I'm not sure predicting a rider, available on 4.10, and who's averaged: 2017 - 7.10 2018 - 6.80 2019 - 7.39 2021 - 6.58 adding 2 points to his average in a weaker league is my finest material, but I'm pleased nevertheless. You keep thinking mainly due to his past he should easily add to his 4 average but his average has only went one way the last couple of years which is a bit of a worry imo.

I can only assume you felt the same about Poole signing a rider on a 4.29 average this season, after he'd averaged over 6.5 a couple of seasons before.

DJC 251 Posted October 25, 2023 Surely Nielson or Starke will be no where near Poole next year. Both struggle to complete a season injury free and are only on the decline. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Team building is about building a team with riders who can add more to there average. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who did he average 6.5 for, that must have been his best season . Poole signed Kyle knowing that he was capable of improvement at his hometown club, Starke has been going downhill for several seasons and is not worth the risk.

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted October 25, 2023 Such a low average for team building is causing issues as promotions have only fractions of a point to squeeze together the team they want. Anders wanted to be at Poole, the fans wanted him at Poole and he is a local lad. Next season: Lawson 8.49 Ben Cook 7.39 Zach Cook 6.22 Dominik Kubera 5.0Mateusz Cierniak 5.0 Sam Hagon 2.57 Max Perry 2.0 37.18 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which team is willing to pay more to get the bargain 5avg riders to come over from abroad. I'd rather have Anders the local lad over any new upcoming pole. But a silly points limit rules out Anders returning Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

szkocjasid 3,046 Posted October 25, 2023 I think Max Perry has gone under the radar in the NL, while Boughen has (rightly) been lauded as am future superstar, Perry who has a higher NL average (from a more difficult position) is not talked about anywhere near as much. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
