They'll have riders lined up/signed and a few are predictable. But they’re just not announced yet.

Extance is a decent rider. He’s just been extremely unfortunate with injuries.

Will Pottinger is your new team manager! You wanted someone tactically astute and I think you’ve found one.

I agree due to their lack of heat winners.

Good to see Doyley still in British speedway.

What's this Danish lad like?

Probably the best top 3 in the league but it’s relying on improvements from the bottom 4. Also surely Davey will miss a fair few home meetings with Weds being a Premiership race night.

Hunters posed that question to point out that the post he quoted won’t happen! Hunters doesn’t think he’ll drop to reserve.

It's a decent looking side as proved by their end to the 2017 season. It's clearly built with a strong reserve in ind and 3 solid heat leaders could work better than a stand out number 1 seeing as there's even less genuine heat leaders in the league this year which gives Harris, Nicholls and KK all a fair chance of winning multiple races most meetings.

Bacon has a higher average than JPB. Hume + JPB would give the most points to play with.

I can see RTD dropping down first tbh, either him or Bradley. It’s relying on Atkins improving as much as he did this year and stepping up to be a 3rd heat leader imo (especially at home).

Spot on iand! Whoever is the number 7 each month will end up having to take a lot of rides!

Widders completes the team.

This is what I thought but got shot down as Plymouth fans are happy with it. Btw Wilson & Walker fits.

It’s the same ruling as last season.

Chessell’s back! Will he end up being the number 1 on that average?

Bailey vs Baseby: Bailey. Baseby is unproven at number 1 Ayres vs Wood: Wood. He has more potential to consistently hit big scores as Ayers is sometimes erratic. Jenkins vs Brennan: touch and go between the 2 but both will finish 8+. Kinsley vs Powell: Powell just. Both will be strong at home but weak away. Bebee vs Dugard: Touch and go and realistically the smallest improvers for both teams who will both rely on home points. Kemp vs Edwards: Kemp all day long but Edwards is the 2nd best 3.00 man in the league anyway. Marson vs Brooks: Marson slightly. Both are unknown entities over here but Marson’s 500 experience gives him the edge. For what it’s worth haha.

So far its the same....

As It’s a new promotion now, who’s to say Davey is as popular with them as he was with Drury etc?

Yeah they did well in the NT final against Mildenhall but didn’t have a strong group to get out of. But tbh your team did alright because Atkins was brilliant and Roynon had the wrong average. I’m all for continuity, I just saw Plymouth struggle in the middle order last season as Atkins/Walker & Andrews were all great at number 7 but only Atkins really scored in the main body which is where he’ll be all year now. Now it looks like the team building is taking the same direction. If Boxall comes back it looks a weak pair of reserves if Bulley/Anderson etc feature again but probably the best 1 & 5 in the league.

I know he's struggled on big tracks in the past, but as long as he can master Smallbrook it's fine and he should help us out away!

It's the same team as last year and it wasn't that successful in the league.

If it was Knight, he wouldn’t even be missing with Championship clashes though.

Is Mountain actually better than Knight?

A very strong 1 & 5 and Stoneman will be one of the better 3rd heat leaders so there’s plenty of points from that trio. Rowe will be strong at home and that’s a top 4 to win most home meetings imo. It’s at reserve where they’re lacking but then multiple other teams might be in the same position with the continued low points limit.
