Technik Posted November 30 Report Share Posted November 30 I'd like him to race at this level. My theory is that he will learn faster how to control & win races & as a senior rider how to help or protect a team mate for the benefit of his team. Racing at a lower level can be a confidence building exercise & also will mean he will be expected to return double figure scores most meetings where in the higher leagues with less pressure on him a line of zeros is put down to a whole manner of reasons & the result is confidence will drop & as so many times before a fantastic young talent may walk away. I always say young riders should exploit the lowest league they can for as long as they can. you can practice on an empty track for as long as you like but it's not racing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds85 Posted November 30 Report Share Posted November 30 Is the 3 league rule still a thing? I read someone say somewhere that Sam Hagon was ineligible to race in the NL but I dunno why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3 league rule only lasted one year, Hagon is ineligible because his Champ average is over 4. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not aware of the over 4 average rule, I assumed there'd be some rules in place, I just didn't know what they were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds85 Posted November 30 Report Share Posted November 30 Question then. Does that mean Luke Harrison and Jake Mulford are both ineligible for the NDL too, given that both of their averages are above 4.00 in the CL. Or because they currently have NDL averages are they allowed? Also is it just the final averages that count? Jack Smith had an average over 5 at one point but is now below 4, would he be eligible.

Don't know why the need for secrecy? If they spotted a flaw & feel the 4 point rule was a mistake, just explain why it changed & harp on about the reason being for DEVELOPMENT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that there really is no need for secrecy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Killeen 9.87 2. Senna Summers 3.44 3. Ashton Vale 6.17 4. Rhys Naylor 4.13 5. Jason Garrad 8.36 6. 3.03 7. Declan Killeen 3.00 Pure speculation as I don't know why Jody wasn't included in the cheetahs. I'd also love to see a team with both Killeens in.

Chairboy Posted December 4 Report Share Posted December 4 Is it not likely that Mitch McDiarmid will be in the Chargers team? Surely he wouldn't come over just to do one league? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
