TTT

Weaker imo. KK is riding like a No.1 around KL so Laguta isn't that much of an improvement on him around the AFA as stupid as that sounds, Maybe 1-2 points and that's it, Think KK has won over 66% of his heats around the AFA. Away from Home the backup for Laguta isn't their (If he does sign)

I still can't buy into the Artem to KL rumour tbh. It's just so out of character if Buster was to sign riders like Laguta, Tungate, Tarasenko all in one go as it'll cost him a fortune, Buster has always operated on a budget so I don't know why that would change out of the blue after all of these years. Our Panthers rumoured team has to be wrong because nobody is going to accept the 1-7 being almost 3.00 points under the limit if Tara is a 5.00, Don't think we'd be stupid enough to go with NKI at 1 either considering the season he's having. Would have to applaud Buster if the moves did get confirmed as it'll show commitment and desire to turn campaigns around, Putting up the big money and going against how he's operated for years can only be respected imo.

Using the rolling averages on the Panthers site this time instead of using the current GSA's and we'd still be 2.89 under the limit, So we must be making three changes if Tara is a 5.00. NKI 6.77 B. Cook 5.41 R. Worrall 6.25 Basso 6.09 Tungate 6.59 Tarasenko 5.00 JJ (RS) = 36.11

Yep.

I was one of the select few who wanted him to join our club from day 1. Think it's due to his attitude why many fans weren't keen on him rather than their opinion being based around Rohan's ability on the bike.

I know Rew was given a 5.00 but he doesn't ride in the Ekstraliga, They used to give out 7.00 assessed averages for Ekstraliga riders and 8.00 for GP riders but the rules change so much it's impossible to keep track of lol. If Tara is a 5.00 then it would leave us 3.50 under the limit using current GSA's. NKI Tarasenko Basso Worrall Tungate B. Cook JJ

5.19 is Hansi

Team B yes by 0.01

So this is what you're looking at if it's KK and one of Klindt or TJ going. Laguta, Pickering, MPT, Jakobsen, Klindt, Edwards and up to 4.54 Laguta, Pickering, Jakobsen, TJ, MPT, Edwards and up to 5.20 (C. Cook?)

I'd take a chance on Klindt too for what it's worth. Only member of KL's 1-5 I wouldn't take a gamble on is Jorgensen as I think he's a carbon copy of Hans Andersen currently when you get TJ on a track that's not called the AFA.

Wouldn't fit if Tarasenko is on the usual 7.00 for Ekstraliga riders but who knows what the rules are anymore considering how much they change. Wouldn't happen regardless though imo because Buster and Dale wouldn't leave one of their clubs completely empty handed considering both of KL and P'boro need major surgery due to various underperformers in both 1-7's, Unlike other clubs we'd have to share the new signings around unfortunately.

I get that. But is it worth risking for a struggling rider who's in his 40's knowing he's got no long term future in the sport? I'd be calling it a day and making sure I get out in one piece if I was in his position as I wouldn't see the value in continuing at that age just for a 2-4 point return per an evening.

Who else is leaving KL? Laguta for KK doesn't come close fitting in with the points limit.

Just for interest, Which option are you taking up? Take the overall picture into consideration though rather than selecting a particular option due to a big name rider, Laguta would come at a cost and I don't just mean a financial cost. Option A - Laguta at No.1, Ben Cook having to ride in the 1-5 and a struggling Hans Andersen at reserve (Laguta massive name but you're also throwing Ben Cook in at the deep end that could easily go south like asking Basso to ride as a HL, Also sacrificing a stronger No.6 who can take up to 7 rides a night for a struggling Hans Andersen who's best days are long gone) Option B - Taranseko and Tungate in the 1-5 with Ben Cook remaining at reserve (Two engine room riders although the former will probably be at No.1 but the latter puts up Double figures regularly around Peterborough, B. Cook remains at reserve by taking up to 7 rides a night as well which means less rides for an underperforming rider like Worrall or NKI if they don't find form) For me, Option B looks the better fit considering the problems we've got with other riders in our team.

That would be funny tbh.

More likely imo. For what it's worth I think it's Tungate to Panthers, Tarasenko to KL and that's it because that's how Buster operates with his budget 1-7's imo. Laguta for KK wouldn't even come close to fitting in with the points limit either.

Buster operates on a budget so it's very unlikely to be Laguta imo. Buster putting up serious cash all in one go for an expensive Laguta, Tungate, KK, Tarasenko while flying in other EU based riders every week isn't how Buster runs his clubs. Makes no financial sense either as he'll just lose a lot of money.

Who's getting axed at KL then? Klindt?

Could we see Klindt at Panthers now?

Because age has caught up with him, May as well call it a day now while he's still in one piece instead of carrying on considering how dangerous this sport can be.

I didn't do the exactly, I cashed out just before the market closed for my full stake (£45.50) on the overs. I invested too much into the TV meeting in the end which led to me having a couple of last minute re-shuffles on the night. Only bet I left on from the Panthers & Wolves meetings in the end was Schlein on the unders as I was very confident on that (Didn't work out well haha)

Much more like it and it fixes a lot of problems. 1. Tarasenko 7.00 Assessment? 2. R. Worrall (Finally reverts back to his comfort zone and his level at No.2 rather than riding out of position at No.3 or 4.) 3. NKI (Should be better in the engine room away from Ht 13) 4. Basso (Pressure finally eased of his young shoulders by reverting back to a second string role) 5. Tungate (Proper HL around Peterborough who'll win races for fun) 6. B. Cook (Stays at reserve for a bit longer) 7. JJ (Best RS in the league)

BSN is the way forward for the sport because Eurosport coverage isn't good imo. Leicester are finally doing what I expected from them this season, The team are now starting to click and they're the dark horses this season that shouldn't be written off. Sheffield have got problems, Ellis isn't up to speed this season and Bellego is beyond dreadful, he's basically a rising star on the road at this point, Two thirds of the engine room struggling isn't good at all.

He's just at a track that doesn't suit him, I said it straight away before the season started that I didn't understand why he would sign for Leicester.
