If Wells wasn't retiring I'd say he's worth a shot on that average! Same as Heeps, did well when he rode for Monarchs.

Ricky Butcher was probably better than Ricky Wallace lol!

Hook has a better rolling ave (& 2022 ave) than James Pearson and it seems Birmingham fans are delighted to have Pearson back again. So Hook can't be THAT bad!

Cory Blackman was far better than Ricky Wallace

I agree, I feel Master's is a 10 point rider, but Morris is as you say on that ave due to the 10 match rolling ave (dropping lots of poor matches)

Just too long a tail for me!

I disagree, cause I'd expect them both to up their averages

Totally agree

Personally I think Kasprzak would be a good signing on a 6.86 ave, could only see that going up

Need a "rising star"

I agree Jorgensen is likely to drop 2 points off his average, but maybe Berwick couldn't find any other heat leaders?

Every other Brit shows their final ave, not including reduction, so it wouldn't make sense for Bickley to be listed as 2.93? I'm under the impression it's a mistake & he should be on a 3.00 ave.

Reading rumours of Masters & Kerr joining Oxford, but that would mean no Nicholls & I'd expect he was a certainty to return?

2.00 is the minimum for Brits. 3.00 is the minimum once a Brit has averaged above 3.00, so that should be Bickley's ave not 2.93

Starke would fit instead of Morley

I can't imagine Glasgow would let Brennan go. Think Nick Morris has an average well above his ability, looks a quirk of the 10 match rolling aves rather than his true ability, as all his poor matches early season have been scrubbed from the stats!

Built to always have one strong reserve!

Edinburgh won the league in 2015 with 2 x 3.00 reserves (the minimum average then). Both (Clegg & Branford) only finished with about 3.5 averages & stayed at reserve all year! Even if one of the top 5 had an off night, still got 4 potential double figure scorers in the team!

I'm not so sure about Pearson. Even if he puts 1.5 on his "actual" 2022 average he'd still finish below his 4.00 starting figure!

Those 6 would leave 8.34 for the final rider, which would fit Cook in perfectly (8.24). Don't imagine they would've dropped Cook in that scenario!

How about? Redcar Kyle Howarth 8.36 Charles Wright 7.40 Danyon Hume 5.68 Drew Kemp 5.20 Anders Rowe 5.08 Kyle Newman 4.29 Jason Edwards 3.80 Total 39.81

Now that the averages have been confirmed, this team fits! Scunthorpe Ryan Douglas 9.38 Michael P Toft 6.76 Jake Allen 6.30 Simon Lambert 5.20 Connor Mountain 4.72 Zaine Kennedy 4.27 Joe Thompson 3.27 Total 39.90

I'd possibly keep the top 3! Poole Steve Worrall 8.05 Danny King 8.05 Richard Lawson 7.97 Ben Cook 6.09 Zach Cook 4.92 Jake Mulford 2.00 Nathan Ablitt 2.00 Total 39.08

How about? Glasgow Ben Basso 8.52 Tom Brennan 6.71 Kyle Thomson 6.60 Broc Nicol 5.95 Paul Starke 5.11 Claus Vissing 5.00 Jake Mulford 2.00 Total 39.89

How about? Edinburgh Josh Pickering 8.92 Craig Cook 8.24 Justin Sedgmen 7.04 Cameron Heeps 4.33 Connor Bailey 4.32 Lasse Fredriksen 4.00 Kyle Bickley 3.00 Total 39.85
