Leicester Lions 2022 Line up

[LionsFan 44]

What does being an asset actually mean? For example does it give Berwick any say in where Etheridge rides and does it last for as long as he rides or is sold on?

Presumably Berwick would receive a fee from Leicester in much the same way as football clubs when players are loaned out?

Probably a loan .Not many buy riders from other Clubs these days.

Asset does not really count for much nowadays, maybe a change after 4 years with us would benefit him.

At the same time though picked up a lot of unlucky injuries we all know he is a very capable rider an injury-free season would boost his average.

[Big Al 708]

The mission is to find another Perks and/or Douglas. But some additional experience would be very good, too.

Tell that to Redcar

Whilst I’m a big fan of Howarth and love his attitude, I think we need someone of Worrall’s stature for the other heat leader berth to give us the clout for the all important heats 13 & 15. For someone like that though, a rider with an average below 5.00 would be required for the final team position. Three strong heat leaders would be my approach, allowing for other team members sharing good and not so good meetings to provide the important additional points. This was the Poole model that won the league this year. I’m pretty sure that the Peterborough team structure that won the Premiership is likely to be a one off in terms of success.

Workingtons treble winning team in 2018 had the same structure as Peterborough this year

Glasgow 2011 wasn't a dissimilar make up either

Poole won the league with a strong top 3, Glasgow finished 2nd with a strong top 1+1/2 (2 with Ostergaard, 1 when he was injured), Leicester finished 3rd with a strong top 4, Edinburgh finished 5th with a strong top 3!

Heat leaders alone don't win leagues, Poole had points from reserve to!

God that's a tough choice. Like them both. Steve Worral went on this run of being unbeaten in something like 10+ races at Leicester. Whilst Richie won the league with us . Tough call.

Having released Kennedy I'd probably say they're looking at neither. I'd think Mr Dickson will be trying to keep the Thompson's at reserve to start the season anyway. Most likely see a 6ish and a 5ish or couple 5.5s IMO
