Yes I agree but surely you need a rider that can compete with other number 7's or it is a likely zero points for those 3 rides. It seems likely that Sarjeant will be a 2.56 and is well worth that average in my opinion, very difficult to improve the team much with only a extra .56 to play with.
I know, I was just pointing out Newman may prove to be one of the better reserves so may not be at reserve long so they may need a rider that is at least capable of beating other reserves.
Because it gives you a presence in the town. I am sure most towns have shops for the local sports clubs. Speedway is Poole's primary sport so why not have a permanent shop, I'm sure Peterborough has a shop for it's primary sport.
It would appear that Ashley Morris has a converted average from his 2017 championship average so it would appear that Sarjeant will have his average converted in the same way.
Doubt Lawson, Wright or Allen will improve much, good reserves although never heard of the new rider but won't have to beat much judging by the other number 7's that have been signed up to now, overall a solid team along with Doyley who will no doubt be the best rider in the league once again.
