I'd love Brennan to be back in Red & Black next year but if Ipswich are losing Sayfutdinov then they'll surely retain him.

I think Tom is already signed at Ipswich for next year tbh. Along with this witches post, Tom posted a pic in witches suit a few days ago with caption “👀⚡️all eyes on 2026 planning already…”

Maybe different now he's had a big accident

Can we keep Kurtz for home matches and Bewley for away ones please?

You'd rather watch Kurtz ride the NSS than Bewley... go see a shrink!  No finer sight in the sport than Bewley throttle jockeying the NSS... (Sorry Ipswich fans).

Plus he's more likely to miss the gate than Kurtz.

Yes I'd rather watch Kurtz at Belle Vue, less said about his away 'efforts' the better.

Brady was less than a point better away than Jaimon but that’s more a reflection on Jaimon being one of the better away riders than Brady being particularly poor.

Bewley has a better away average, 8.25 compared to Kurtz 7.76, is better to watch at the NSS and is more willing to team ride.  But if Aces can keep both they surely will.  Absolutely no point in preserving with Zischke for a year if they are to abandon him now when he's on a 3.00 reason, but h's on a 3.00 average for a reason because the reserves were what let Belle Vue down.  Would have to look at the RS list when it's published to see if there is anyone preferable to Mulford.  Cairns didn't really impress in his only NSS Premiership outing.
Would only consider Lidsey if Kurtz/Bewley spearhead isn't possible.

Average wise there’s only Gilkes and Edwards better than Jake for next season  

I’d stick with Tate on a 3. 

We need to focus on our dreadful away form as we only won 4. We need to match the top two in the league who were excellent with 5 wins each.
