There is a young Aussie currently riding in Poland Michael West that I feel will be a steal for the CL & maybe the new Czech sensation Adam Bednar I understand he is linked with the Dryml family so with their links with Oxford might steer him in that direction. Expand Can’t see Bednar being interest in GB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilly Posted October 18, 2024 Report Share Posted October 18, 2024 Killen confirmed Boughen confirmed Nicholls surely Scott will be one of the better riders starting on a 2pt average of any new riders coming up from the NDL(obviously Cairns will be the exception) Jenkins highly likely Masters seems to really enjoy riding alongside Nicholls, would be shocked if he moved on Then see what's left to play with.

Expand Let’s see if his ‘not planning a return’ philosophy holds up if he gets a call and is offered a full season in the UK. I can understand him not wanting to do it if he gets a call mid-season, but it would be hard to say no if he’s in from the start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My statement was purely regarding the personal development of Jody Scott. I don't want him to loose faith by trailing around at the back in CL match's. He needs to learn how to win races how to pass others & improve his starting. Oxford have overseen the development of many riders in the last 3 seasons & it has been a pleasure to watch them improve. However their rise is going to be overtime not overnight. which is why IMO Scott would be best taking guest bookings at CL level at the start of the season & continue honing his skill set in NDL All that said a lot depends on the points limit & weather or not Oxford need to track a 2.00 rider at reserve or a rider on a higher average Edited October 19, 2024 by Technik 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the reasons you gave are why Archie Freeman shouldn't have been Newcastle's reserve years ago, rather than a top NDL rider imo. Biggest downside of Scott remaining in the NDL & picking up Champ guest bookings is the lack of fixtures in the third tier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted October 20, 2024 Report Share Posted October 20, 2024 If it's a 40.00 limit then you won't get many teams better than this in the Championship if any. Two massive hitters with bags of experience plus 4 PREM reserves who've all got improvement left in them, No journeyman. 1. Masters 2. Boughen 3. Jenkins 4. Gilkes 5. Nicholls 6. Killeen 7. Scott = 39.85 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJC Posted October 20, 2024 Report Share Posted October 20, 2024 what about the other Killen at no7? Presumably he’d be on a 2 as well or will it be Scott then use Killen as a guest/no8 when needed like they did with Luke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
