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?

4BenMoran Posted 11 hours ago Report Share Posted 11 hours ago Pretty sure Jack Smith will be a number 1 in NDL team, so might end up with odd Championship guest booking and get a slot somewhere replacing an under performing 2-3 pointer when changes start being made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the while reducing the averages of foreign riders to help them get team places! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would also make Div 2 cheaper to run in theory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
