Piotr DID commit to a Monday track tho!.Think you missed that point completely.

MJJ? ?? NO THANKS. He is an EL user. Wouldn't trust him to turn up for any meeting. Shamek would be great if he wanted to come back to the EL.

For every human on earth there are 1.6 million ants.

Out of those 3 Musielak without question. Robson is injury prone and is it sure he will be fit for next season?

Agreed. Holder is a true number one. He isn't the only one who has stalled or gone backwards this season. In fact those that haven't are in a minority.

Poole already have a number one in Holder. Haven't read anywhere that he is considering dropping EL.

Right call on him not coming this season. Went backwards and virtually off the radar. Shame really, looked a huge talent.

After this season who would take that risk? He is a risk in the EL even when riding well abroad.

As proven not necessarily the case. No doubt those riders are happy at the one club they are however.

It's unclear on what newcomers averages will be. In fairness I misread the BSPA update saying new none British riders assessed at 6.50 will be added to the heat leaders list. It doesn't say all newcomers will be assessed at that average.

[quote name="semion" post="2702494" timestamp="1445950810"Gone are the days where one rider sticks with a club for keeps. Too some extent. Riders like Freddie Lindgren and Woffy have only ridden for one EL club, likewise Chris Holder.

In the season yes, but on that average for next year? We would be crazy to let him go. And any other teams would be crazy for thinking they had a chance of signing him.

Absolutely not happily.

Yes of course, it's not like Wolves need any riders.

Music to my ears. Couldn't bear the thought of the most hated rider pulling on a Wolves jacket.

I agree, no one should be safe until we have a rider capable of doing a number ones job.Part of me does wonder if the management are already investing in Joel Andersson for next season. On a 6.5 average he is too big a gamble and as a likely heat leader. Not sure he is any further forward in his career than Jacob is.

It's not real rocket science. It's maximising the points limit to the full that makes it logic. Given that no one is signed and no idea what points would be left it's all surmise at this stage anyway. As a club asset it makes more logic to use you're own asset , obviously points limit allowing.

And if both become heat leaders they will both struggle. The only sense it might make would be for team building with Barker on the lower average. However both a second strings are decent bets.

Ben has a lower starting average that's true but doubt there would be much difference come end of 2016 so the opinion then becomes subjective.

Academically, it's the truth.

Exactly. And if he did it's common knowledge it would be with Wolves.

I rate him higher yes.

As a second string it's a no brainer. barker could still do a job (as you're example) but both would struggle as heat leader. So if it come to them both upping their averages to become heat leader it's Jacob for me also.

None of us would be upset, it won't happen. If he could be bothered to ride here it would be for Wolves. But he isn't interested anyway.

That's assuming we can sign anyone that has a higher average!
