How do you know he didn't want to? Poole can't fit him in anyway. So doesn't even matter.

His average is a 5, so doesn't fit. Unless they fancy downgrading it to a 4?

I am assuming it is a Dane considering July is busy in the fixture list and that is when Denmark have their mini break!

When I started reading your post I thought it was a clue the first name was Hans lol

Part of the job though. I would have thought you would have to kinda like travelling to do this career.

Does he not like travelling then? In the wrong job really.

And he's captain! Let's hope it doesn't come with too much pressure. Might have been better for him not to have that imo.

Plymouth already talking to Joe at the end of last season though according to Skidder. So doubt he was available anyway. Personally I don't think the tail is that dodgy, Hagon is on a bargain average considering how good he can be. I haven't really seen Max ride in any meetings yet, but didn't he do well in the pairs at Oxford? And that will prob be one of our first away meetings. Be interesting to see who the no2 is? Hopefully be revealed next week Skidder?

Yep.

Only for Plymouth though. For anyone else he'd be a second string. As much as I like Kyle, he isn't a HL imo.

So Newman would be instead of Tom then.

In hindsight yes. But no one really knew what Ben Cook was going to be like and Hume wasn't picked up by anyone else. Only had him as King recommended him. This is a similar risk. Max is going to be riding against other no7s he has faced in NL, apart from Plymouth. Not sure why you are writing Hagon off for either. He did well in the meeting Vs Swindon and was good for us at Scunny when he guested for Rowe and got paid 7. Listening to Rosco on Humans of Speedway podcast he rates him very highly and let's see who this final signing is before writing them off.

Weren't Nick and Richie the 'bad boys' they were referring to?

I don't see the issue tbh, looking at other line ups so far only Plymouth have strong reserves and they sacrificed a HL to do it. I don't think we will be the best team straight away but I think we will get better as the season goes along imo. A bit like Redcar last season.

Plus they said Max was always in the plans whatever happened.

Fair enough. But some teams like Redcar have got riders just over 2 points, so not much in it. Also who else has some like Zach as second string. Not many! I am looking forward to H2, you won't be able to predict what will happen but there is a lot of potential there. Exciting times!

A lot of 2 pointers in the league this year though FB and have to bear in mind the league is weaker

This team is giving me the feels of 2007 with a few young riders in the team! When we had Kennett, Doyle and Batch all in their early 20s.

Berwick might even do better than Glasgow at this rate!

Steve Worrall confirmed. Gonna be weird next season with Steve in red and Tom in blue!

He would start at No1 though

Yeah, good point. Just looking at first couple of meetings will be against Oxford and Plymouth in the BSN trophy, I am assuming. So would be tough having Sam or Scott in 2 races on debut potentially. Haven't checked who has higher average out of them two. But again I can see why they would want to keep Ben and Zach partnership together. I suppose try one riding order and if it doesn't work as hoped can always swap it around.

Yeah I got it wrong. I thought there is 20 left not 20 used lol

No, my reading that is bad rather than maths lol So 8.23
