stumper 18 Posted October 4, 2021 (edited) Would love to see Ryan Douglas at the EWR, time after time he proves he is absolutely quality around there. Would be brilliant to have him back in a scorpions jacket. I think alot will depend on the Rising Star situation, however a team built around Douglas, Allen, Jorgensen and Palin would be great IMO. Then as it seems Lambert looks set to stay, that would leave 2 places, and probably not a lot to work with. If the rumours around Gilkes are true I would be very happy with him as a scorpion. 1. Douglas 2. Lambert 3. Allen 4. 5. Jorgensen 6. Palin 7. Wouldn't mind seeing Broc Nicol as a scorpion but doubtful the averages would work out.

Yeah agreed think it will be difficult to get Ryan back though especially with David Howe on the spanners for him who I think has fell out with Rob. Just thinking as well I do think they said that if the rising start system was going ok it would be expanded to 2 rising stars per team so that could be on the cards as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just thinking as well I do think they said that if the rising start system was going ok it would be expanded to 2 rising stars per team so that could be on the cards as well I have a suspicion re rising start that might be extended to 5*. And maybe each CH team has to have 2 who can add up to no more than say 7. So maybe flint and Brennan for example become 5* and if wish to have them as such have to use a Crang or a Blair as other reserve? It's just a theory but think would encourage teams to use British riders as on potentially lower averages and doesn't make sense for riders to only be in RS system for only 1 year.

Diamonds85 699 Posted October 4, 2021 Using this season's rules/team limits (Which I know won't be the same next year) This fits... I haven't accounted for a 2.5% reduction for Jordan and the averages aren't final, but it's interesting to see what is possible... Also, if you wanted Dan Gilkes at reserve, swap Josh for Ryan Kinsley (3.00) and then you could have up to a 3 Star reserve, which I believe Dan will be next season 1. Ryan Douglas 8.04 2. Simon Lambert 5.98 3. Jake Allen 7.72 4. Jordan Palin 5.84 5. Thomas Jorgensen 7.28 6. Josh MacDonald 4.00 7. 2 Star Reserve (Not Dan Gilkes) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can exactly remember but at a pre season meet the riders a few years someone mentioned him and he said we dont talk about him anymore maybe time will might see them happy to work together as Ryan is lethal round the EWR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lewis 76 Posted October 4, 2021 I will have a go, 3 heat leaders, 2 riders improving every year in Connor and Jordan, a solid reserve and a reserve who can ride our track. All pie in the sky I know with Connor being happy at Newscastle but a team I really like 1. Adam Ellis 7.66 2. Connor Mountain 5.19 3. Jake Allen 7.72 4. Jordan Palin 5.90 5. Thomas Jorgensen 7.28 = 33.75 with no reductions for being British 6. Dan Gilkes 2* 7. Ryan Kinsley 1* (3.00 av) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tosh1218 592 Posted October 4, 2021 I’m sure meetings between promoters up and down the land have already been taken and agreed . But with this season still running in the Premiership and championship getting towards the final playoffs there won’t be any concrete news on next seasons set ups until this seasons finals are complete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
