Maybe some people aren't as "savvy" with averages as you

Your option still works with Foord ya know 👍🏻

He'd be a 3.00,

Keep calm buddy 🫶🏻

Who do people think will be the last one ?

Think Hume is now obvious choice. Will be interesting to hear what happened regarding Gilkes- seems to be either he's signed elsewhere, but it doesn't look like Oxford need to build weak at reserve or maybe he's had a change of heart with the sport, which i really hope isn't the case as he's a great talent.

I think it is a wind up.

I think the last rider will be Dan Gilkes and I think they are keeping people guessing.

To be honest if it was a wind up and they just doing it to get social media buzzing then you would have gone with leaving Jack Holder out of the video to add extra to fuel to the rumours that where already circulating.

 

Personally think they will now turn to Luke Harrison

Hume or Gilkes doesn't really make much of a different to the side really. With Hume though you are getting a rider that gives absolutely everything,  which also is his downfall. Seen him fall off or lose out on points due to trying too hard. Still a good side but is heavily reliant on the top 4

I didn't pick up on that till months after it happened, can't believe the BSPL, referee or opposition team didn't notice at the time.

Team declaration regs and guest regs are totally different scenarios (whether they should be is another matter)

Don't even need a lawyer to work this one out ;)

Yeah the first part is very true, maybe would've been worthwhile if Jack hasn't gone back home to Australia yet & could come out as a surprise at the next fans event?

I kinda hope Harrison would say no, I feel it's far too early in his career for such a move & could destroy his confidence, though strangely don't have the same concerns about Foord, maybe because he appears to have such a cocky personality?

Danyon Hume is the highest averaged rider using a Champ conversion, although Gilkes has a higher Champ ave, mind you it's actually Joe Thompson who is the highest available Champ rider who could fill the spot with his 3 point Prem ave.

Bizarrely even though no one picked Nathan Ablitt as a "rising star" his average would be too high to fill the number 6 spot for Sheffield!

Maybe that should be a rule change of you qualify as a RS you should be available on a 3.00 in the Prem (for your first season)?

Who is available? Riders I can think of,

Luke Harrison 

Nathan Ablitt

Joe Thompson 

Vinnie Ford

Connor Bailey

Danyon Hume

Connor Coles

Jack Smith 

Paul Starke

Ace Pijper

Alfie Bowtell

Ben Trigger.

This assumes that any foreigners are a four point minimum.

Bowtell & Ablitt don't fit (according to my sums)
