pick is done fairly then all rising stars should be known to all clubs before the pick is started,and not all of a sudden when 3 clubs have made a pick make another one available.

That cannot be denied imo, but if I was a Lynn fan my priority would be having the strongest RS for 2025, not having a potential future GP rider. Unless he was your own asset of course.

Agreed, if he can iron out that shutting off issue with the help of Bomber then he’s the best rising star in the league by a long way

yeah thats kind of what i meant

by the end of the season he could be the best if he develops as he could 

imo edwards jenkins & flint have possibly peaked and mulford & hagon arent as good 

kileen could also be the top rs if he carries on his trajectory

Edwards end of season Championship GSA:

2021: 2.22

2022: 3.90

2023: 4.67

2024: 6.34

Peaked! 🤔

that's more progress than Dan Thompson or Anders Rowe  have they peaked too?

Look at Anders Rowe’s progression

2023: 5.95

2024: 7.76 (4 meetings)

If I was in the Championship I know which one I’d rather have…

It is a problem. A sports psychologist might help..

 If he can shake it off, great , he should average 3.....

Agree Edward’s firmly on an upward trend but can’t agree he’s progressed more than Dan t or rowe.

dan t went from 4.86 to 7.55 last season in the champ

But you are taking a single year. Since 2021 Dan has gone from 5.05 to 7.55.

A lot of people were describing Dan as 'going nowhere, progress stalled etc' a year ago (which is one of thre reasons I think people should stop slagging Flint off). Dan got back on track this season, but Edwards has never been 'off track' hence he's improved by more than Thompson.

@arnieg was replying to a comment about "rising stars" who had "possibly peaked" correctly pointing out that wasn't the case for Edwards.

Comparing Edwards to Rowe & Dan T is kinda irrelevant in this instance as the discussion was based on who would end up the strongest "rising star". 

It's now turned into a "who has improved the most" discussion, but it didn't start out like that lol!

In my humble opinion Anders Rowe out of three is by far the strongest rising star and has the highest ceiling

By a mile!! Sheffield are getting a very good rider, if he’s at 6... if he’s at number 2 then it won’t be as easy

Dan Thompson didn’t even feature in the championship in 2023 bar two meetings for Birmingham averaging 3.50. 2024, 18 meetings, 7.88. I’d say that’s even greater progression.

“By far” LOL. Calm down.

Agree. What they seem to be ignoring is Dan Thompson this year spent most of this season in the main body of the side, (rising star I might add), Rowe sat in his comfy number 7 berth all year bar the last meeting or two at the end of the season. 0.72 between them. Thompson is also two years younger than Rowe so I’m not sure about the “highest ceiling” either or what that’s based on. Nobody can predict who has a higher ceiling, some riders progress some don’t so it’s all guesswork. The current stats though are there for all to see.
