I'd go for Jacob Hook on a heartbeat. Hopefully he'll learn to ride Berwick, but he's gotta be better than any 2.00 guest for Stoneman

Unless there are other changes in the pipeline,if Hooks average fitted he would be a decent replacement for Nathan.IMO

I'm now thinking Hook could go to Glasgow so Berwick can get Complin. Probably suit both riders & teams better?

Given watched an NDL match where Blair passed complin at Berwick recently is that an improvement? I also don't see us going for hook, best score of 4 I think at ashfield

Personally if I were Berwick I would drop Jye to ensure Starke can come in at reserve (a stint at reserve would do him and the club good imo) and bring in a 5.00er for Jye (Jesper Knudsen?) I would imagine unless this 5.00er took off running then Starke would be back in the main body and they would be at reserve... From the outside looking in, Jye seems to be struggling this year...

Something like...

1 Rory Schlein 7.95
2 Jesper Knudsen 5.00
3 Jonas Knudsen 5.00
4 Thomas Jorgensen 7.40
5 Leon Flint 7.26
6 Paul Starke 4.86
7 Connor Coles 2.07

If he could be persuaded to change his mind and race in this country this year would Kasper Andersson on about 4.1 average I think not be a better option especially at home

Looking at Kaspers results for Berwick he had a 5.60 gsa at home and a 7.00 gsa away

Thanks for that.Strange how old age plays tricks on the memory.I thought it would have been the other way round.Not too shabby averages mind

Don't think they will either... but it's the best they can do if they wanted imo...

If it took another 8 weeks or so to get a visa for Jesper Knudsen like it did for his brother he'd hardly be here in time for the play - offs anyway

Not forgetting that next Friday at Redcar will be Jonas 8th meeting so his average will go up .

Berwick`s error was not taking advantage of Jonas Knudson`s false average over the winter, they compounded that by signing Thomas Jorgensen on a falsely high average.

Don’t know if they were caught out with TJ average.Good enough signing but 9+ average not helping given that they lowered Points limit.We will never know though.
