szkocjasid 3,042 Posted December 9, 2023 I'll start this for predictions & comments for the coming season. Despite Max James signing fir the senior side, I expect he'll stay with Leicester in the NL? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's because they've lazily only chosen averages to "maintain the ethos" of the league. It's gonna be easier for a journeyman 40 year old 6 point rider to get a team spot than a 16 year old 7.5 rider in his second season for example! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PotteringAround 633 Posted December 15, 2023 50 minutes ago, Fozzie4388 said: Sam McGurk first signing A decent signing for Edinburgh (for the away meetings at least) but his NDL record at Armadale to date isn't great. 13 rides, 8+2 points for an average of 2.46 Thought he might have been at Scunthorpe/Sheffield or Belle Vue as they are tracks he rides well. But good luck to him if he's trying to progress by mastering a track he doesn't ride well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Blobby 2,662 Posted December 22, 2023 Connor Coles to lead the way for the academy in 2024. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
szkocjasid 3,042 Posted January 4 I don't think this will be the team, more playing around with the numbers to see what fits. But swapping King for Mark Parker (3.00), could be more realistic. Also someone may refresh my memory, but did Josh Embleton leave Edinburgh due to work commitments? Edinburgh Connor Coles 7.79 Max Perry 7.75 Sam McGurk 6.08 Dayle Wood 4.50 Josh Embleton 3.47 Connor King 3.39 Kyren Lyden 3.00 Total 35.98 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Parker will probably parter Lyden at reserve. Gutted mickie isn’t back but makes sense for him to move there less travelling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
