So its as you were in terms of team building for the PL in 2015. Hopefully we get some news of the team in the next few days.

The big question mark for me in the EL is tge choice not to address the inequality in averages caused by last seasons format. Simply increasing the limit is just a paper over the cracks job. There will now be some teams that sign 4 heat leaders while others only have 2.

The big decision for me is the double up change to allow 2 seasons only. Could be some big decisions ahead for a number of riders.

it unfairly penalises whichever side its used against IMO - home or away.

he is often hamming it up in his ramblings.

i think youre getting your Pokemon mixed up with your Skylanders!!

How about this for a conspiracy theory. The FIM plan a ban - say 8 months like the Danno precedent. Darcys defence is a technicality with the testing procedures. The FIM know they have screwed up and will have to drop the case. However to ensure he has to sit it out the hearing keeps getting shifted back until the 8 months is up. And before anyone asks yes I am bored today!

If Darcy was.... a magicians assistant - sawed meeting a drug dealer - scored doing an impression of a lion - roared

Ben Howe when did he become ex PL? Do you know more about the Monarchs team plans than the rest of us!

if the 2014 remains unchanged there are on cats at 8,7,5 and 3 for the PL.There is no manual assessment to award anything different. Edit misread the quoted post initially. Can see now you didnt mean he should be assessed at 4 rather that you feel thats all he will acheive.

If Darcy was.... a heavy sleeper - snored disinterested - bored punched in the face -floored.

the Danish league wasnt professional enough going by the Brady Kurtz assessment last year so dont see that he should be anything other than a 5.

my post wasnt meant to be a pop at Scunny - no other club has done as much in recent times to provide opportunties for new British riders. It was much more a lament at the continuing erosion generally. By the way Ipswich has a decent record of using/nurturing British riders when measured against the norm. Certainly when taking into account restrictive stadium use conditions which means any practice outside meeting days is impossible.

So in the space of 24 hours Scunny disband the NL side and sign a foreign teenager. Long live British Speedway!

still there for those with less than 3 years league experience so not scrapped but Danny doesnt qualify.

that rumour could well turn out to be a red herring.With Dannys previous he was always going to be linked to the Witches and he would be a popular choice with most fans. However far from a done deal as far as I know.

Id say his average is a reflection of a number of severe knocks in the kast couple of years.I too wouldnt be surprised if Scarra is right.

Someone like Riss would come in on a 5 I think. Only those who have only ridden NL/Amatuer league here can come in on a 3.

I think Danny will be above 9 next year wherever he ends up and be good to watch whilst about it.

If Danny is available to us then to choose him as our No1 is a no brainer for me. I do think Rohan can still progress and maybe retaining him as a No2 could still be possible. We have tried the balanced approach,we have tried the big No1 perhaps now we need to try top heavy!

Those with less than 3 years in the PL may still get a 2.5% discount. So Adam woukd be 4.55 rather than 4.67. The likes of Lewis Rose Lewis Kerr Ollie Greenwood etc would also qualify if it continues.

that could be a good compromise with a collar to any drop. 7 pointer no lower than 5, 5 pointer no lower than 4 perhaps.

then you could have King Worrall Wells Manzares Tressarieu Heeps 3pointer would ensure a top notch reserve all season as well as the genuine No1.

Options with both King and Tungate are possible but limit the bottom end needing 2 3ish pointers. King Tungate Worrall or Risager Manzares Heeps O Greenwood Sarjeant
