having seen Scott last season he wont be 'woefully out of his depth' at all, or is it just a case of Ipswich fans putting down young british riders again?

Scott in the NDT around Lynn was class. He showed he can gate and race from the back. Watching him work his way through was a highlight. Deserves a chance and he’s local.

I've just come in from the shed having spent a couple of hours with a piece of 4x2 that shows greater understanding

He may or may not be out of his depth but in the team listed he is the RS so does not carry any average and therefore irrelevant  to the debate

Each team has that young Brit in that place

The No6 position does form part of the team limit and it is there that the minimum standard requirement is pertinent 

Now Cooper may or may not struggle in that position. If he excels even I would be delighted. By crikey we could do with a dozen more like him!

However he is rather the exception 

So again, the Premiership is not the place for 2 point newcomers in the No6 position

I’m of the understanding that Cooper will start on a 3 average at number 6 in the prem… or is it 2?

Assuming no change on conversion rate and home grown reduction  - 3.02

The only Rider that fits @ No.2 who finished the 2025 PREM Season on a 4+ GSA is Paco Castagna.

4.00 Newcomer is the only other option.

It seems a sensible team to me but nothing will or can be announced until the powers at be declare the rules for top tier league speedway in the UK for 2026.

Gusts has a 3.00 Prem average, he could ride at 6 instead of using 2 x RS
