Rolling average 5.50 .............. 2019 5.33 As you can see some are better some are worse. A quick comparison of club websites averages and the official rolling averages will see besides a few exemptions that most riders averages from most clubs are all slightly different. Grading would bring a better reflection of ability than rolling averages currently do imho. So the biggest discrepancy is Iversen and your logic would say he should now be 6.97 (from a few rushed end of season fixtures) rather than the 7.54 rolling average over his last twenty matches? He’s a GP rider and anyone signing him next year on 7.54 should have a bargain! 6.97 would be plain daft. I think that proves that rolling averages are pretty good. Grading is just averages made inaccurate and subjective. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

James Shanes 3.00 GBR 7. Ellis Perks 3.48 GBR Fill in the number 2 spot with Josh Pickering or Jordan Stewart and it's a pretty good team I wonder if Keynan Rew would do a job... Or maybe one of the young Aussies that rode for Sheffield last year? Lots of options and that tail isn't too bad... Especially of Jordan Stewart is the option... Great rider and I think many would be surprised how entertaining and solid he really is... As has been mentioned... Hopefully Rasmus' year last year wasn't just a one off purple patch... Or the promotion are screwed xD Can Anders Rowe come in on a 2.00? If so, swap him for Shanes and put Claus Vissing or Kristian Pieszczek at number 2? Might be a bit early of Anders, but it would be a nice challenge for him... Basis of a decent side .......simply no Musielek and Vissing replaced by say Stewart and Shanes , shows how much weaker this Swindon team will be next season but nothing can be done about that, its what success brings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I assume not... Because Swindon could be just slowly revealing last years 1-7 again Think regardless they will do good next year, with Doyle and Batch as the top 2, probably easily the best top 2 in the league (Saying that and I'm not particularly a fan of either) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But, did they, perhaps, allow two riders over 8.00 and a 2 point rider as a concession to Swindon? Edited November 26, 2019 by Grachan 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And when you say it won't happen again...do you mean signing the right rider at the right time? Kind of like Musielak in 2017. Surely lightning can't strike twice? Or would that make it three times? Hopefully it won't need to happen again, as if it can be a Stewart type signing in there then I think we'll be ok Not really. Even with the Musielak signing in 2017 didn't win you the title if you're going to be honest. Swindon only won the title because the Wolverhampton side suffered injury after injury to the point they were left with no heat leaders. Realistically you got handed the title in 2017. With reductions of 2.5%. Tail end will get ripped to shreds imo. No.7 has to be on a 3.00 or above. So 4.06 or 4.17 left (Possibly less) for a second string to ride with Doyle.
