Any news on jack smiths likely whereabouts for 2025

Been trying to get a team place for 10 years, so can't see him signing for anyone in 2025, yes Glasgow used him, but the numbers fitted

Yet people are insistent that there's a shortage of riders...

There's been so many in very recent years that have jacked it in after not finding a team or being bounced from team to team because of their average or performing too well...

Ben Trigger next?

All the while reducing the averages of foreign riders to help them get team places!

The "problem" is, in my opinion, there are quite a few NDL standard riders out there, it's just proving a too bigger step up to Championship level for a lot of them.  I think Newcastle tried 3, maybe 4 and none of them were ready for the Championship and I include Jack Smith in that.

this has been true for a while now - the only answer is to weaken the 2nd level which they will resist but for the good of the future it should be made to happen. It would also make Div 2 cheaper to run in theory

They have weaken the 2nd level over the last few seasons but there has been a increase in Admission Prices,that won’t attract more fans.

I think most of the admission prices increase is down to the running cost, fuel, tyres,utilities etc weakening the product just goes some way to offset this.

Not disagreeing but it won’t won’t attract more fans .IMO.Fans that already attend don’t really want too pay more for an inferior product.
