Jedd List would fit in being another Queenslander

I posted over two weeks ago, that he was the only obvious candidate that fit between 7-8 average. Was also based on him back doing Motocross and smashing the gym everyday. No rumour as such, just my logical thoughts, like everything on the forum seems to be sparked from that comment, no actual facts. The club could just as easily come out and sign three 5 point newcomers to British Speedway.

I don't think there is any worry, just shopping in a different window to other clubs. Sometimes just have to wait for the right one and get the logistics and sponsorship in place.

No, would be 0.03 over the limit I believe. Cook, Luke Harrison and Max Perry would have come to exactly 40.00 if that was the combo Harrison signed for Scunthorpe though, so can't see how Max Perry will start the season anywhere now

Ryan Ingram at reserve for Scunthorpe, and potentially a newcomer at reserve for the Comets. But agreed not many

This was going to be my exact response! Afford it? Considering that’s been the plan for the first 2 seasons back at championship level with a 3/3 hit rate of 5 point riders I don’t see why it would be a problem.

Lots of options, why would you think that?

I think Etherington would do well given the chance seems to have something about him imo, surprised I haven't seen him mentioned. I'm sure Vinnie will be able to step up to be the senior reserve next season. Etherington had some really good meetings before his injury and good battles with Cooper Rushen, including this one at Redcar where he overtook him on the last lap to win the British Youth Championship round https://www.facebook.com/100006064421687/videos/722424074092131/

Here's 3 riders for you, that I think would fit the bill; Craig Cook Nicolai Heiselberg Jamie Etherington Team total comes in under 40, what do you reckon?

Even with being a difficult character it's the best way to finish the team IMO. The partnership he had with Tate in 2024 was brilliant and they could ride together again at 3 and 4, can't see any better options or heatleaders available with the points left. If you take away the Poole away meeting where he had bike issue, his away average was just short of 9.50. We were massively lacking there last season and if we sign Vuolas his away average will be about 5 points less than that!

He's not that bad 😄strong at home at the very least

The British reduction is rounded up, i.e Perry is 2.35 - 2.5% = 0.05875, which makes .06 = 2.29 If that makes sense.

Just saying, don't think that'll happen of course. But it would make the team stronger than the one we had that qualified for the playoffs in 2024.

Don't want to sound mean, but honestly don't know how you see it like that? Morris definitely is probably the best value signing in the league but Fredriksen was dreadful away from home and Palovaara averaged below 6 when in the top order 🤷‍♂️

Who are the final 3 riders going to be then. 15.25 left. Perry 2.29 Harrison 4.97 Would leave 7.99, which is exactly what average a certain local rider would return on interestingly 🤔
