With Rowe as a rising star,,that has basically saved Ipswich about 1.5 pts on their team average.

That won’t be taken advantage of though if the team is the rumoured one!

They should take advantage.Rowe as a rs is a good move.Another loophole discovered maybe?

He has an average of 4.46 and in effect goes back down to a 3pt as this is what all rising stars would come into the team proper.

As he says on the official site, he was a 6 pointer at one point during the season before injury struck! Got a feeling he’ll be a real trump card.

Cook for Heeps?

Doyle

Doyle’s mate

Cook (sorry Taps)

Riss

King

Starke

Starke 4.58

Rowe *

That leaves 7.14, plus whatever reductions. That means either the rider we’ve been heavily rumoured to have signed in the last few days has fell through, or we haven’t signed either Riss or Heeps which the strong rumours indicated we had!

We surely haven’t built a couple of points under??

Could be that the rumoured change is actually in place of Riss

I can think of someone that fits the hole left and have heard rumblings about .......:o

Perfectly highlights the biggest flaw in the RS system

It's wrong that one team can gain such an advantage (potentially) even when it your own team!

I doubt anyone will have a problem with Rowe being a r/s cos that's what he would've been last year ..... he particularly likes Lynn too arghhhh

I heard a rumour about Holder last Wednesday,but thought he we go again,so without getting laughed at on here I wouldn't say it. But it's been brewing for days,it does join up with the Dots that Louis had a change of plan at the last minute,but its all rumour.

I'd love it if we got Holder in,but don't know who misses out,but clearly a deal for somebody has fallen through or Louis changed his mind.

I think Rowe and Starke at Reserve is decent,not convinced,but its decent.

Who the other 3 are remains to be seen as Danny will be a definite.

Hasn't Holder not signed to ride in Sweden which would rule him out of the UK?

I think the Starke signing is only a good one if he is riding down at no.6 

As we all know King is one

Did Musieleks sponsor put Sheffield up by mistake as he might be sponsored by Tru Plant but riding for Ipswich not Sheffield, I know that's highly unlikely but one can dream.

1. Doyle

2. ????

3.

4.

5. King

6. Starke

7. Rowe

Make or break time...

That could leave a Buczkowski & then Riss at reserve hole for the Panthers
