A rubbish team won’t be supported by people out for an enjoyable evening. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haven't checked the other social platforms. It looks a decent solid team and on a 'Track by Terry' they should do well. Pawlicki should do ok...milik isnt a number 5....

TTT 1,229 Posted January 22 This so called shortlist must have been non existent if you're signing Milik on a 7.50 when his actual average is 5.67. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His ancient average is irrelevant - a completely different rider now in terms of experience. A not bad signing compared with some of the names that had been bandied about. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roger Jacobs 554 Posted January 22 Just now, Fromafar said: Who decides what the average will be in these cases. "Assessed rider gradings are calculated as follows: - Riders new to Premiership League racing are categorised as follows: - a) a rider riding in a professional league in the previous or current season will be assessed on a Grading List. Based upon results obtained in all other professional Speedway leagues and given an Assessed MA accordingly" And ... before you ask ... there doesn't appear to be a published list of gradings. PS: I'm assuming they're classed as new riders because they don't have "current" CMAs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I made it 1.6 with the 2 latest additions increased averages But would of been over 4 if they hadn't " re assessed" their averages, which would of looked silly. Mean while i think Magics went down.
