I said it last year that I wouldn’t have Borke back, and for the same reasoning, I wouldn’t have Hume back. Unneeded risk out of loyalty, especially if we retain Hagon, can’t have our number 2 and 6 coming back from injuries.

Agreed but I think they’ll bring him back, they are loyal to a fault with a lot of riders and Hume also seems very popular with the casual Bandits fan, you can see that just by looking at the comments on Facebook for the last couple of seasons.

I think for similar reasons we’ll see Jack Smith back despite the fact he has probably peaked in his ability he seems very popular with the promotion and fans alike.

Personally I would have neither if your goal is to try and win a trophy or at least make the play offs for the first time in over a decade but that doesn’t often seem the goal.

While I totally get this logic, what would happen if every team decided not to sign riders who had finished the previous season injured?

Would all these riders retire? Have to get a day job that doesn't fit in with Speedway? Sign for multiple foreign teams & leave GB speedway behind?

Where would then all the replacements come from?

I guess it all depends on how badly a rider was injured & how likely they are to return fully fit? Can clubs just trust a riders opinion, for example Borke felt he was fully fit & just needed time, but Berwick felt he clearly wasn't right. How can a club judge a rider in the off season, waiting for some early season individuals isn't really an option to test fitness as clubs will want to be organised long before then.

I've a feeling Poole will come and sign Morris its just what they do each year. Morris is certainly the best rider under a 8pt average 

If  i was a betting man would happily put money on Nick being a Bandit 2026

There is very little point in bringing Morris over for a few fixtures last season if there wasn't some kind of agreement to come back for next.

Would agree, but Speedway  Riders and money.Highest Bidder has a good chance evert time.
