arnieg 3,644 Posted December 20, 2022 2 hours ago, Gambo said: James Wright's starting average for 2022 was 5.20. His final average for 2022 was 5.65. Which is made up of his 6 Scunny appearances (30 rides 42 pts) this year plus his last 4 matches for Newcastle in 2021 (21 rides 30 points) 72/51*4 = 5.65 QED Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
proud panther 1,505 Posted December 20, 2022 Looks a poor team in my opinion. Fair play to the promoter for running for another season. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ljriley90 47 Posted December 21, 2022 How come pearson doesnt get a reassessed average for 2023 after last year? Imo brum would have been better going with a 2.00 reaerve and using the extra 2 points to find a rider in the low 6s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its the 10 plus Morris that's going to have the biggest negative impact. I would have sacrificed Bowtell for a 2 pointer and got a stronger replacement.

You lacked a No.1 last season, be happy you've got one for 2023. And barring injury he'll be there for the whole season. A 2pt reserve would put a lot of pressure on Pearson, who looked out of his depth last season. But's been doing well in Oz. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevehone 3,430 Posted December 21, 2022 Pearson is a much better rider on the European tracks, if he can bring that form to Birmingham he'll do ok Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We lacked a regular No.1 due to 'crap' team building...but we had some great guest appearances to compensate! I'm neither happy, or sad....I'm just expressing an opinion and I think so far as team building goes, 10 points on Morris is a mistake, unless you've got a Scott Nicholls to give him support ....

You've got Justin to back Nick up, will do just as well, if not better than an Scott Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
