Kemp isn't great but he's a more reliable option then others on the table. I personally look at it this way....   ERIK RISS Postive Good rider if he's fit (Big If) and he's been part of the Landshut setup with Nilsson so it's a good combination for Team spirit. Negative The illness keeps coming back so if it's him then you're playing poker because if the illness returns after others have improved GSA's then it could be a case of scrambling around for a rider on a 3 something to replace him.   4.50 YOUNGSTER Positive If they click, Then they really click to a point where you end up with a gem who makes a mockery of an assessed average. Negative They're BOOM or BUST merchants as we saw this year with Hellstrom-Bangs and if another one falls into the BUST category then it's a scramble for a replacement because with the RS not likely to score many points (If any) then it's too risky to keep the faith by running a Team with two riders not scoring points.   DREW KEMP Positive Can ride Ipswich and Leicester very well and has a good few years worth of PREM experience. Negative Can be frustrating and his head does go at times.

He did, but I think he must have counted a rising star as a 3 pointer because I’ve since had it confirmed to me that it’s 37 plus a rising star.

Using the final Green Sheets - Issue 23, 6th October, I make the averages as follows: Bewley (including reduction) - 8.56 King (including reduction) - 7.17 Doyle - 8.62 Cairns - 3.0 Nilsson 4.5 That totals 31.85.  If it’s 37, then that leaves 5.15 for the last rider. Also, let’s not forget that Coleman in his interview with Radio Suffolk the other day stated that the 2027 number is 40!  

Witches end of season party tonight so may be few more rumours about or hopefully start announcing riders signed for 27.

1. Sam Masters (8.99) 2. Dan Gilkes (4.46) 3. Mitchell McDiarmid (5.53) 4. Luke Killeen (6.03) 5. Tom Brennan (8.64) 6. Dayle Wood (4.28) 7. Harry Fletcher (2.00) 39.93

Rushen will be back
