Not sure Leicester would go with 2 green reserves but hard to argue with the strength of the side. Foord, Springer and James all got plenty of improvement in those averages

You could say Leicester are technically going with 3 green reserves.

Be tough for whoever starts in the top 5.

Depends on if workington spitting their dummy out causes a north south split or not

I can't imagine why anything should change, if Workington weren't happy they should have brought it up before the rules were agreed & announced.

Now some riders have 2 clubs, can't see how anything can change. Certainly Leicester's southern based riders won't want it to.

Max perry confirmed for the cubs. It's great to see the club backing the kids again. A talented bunch of riders with bright futures. It's not about winning in the NDL. Clues in the name. It's development. Leicester have been doing that for a number of years now. Winning titles is just a bonus in my eyes.

Leicester always has at this level, they always put a very young team out on track.

Nice to see Perry back after a disruptive year for him. He seems a nice guy with good potential and I’m sure he can push Trigger for that number 1 spot. 
 

A top heavy team, but lots of potential throughout the team. Headlined at the bottom end by Rushen but even Springer had a fantastic first year that kind of went unnoticed given how strong the Cubs team was overall.

What are we thinking Rushen will do next year? 4 point average? 6? 8? How good of a prospect really is he? I've got to be honest, other than hearing his name I know nothing about him.

Having watched a considerable amount ov youth racing I'd rate Rushen higher than Vale and Springer, both of whom averaged in the region of six in their debut season.

Sounds promising. I've only seen him once at Plymouth, and he spent more time on the grass than he did the track. Still won the meeting though!! Hopefully he has a good season.

Nothing green about Rushen who has raced at levels far higher than many in the side already. Can easily see him taking 6 rides a meeting with Meadows and Ingram getting 3 (yes its development league etc but it still relentlessly happens) until the first averages come out and then the cubs might have a struggle at reserve. Power top 5 though who might squabble amongst themselves for points.
