Sam Masters would, I should think, double up with Oxford Spires in the Premiership and Oxford Cheetahs in the Championship. Well 3 of the 2023 Wolves have already been signed so if you take out the rising star that's already half your team mate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Col 854 Posted December 15, 2023 Not much in it really both Pawlicki brothers are better than Musielak on the continent, Musielak has spent an awful lot more time riding in GB than either Pawlicki. Covatti may have made an OK engine room signing, his signing would be as disastrous as Schien at this point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you want to sign a young Polish rider who is on the upward part of his career curve, try Oskar Fajfer.

Pawlicki average 2.412 in Polish liga 2 (20 matches ) Musielak average 1.944 in Polish Liga 2 (18 matches ) Maybe there is more to it than I know . But just looking at the bare stats Shamek had a really good season last year ...

For example Sayfutdinov is better than Doyle in GB & Poland, Doyle is better than Holder in GB but not the GPs. Bewley is better than Fricke in the GPs So Pawlicki could be better than Musielak over here, but could also not be!

We don’t know how the poles will perform . nobody rated Tarrasenko yet he turned out pretty good at Pererborough. Let’s wait and see . For the sake of the sport , Birmingham need a competitive team Anybody with an ounce of Polish speedway knowledge knew/knows how good Tarasenko is. Anybody who didn’t rate him was missing a trick as he is a quality speedway rider. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He had a great season in Sweden and performed well in individual comps too, only just missing out on the GPs for next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DJC 251 Posted December 18, 2023 Would Shamek come in on his last Poole average of 6.75? Looking at the 2024 confirmed thread, they have 22.59 left - if Shamek is 6.75 then Tarasenko 6.94 and Laguta 8.43 could fit with him. Would be one of the strongest in the league but would cost a pretty penny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ah yes, but Najjer, as you probably realise by now, some of the jokers on this forum think speedway ends at Dover ! Shamek was really good in 1. Liga this year. Should either or both Pawlicki brothers end up in riding in the UK at any point this season, they will be fine. The unpalatable truth for some is that the British Leagues aren’t what they used to be. UK speedway itself is what’s on the wane. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
