thebaron 434 Posted November 30, 2023 (edited) Kyle Howarth on 7.76 (after a 2 5% discount) would be a decent signing imo. More recently he hasnt revelled at the EWR as he did. But riding it regularly he can be a big scorer for us. He is the Sheffield Captain as well and a team cannot have too many leaders. See on the Plymouth thread they are saying hes signed for us. With Lambo back and Howarth thats a fair start to the 2024 building. I cannot see any sense in Jake not being back with us on 7.16 ?. He can push on in 2024, again he a hitter around Scunny and great to watch. Nathan Abliitt 3.00 must be in our thinking ? He certainly impressed at times around Scunny and can up his average in 2024. We have to include a Rising Star Brit at reserve so Luke Harrison looks to have Robs backing for that place. Quick round up then . Howarth 7.76, Jake 7.16, Lambo 5.87, Nathan 2.93, Luke H 2.00 I've discounted the British riders (except LH) by 2.5% to arrive at those figures = Total 25.72. Leaving 12.28 for the remaning two riders. Connor Mountain comes in on an adjusted 5.28. So that would leave 7.00 for the final place - Tommy Jorgensen would fit on his 6.39 Championship average but there will be a question mark with him coming back from serious injury last season. ? Tofty on 7.01 is just over if we include Connor? Unless we can shed 0.01 of a point somewhere ? Or do we look to Zaine Kennedy on a bargain 4.27 from 2022 leaving us 8 01 for the final rider. Got to say thats the option I would favour. I think someone on the thread has ruled out a possible Scunny return for Steve Worrall who would be a perfect No1 for us ?. With the numbers as they are its unlikely to involve any move for Josh Pickering (even if he was available?). "Just" looking down the averages there is another Aussie that we might have an eye on ? Usually goes well around Scunny and with Birmingham going Premier might be a contender ? .. Justin Sedgeman 7.69 ? So how about K Howarth 7.76, J Sedgeman 7.69, J Allen 7.16, S Lambert 5.87, Z Kennedy 4.27, N Ablitt 2.93, L Harrison 2.00 Total 37.68 Edited November 30, 2023 by thebaron Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emerson 0 Posted November 30, 2023 My figures may be wrong but I have used the last Green Sheet figures and applying the 5% reduction for British riders I get a total of 37.46 for Howarth 7.57, Mountain 5.15, Lambert 5.72 Allen 7.16, Palm Toft 7.01 Ablitt 2.85 and Harrison 2.00.

SteelShoe 500 Posted December 7, 2023 Very good signing for Scunny. Already shows race acumen beyond his years, a very level headed young man who should go far in the sport. Thank you for your time at Worky last season. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
