And Fast Freddie has always said he'd come back to Monmore before he retires. Not sure what average he would return on though.                    

Doubt he would now with his health problems (Long covid issues)

Are we show-casing any new Euro prospects / new team members for 2023 in the prestigious staging of the Olympique tonight? 

Or is it Chris Harris and Scotty Nicholls for a change? :blink:

I like Paco a lot, but is he really good enough for the Premiership?

1. Sam Masters

2. Josh Pickering

3. Ryan Douglas

4. Jacob Thorsell

5. Luke Becker

6. 4.11 Left assuming 39 point limit remains

7. Leon Flint

I'd shake things up a little bit, bring in a new face with Josh (hugely entertaining rider and best mates with Sam and Ryan, also team mates with both in Poland and with Sam in Edinburgh so they'd have good chemistry in pits etc)

Bring back Jacob, he's the type of rider British speedway desperately needs to get back, brilliant rider in this country, and lets be realistic we ain't getting world champ level riders over here so Jacob would be one of the better riders imo

Stevie seems to have done a good enough job as a second string but someone needs to give average wise and Drew seems to have fallen out of favour at Wolves from what I can tell? I'm guessing Nick will probably be back but who knows, he might end up at Leicester?

Not sure who the 4.00er could be? Perhaps a new Aussie, either not in this country yet or from the CL, or maybe even a Dane like Seifert-Salk?

Douglas can't ride Monmore and can't see him being back - think he will be seeking pastures new of his own accord.

Thorssell has been rubbish on the continent so wouldn't entertain having him back as he seems to be past his best.

Looks like looking at a couple of Aussies with Ben Cook and Jacob Hook there tonight. Be interesting to see how Ben does. I will be looking in on updates to see how the Poole boys are getting on.

Wolves could use a few changes, freshen things up a to bit. Is Tai Woffinden going to be back in the UK next season?

Castagna is a reasonable second strong in the Championship but he's never going to be any more than that!

Thorsell be on 8.5ish average and his scores in Elitserien haven't been good.

Unlikely.  Woffinden said he'd only sign for Belle Vue if he only had to ride home matches.  Signed for Vastervik in Sweden and will be in Ekstraliga, along with GP's that will be enough for him you'd think.

Would Morris prefer to stay at Leicester?
