I'd expect him to hit 5, above that I'm not so sure?

As Kemp is averaging below 4, he needs to improve to be able to reach a 6.00 ave first - then we can see if that's his "ceiling" I think he should up his average, but am also surprised he hasn't done that already as he was a future superstar it seems at 15/16!

It would help if they announced sone riders, so I wouldn't have to guess all 7 lol!

I believe both Newman & Heeps especially can up their aves, alongside 2 x nine point men, that's a strong looking team so far!

Josh Auty would be my guess!

I feel it's the complete opposite, but there you go!

Edinburgh 2022? Sam Masters 9.41 Josh Pickering 8.34 Justin Sedgmen 5.55 Kye Thompson 5.51 An Other 5.19 Dillon Ruml 4.00 Max Ruml 4.00 Total 42.00

If Edinburgh build strength in depth Sedgmen could end up as a heat leader! I'm not suggesting that if Edinburgh have 8 points to play with then make Sedgmen a heat leader, just if they have 5.6 points to play with - then he fits as a 3rd heat leader! If it's a choice if Sedgmen & a 4.00 reserve vs Wolbert & a 2.00 reserve, which is the stronger pair?

Then 5.03 with British reduction! Does he get a second British reduction because he didn't ride in 2021? Then it'd be 4.90

While Morris, Shanes & Newman may not have a lot of improvement in them, they can certainly put something on their averages. I'd certainly say they are more valuable to any team than the likes of Tobias Thomsen or Nick Agertoft were when signed in 2019!

Where do you get that figure from?

Personally I don't think Sedgmen would put a lot on his ave, but could up it a little. So unless someone can name a rider on a lower ave, who will score more, I'm curious why people are against signing him?

My point was, the argument against Sedgmen was that some clubs have riders that could "easily add 3 points to their average" so I'd argue, do these clubs have 7 riders who can put 3 points on their average? Clearly not! In that case if Monarchs can find a rider who can put 3 points on his average, can Sedgmen then be signed alongside him?

1) that's not a few sides 2) I'd say not a chance they'd put 3 points on their averages But everyone is entitle to their own opinion.

I certainly agree with that, if anything you need to show the landlords you're a business! I worry the likes of Birmingham apparently blindly accepting a large rent increase makes them look like fans desperate to keep the club going, rather than businessmen. Which while admirable does nothing to sway the landlords from attempting the same rent increase every year!

I cannot think of a single rider who could "easily put 3 points on his average" who are you referring to? Also Sedgmen has a higher ave than all the new younger Aussies: Kai Thomsen, Ben Cook, Zane Kennedy, Zach Cook, Zaine Keleher & Josh MacDonald. So he can't be that bad?

When you compare Poole's reaction to that of Plymouth when they lost Richard Lawson, it's like night & day. Plus Plymouth have more cause to complain as Lawson agreed to race for them in 2022, something Basso hadn't done. "The signing of Andersen follows the decision of Richard Lawson; who had verbally committed to The Gladiators for 2022 to focus more on his Premiership commitments with Kings Lynn in 2022 and to seek opportunities elsewhere. The Club thanks Richard for his efforts both as a short term Team Member and a regular Guest rider during 2021"

That can't be the plan as his current Prem ave converted is 8.84, well above his current Champ ave. If he doesn't start 2022 in a Champ team, can't see him signing for anyone mid season!

I cannot see why they would re-assess Wolbert's average tbh. It's not like his been injured / retired like Crump or James Wright (although he rode grasstrack), as he's been riding abroad! Is there a recent prescedence for averages being reassessed (not for injuries /retirements)?

0.16 doesn't stop Scunny signing Jorgensen, just stops him signing with the other 6. Replace Kinsley with a 2.00 man or Kennedy with MacDonald & Jorgensen fits - simple! There will always be potential teams just over the points limit, but if you allow a team to be 0.16 over, another will want to declare 0.25 over & so on!

Edwards wasn't a rising star for Plymouth (Bowtell was) finished with a 2.16 ave.

I think Jason Edwards is a good prospect & will up his average, but can't see him getting anywhere near a 5.00 ave.

Both Rowe & Sarjeant scored poorly at Leicester this year, kinda to be expected as second strings / reserves against a strong Leicester team. But what if there are no 4.00 riders who rode well at Beaumont Park? Still gotta choose someone!

While Wolbert makes Monarchs stronger at the top, leaves them weak at number 7! Edinburgh 2022? Sam Masters 9.41 Josh Pickering 8.34 Kevin Wolbert 8.00 Kye Thompson 5.51 Norick Bloedorn 4.00 Max Ruml 4.00 Phillips / Woolley 2.00 Total 41.26

Is who disappointed?
