Klindt is the only rider over 8 at Plymouth And as Scunny, Workington and Edinburgh have no riders over 8 there would be vacancies at these clubs. This appears to be reasonableย proposal to share out the league's top riders. There are 9 teams and 9 riders over 8. Yeah, I don't mind that idea at all.

szkocjasid Posted October 19 Report Share Posted October 19 (edited) Probably an unrealistic team, but a title winning one imo Chris Harris Kyle Howarth Leon Flint Nick Morris Mitchell McDiarmid Jordy Loftus Cooper Rushen * I know Rushen is rumoured for Poole, but until he's 16 can't sign a contract, who knows maybe after watching the play-off final would rather ride at Ashfield than Wimbourne Road lol! I'd expect Loftus to return to Edinburgh, but would've said the same thing about Bewley in 2017! Edited October 19 by szkocjasid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWellBehavedWorrall Posted October 19 Report Share Posted October 19 Gutted 2025 is over and canโt wait for 2026. Looking forward to the team building this winter. This season, we announced all seven riders at once (although several were known in advance). Iโm not sure how I feel about that again; one-by-one announcements or all at once. Personally, I want Harris back. Heโs remarkable. Iโm almost lost for words, heโs that entertaining. As Iโm sure every Tigers fan would, Iโd welcome back Nagel, but I imagine heโll have bigger priorities on the continent. Who knows? Iโd also welcome back Flint. I was hugely critical of his early season form, but not only did he improve, but he appears to have become a big presence in the pits. I think Hodder has shown signs of development too, so Iโd happily see him back at Ashfield next season. I canโt imagine Thompson will entertain the Championship next season and Iโm still a bit scunnered by Howarthโs showings in heat 15 and the race-off, so right now, Iโm not keen. Perryโs given 100%, but I think itโs clear heโs struggled, especially in recent weeks while Hodder has improved. New signings? Loftus from Edinburgh looks like heโs got a lot of promise.ย Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noelinho Posted October 20 Report Share Posted October 20 Loftus is a good prospect, as is Jody Scott. I'd love to see both of them, but honestly, I hope they re-sign with their respective clubs. They gave them a chance and it would be nice to see the clubs reap the benefit next year. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colsimmo58 Posted October 20 Report Share Posted October 20 SilentLurker Looks like you have demolished the Tigers team. If you think that Max Perry has improved , you are watching a different Max Perry than I have. Perry has been outscored by Hodder in more occasions than not,Perry is not , as this stage , a Championship rider He lacks experience,has no power in his engines, is off the pace most times,and shuts off coming out of the second bend He went 7 matches and scored 5 points,he needs to beat his opposite number,that hasnt happened enough. He is 18 years old ??,compare him to Nagel, same age,there is a massive difference on track. I would have Harris back definatelyย plus Nagel, Hodder,Thompson,either Flint or Howarth. NO PERRY. I agree with you regarding a Team Manager, Brown slipped up in the Super Heat, should have had Thompson or Flint, not Howarth ย ย ย Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseq7 Posted October 20 Report Share Posted October 20 I'd have Perry instead of Hodder BUT only to allow us to potentially have a higher averaged No6, for example Ace Pijper.ย I do think Perry has improved.ย It is a numbers game but coming last by twenty yards when having lead for a couple of laps, for example, is definitely an improvement on coming dead last by fifty yards having been last all race.ย Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joseq7 Posted October 20 Report Share Posted October 20 Ace is a Glasgow asset, and I wonder if we might be thinking double Pijper at reserve, with wee brother Steyn, that might swing the deal.ย Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all due respect to the younger Pijper, Iโve saw him a couple of times this season and he hasnโt looked anywhere near ready for Championship speedway. Iโd happily take Hodder and Perry back; give them an opportunity to build a tough season, but if forced to pick one, itโs a no brainer in Hodder. If we can steal Loftus from Edinburgh, then weโd be laughing. Heโs got great potential and the Facennaโs could send his gran back in Australia a mobility motor to sweeten the deal. What do you think, @Mr Blobby? Deal? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

szkocjasid Posted October 20 Report Share Posted October 20 Would you want Ace Pijper if he started in the top 5, not reserve? Chris Harris (8.90) Kyle Howarth (7.92) Leon Flint (6.95) Nick Morris (6.86) Ace Pijper (4.04) Freddy Hodder (2.63) Jack Smith (2.61) * averages aren't official Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
