Buster says 23 otherwise he'll walk away lol.

Joking aside I hope they bring in a One Rider Over 8.00 Rule next season, Should have Kurtz, Bewley, Doyle, Fricke, Douglas & J. Holder on 8+. 

Would result in a fairer League that see's something like....

BV - Kurtz & Lidsey

IPS - Bewley/Doyle + Musielak

KL - Fricke/Douglas + Kvech

LEI - Fricke/Douglas + Masters

NOR - Bewley/Doyle + Lawson

SHE - J. Holder & Pickering

 

The goal should be signing riders and nurturing them into top stars. If ALL clubs attempted this we wouldn’t have the yearly scramble for riders suitable for heat fifteen. The utopia would be to get to a point where teams didn’t need to be constantly raided to bolster other clubs and this would also allow fans to build up a stronger affinity with “their” riders. Generally riders that have come through the ranks in the UK stick around even when reaching GP stardom and the pull through from world exposure can only be a good thing at domestic level. 

Just looking at my team over the last few years we have seen several riders doing just that. 

Brady Kurtz 7.50

Max Fricke 4.50

Jaimon Lidsey 4.00

Dan Bewley 3.00

Tom Brennan last pick RS

It was pertinent that the SGP went ahead despite the heavy rain, of course did the conditions mean that Jack and Jason's crash happened, asking here as I don't watch the GPs this season and I am not paying for TNT.

Coleman of course alluded to all of this in his comments in the wake of the Ips v Belle Vue match the other week.

FIM Moto TV is an option - I watched both Manchester GPs for €14.99 ...

I might check that out! TY! 
I’ve been paying for one off streams this season in order to watch a bit of league speedway.

Danny has pulled out of tonight's match for Plymouth following the injury he picked up after his fall last night. 

He will now miss both meetings against Leicester next week. Get well soon mate, we need you!

What do Mayfield do? Hellstrom-Bangs has to go for sure.

Kevin Juhl Pedersen has been impressive so far but Jonas Jeppesen is available again on a 4.34 after being released by Northampton.

Has to be Jepppesen for me, his 4.48 average just fits below PHB.

Would strengthen Witches quite a bit imo

He hasn't said about not riding next week? And missing championship through injury doesnt automatically rule him out? He may still miss them but hopefully hes back if hes just sore

I would go for KJP, as no6 isn't the only position we need to make a change.  By signing KJP on 3.53 in place of PHB on 4.50 assessed, we give ourselves another point up our sleeve to make a further change elsewhere

Not sure it would give you another point as the team is nearly a point over the team limit.If you bring KJP for Bangs the next change would be pretty much like for like average wise.

Bangs gone. A swap for laguta at wroclaw obviously on the cards 

Wroclaw had told the Aces and Ipswich that the Aces will keep Doyle and Dan will ride for Ipswich in the play offs.

They don't want Dan and Brady riding in the same team over here in case they crash into each other...:D
