Hagon went 19 heats on a row through August last year scoring 0. If the top 4 is right (if they have signed Howarth as the other 3 have been announced) then Mitch McDiarmid wouldn't fit. Even with 2 x 2.00 pointers Mitch's average is still over a full point too high

Fair play. Only question now, is what assessed average he has. If he’s an assessed 6.00, that only leaves 3.65 for the last member of the top 5.  

I’d say that’s not a million miles away.

I think there'd be more than five available at number two with British reductions, more like six ish. A Klindt size hole......

Widely stated that equipment holds Foord back. If Tigers sign him with a sponsored bike/mechanic to sort that then he could increase his average (or prove 'everyone' wrong), especially if the 4 pointer can maintain that average.  Jack Smith was averaging over 5 in 2024 at reserve for the Tigers (although it dropped after he moved to 2). I'd be happy to see him back at 6. He definitely has some bogey tracks though, so I'd probably take Foord as long as something was done re his equipment. 

Team GB youth camps are held at Ashfield regularly, would imagine Seth was part of those
