Would anyone be tempted to run with a No.4 around the 6.00 mark and then go with someone like Jason Edwards or Joe Thompson @ No.2 with a view to Cairns moving out of reserve after the first set of averages?

Nilsson is the key imo because the rules do say 4.50 and he'll easily finish anywhere between the 5.75-6.25 mark imo.

maybe there is an obvious solution to this 🤔

Same here, With the current League format and setup we need every Club being competitive as it's not good if we've got a couple of sides way below par considering we're running the same fixtures 4-6 times a season by the time you include the Cup.

Dan is also friends with Guy’s son Jake and they do motocross together down at Jake’s track. There’s another Ipswich link, not just a Wroclaw one. 

100%. Or push the boat out and get Emil back over before he does a deal in Sweden. I’m told pretty much every club has talked with him and he hasn’t ruled out a return if he gets the right deal.    I know some Ipswich fans wouldn’t like it but I personally couldn’t care less. I’ve never been hung up about ex riders riding elsewhere.    Would love to see him back over and it would make the Derbies more interesting.
