Can’t see Fridays announcement giving too much away, Has Zach made his mind up? Slater is back in the US so don’t think he will be the announcement. Cairns and Newman are the 2 that I’m not sure will be back. so I’d expect Lawson or Cooper to be the announcement, Cooper they might save to a later date as it’s good media?

Bens not interested in championship speedway, he’s top league in Poland and has aspirations of making the GPs and representing Aus

If they can pack the team with riders like Kennett and other riders on a 4/5 ave capable of scoring far more than that then they’re gonna be the team to built. Already an exciting looking team and can’t wait to see how they finish it. Great to have Tom back in the championship, it’s a great move for him and Oxford

Great signing. 2 riders capable of going unbeaten on any track in the league. If they get the reserves right they could walk the league

I’d have Cairns back. But his average isn’t good value. Anders on a lower average is a better option. Although personally I prefer Cairns

5.7 average is decent value. Plus he’s been rumoured Poole bound which is the main reason I included him

Zach Rushen Harrison Mitch Mcdiarmid Tate Zischke Kennet Slater/Landon =39.96

Same grapevine as the Masters to Poole?

On a 4/4.5 I’d actually welcome him back. But he’s still slightly above average 5 and there’s better value riders out there. He was quick at times last year but suffered from trying too hard and riding injured. That injury during the offseason really hampered him

The one over 8 rule was a good idea to make the league more balanced, but with there being more riders on 8+ than teams. The rule should be lifted. Let the teams build their sides how they want, not to mention we don’t want riders without jobs because they didn’t manipulate their average

First rider announced next Friday at the end of season party, I’d expect it means it’ll be a rider from last seasons team.

Lawson Cooper Tate Mitch Mcdiarmid Harrison Slater/Landon Beau? would leave just over 5 for the last rider, so opens the door to a new 5point rider to start the season at reserve

A new Aussie is usually the go to. Or maybe Brady Landon?

Well they do give British youngsters league titles, knockout cups etc, not to mention the experience of riding for the most successful speedway in Uk history

Harbour Masters is off. Not to be run till next season now

Lawson always welcomed at Poole. On his average he’d be one of the first names on the team. But the 1 over 8 rule may scupper that

Good friends with Hagon too!

Luke Harrison in the harbour masters, could we get an early announcement…

Weak in heat 13/15. Strong in every other. I do wonder if Poole would pick Jenkins over Newman? Aswell with Rowe over Cairns. I personally prefer a big 1 and 5 like Poole have had ever since dropping down the league. But with the 1 over 8 rule (if not changed) that does only allow King/Harris and a couple others that would class as a top number 5

Let’s hope over the winter the refs can all receive some training to help them make far fewer mistakes. Too many wrong decisions.

Zach Rushen Harrison Cairns/Rowe Lawson Slater/Landon Southwick comes to just under 40 Lawson Rushen Harrison Beau/ 5pointer Rowe/Cairns Jenkins Kennet although I personally prefer Cairns over Rowe, 0.05 between their average you’d have to say Rowe is better Value. Both teams built assuming it’s a 40 limit

Brennan? Him and Picko is probably nearly 20points? Plus the other 3 being 14/15 leaves likely 2 2pointers at reserve. plus a hugely unreliable number 3. Not to mention Ingram would need to improve hugely away from home. Would be a hugely exciting 1 and 5 and a strong team at home. Wouldn’t surprise me too much if Brennan returned to the Champ after a tough season. The extra bike time and confidence of winning races often translates into a better season in tougher leagues

Great team

Can’t believe this is still a topic. With all the evidence we’ve seen the ref could not be certain Zach has crossed the line, there’s no picture from the right angle that shows both tires definitively off the track. Yes Will should’ve been excluded in the first leg, but then if we are playing that game then I’ll argue that Ingram should’ve been excluded for riding through Lightcap and causing him to either have a dangerous crash or to shut off/ get out the way completely. This is comfortably the worst season of refereeing, feels like in at least every other meeting there’s a decision made that is simply wrong.

Zach may be back next. He’s not yet decided whether he will be dropping championship racing. Hopefully the 1 over 8 rule disappears and we have the chance to keep our 1 and 5
