A team manager would want whoever is likely to score the most points and that isn't Max Perry, he improved his average by a little last season but you would not call him up and coming, if Workington were able to fit him in then Etherington would not have a team place, would Perry beat Etherington on a regular basis, not sure he would.

Increased average to me is heading in the right direction

Not quickly enough if you are a team manager, Glasgow picked Hodder who in their view has more potential, Oxford picked Wood and Ritchings who had points to play with so could easily have picked Perry, most teams could have had him, maybe get a team place later in the year for someone.

Berwick could have easily fitted him in but stuck with Smith

Don't know if anyone knows on here, whats up with the Worrals this year? just not in team plans, or publicly said on socials not interested no more (Richie had his year drug ban up (and doubt he's coming back), but thought Steve would be still in team plans somewhere)  

Retired at the end of last season

Business men now, seperate ventures  and making good money apparently. They both achieved enough in speedway and wouldn't of benefited from carrying on , so have made mature decisions imo.

The club better not sign Lambert as final rider

Absolutely nothing v Lambo he is a bit of a club legend. But it might be time for change for rider and club ? Not sure how much above 4pts we have to play with ? I do think we need some experience alongside Ryan Ingram. Paul Starke 4.13 might be a good shout ? Experienced, has had good meetings at Scunny in the past and that 4.13 might be a steal ?

That's what a few clubs have thought in the past few years, for a rider who has years of experience, starting on a low average, should increase that, but for some reason or another, he is still on a low 4 point average

Would suggest that Lambert would be better option than Starke.IMO
