This morning's briefing makes clear the club are aiming to finalise the squad with a new face.

No rush, either.     Where should they be looking?

Slater Lightcap - with a free visit from Greg Hancock included in the price. Mind you, he’ll also demand free parking

Now that the septet is complete I think we can all agree that this is a superb team put together by Stewart and co.

First things first it’s great to see Jye back and with the captains armband and I’m glad Stewart and the promotion could see the mistake they made by letting him leave for Workington last season. A Bandits legend and one who will continue to beat anyone and everyone around Sheilfield.

Reid looks an exciting prospect from what I can see and I’m sure him and the Jack Smith will soon become one of the best reserve pairings in the league.

Combine that with a big hitting top 3 and the ever improving Lasse and I can’t fault the team at all. If we manage to avoid the bad luck that has haunted us over the past few seasons then I don’t see why this team can’t challenge for some silverware.

Well will be an interesting signing that’s for sure. A hard racer but from what I’ve seen of him racing in Aus is he spends a fair amount of time on the floor or in the fences. 
also he was the rider that wiped Chris holder out in his first meeting in Aus this season. 
I think Berwick may be a bit of a challenge for him to start with

12 month ago so many wanted jye out 

Funny how a season away makes people see the good in a rider that had a poor run of form 

Dont get me wrong there's plenty on workington forum that didn't want jye back but id have welcomed him back if he was here in 2026

Unless there are some big surprises that doesn’t look a Top 4 Team .IMO

Happy to be proved wrong though.
