Don’t remember Tai pulling up trees when he last rode in the premier league or whatever it was called when he rode for Wolves.. 7.030 sounds fair to me. 

Id take a chance on that ave ....

I'd of thought he'd be assessed at an 8 being a GP rider same as Emil who had an average from yrs back, plus Laguta came in on an 8 also i think.

Bargain on that ...

His average is irrelevant - even if he was on 4.03, he's been signed to replace Holder ...

Who is the bigger name? 

Woffy...

Whose the better rider nowadays?

Jack..

A fair replacement, and another World Star to go and see...

Exactly what I suspect! But that's fine by me. A self-employed person doesn't need to justify decisions to take on additional work

Exactly.

As I said earlier: the average is irrelevant, he's replacing Holder.

It is because if it was to high they wouldn't fit him in ....

But I can't conceive how he could be assessed at anything higher than 8.00, so really never an issue.

Exactly, the 2 Russians have come in on assessed 8pt averages so Tai would be the same, and Holder is currently averaging 9 ish i think so not an issue, i personally thought the average was raised higher than an 8 for a GP rider after the Witches got Gollob in a low average yrs back, mind you it was yrs ago and the rules are always changing:D
