1	Richard Lawson ©	8.16
2	Jordan Jenkins	5.05
3	Mitchell McDiarmid	5.53
4	William Cairns	6.45
5	Luke Harrison	5.71
6	Slater Lightcap	4.00
7	Cooper Rushen	5.01

The ultimate strength in depth team? 😁 Number 5 is a little weak, although if one of the youngsters breaks out then maybe not, but them reserves would clean up at every track and there's still a strong number 1.

Harrison has been at 5 for Scunthorpe for much of the season. Also let's not forget Kyle Newman..

The Danes are going to be unreal in 5-10 years, probably the nation who'll be pushing Poland and Australia the most. They're the big 3 in years to come imo.

Agreed they do look like they will be a real force in 4-5 years could be the next generation of Gunderson, Neilson, Peterson, Knudsen and Jan O'Pederson we need someone to break Polands hold on the sport.

I do think Cairns, Scott and Cooper will all be future gp riders we just ideally need another two really good UK youngsters to come through to get a decent world team cup squad.

I had Kyle Newman instead of Jenkins, but then I thought Jenkins would push Cooper to reserve, so why not 😁 I also rate Jenkins higher than Newman and think that his 5.05 average is a bargain (although I know Kyle is loved at Poole)

Why not both but no Mitch?

Mitch is better than both imo 🤷‍♂️ but I guess it all depends on what the Pirates want, I'm not involved in the club at all. Did love my 3 or 4 trips there throughout the years, but it's been a while. I expect Poole to put another championship winning team out..... Again.

Mitch over Kyle for sure. One is young and improving and one is at their level. 

Edit - although expect Mitch to be at Oxford?

I'm sure Poole have the power and reputation to just about to sign anyone they want at this level. Who wouldn't want to ride for a team who's basically guaranteed top spot and probably the grand final? They do it every year.

Probably Mitch will be back at Oxford, but I'm sure his head can be turned if Poole decided he was the final piece of the puzzle. Same goes for just about all the riders in this league.
