I'd personally pick: Borke, Proctor, MacDonald, Roynon or Nielsen before Clegg. All of those would be poor signings compared to what you could have at reserve.

But from the rumours on here he's going to Berwick anyway. Clegg and Roynon wouldn't be that bad either. Not so sure on Nielsen, MacDonald or Proctor though... Especially the latter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TTT 1,229 Posted December 24, 2023 By the process of elimination I think Vissing, Rowe and Gilkes are the final three and they fit perfectly. Borke & Hodder -> Berwick Sedgmen/Riss + Castagna & Fredriksen -> Edinburgh (Rumours Riss isn't doing the Championship so likely Sedgmen) MPT & Mountain -> Scunthorpe 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Workington Craig Cook 8.52 Claus Vissing 6.24 Anders Rowe 5.80 Annti Vuolas 5.00 Tate Zischke 5.00 Dan Gilkes 4.84 Sam McGurk 2.00 Total 37.40 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Depends though, if you keep mentioning riders who rode in the Championship in 2023 probably not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neila 1,162 Posted December 24, 2023 That's a solided looking side, yep no 3rd heat leader as such but the league is watered down so some of these guys could score 5-8 points no bother, look what happened in 2018 when no one predicted the comets to finish where they did !!!
