Agree, especially if he was on a 5 point ave!

Jonatan Grahn the 4th rider announced, returning on a 5.30 average

1. D. Thompson 8.50

2. J. Grahn 5.30

3. ????

5. J. Sedgmen 7.34

6. ????

7. J. Loftus 2.19

Leaves 16.67 for a reserve, a 3rd heat leader and a number 4.

Hopefully Kye comes back, Dayle at 6 and a new face in the main body.

Ask it every year but what would Wolbert come in on?

Probably a plane lol

If my maths is right that would leave 8.5 to play with but we could only use 7.99 of that? The high 7s riders will be in huge demand this season. Paco plus a higher averaged reserve than Wood might be a better route?

[szkocjasid]

If they went with Kye & Paco, I'd kinda like Connor Coles to get a chance. Don't see him getting a team spot anywhere else on a 3.25 ave, but as there's not an obvious stronger choice if they go that route, maybe give him a second tier lifeline?

 he must be about  60 now is he

[YeOldPitGate]

Is young Max James worth another go ?

[TheWellBehavedWorrall]

I thought Kyle Thomsen would have been one of the first names on the Monarchs’ team sheet. Didn’t he end last season on fire?

He was outstanding at Ashfield in the play-offs. Almost lapped Harris in one heat.

That’s his reminded me of the referee - it might have been the Harris race - accidentally pressing the red light, mid-race.😂

I don’t think you can read too much into the order the team is announced. Thomson will be back I’m pretty certain.

That’s why he won’t be around this year. Just a pile of ashes was left.

Connor Coles, Jesus, I’ll say no more.

He will be 36 when the season opens which is two years younger than Troy Batchelor.

How about bringing back a couple of former Monarchs?

Dan Thompson - 8.50

Justin Sedgmen - 7.34

Kye Thomson - 5.93

Lasse Fredriksen - 5.49

Jonatan Grahn - 5.30

Cameron Heeps - 4.93

Jordy Loftus - 2.14

Total - 39.63

So Kye will be the third heat leader? I don't think that sounds like a good idea and as for Cameron Heeps i've never know how to judge his career, he just always seems to get picked up by teams based solely on his average. Maybe i'm being unkind and he's a really good team guy but he's not going to add anything onto that average now. better to go for a foreign 5-pointer.
