Would like to see Flint in for PK but I’m not even sure that’s possible with him doing Poland. Whispers are kemp could be back. If that’s happening he needs to be read the riot act and stop giving up when at the back. It would be good to keep JJ but I suspect with a new born he may prefer to be closer to home. On his current form VP is on a good average but needs to keep performing consistently. Having a very strong reserve has worked very well for us this year, if we can’t keep JJ maybe bring in Rasmus Pedersen in as a big hitting reserve.  I fully expect Reggie back as skipper and righty so. I’m unsure about Smith he hasn’t been terrible at home this season but absolutely useless away. Maybe Summers comes in.

Think we have to take a chance with a young rider at 2nd reserve and hope they can improve throughout the season.PK will be hard to replace around Shielfield.

If given the opportunity to get used to the track Harry Fletcher could do well. He wasn’t a million miles away when he was a guest for us. However Summers would be my preference is he fits.

Agree the 2 that are signed plus JJ and Jye, going to be very hard to replace PK, maybe Dick could unearth another Reid when he's in Aus.

At least you've put it on the correct thread Dicks put it on last seasons thread.

Tbf he also thinks it is 2927 next year, so there is no hope! Interesting that Oxford going for top heavy and Berwick more strength in depth. Though not sure how much is left for final 2.

Assume it 40 point limit again

Sure Berwick finished about 

1.5 or around that over so never going to fit in an over 8 guy if say palovaara back

Even at that it looks like a 2 point at 7

 

Would Palovara and Max Perry fit?

No, averages too high.

Morris, Battye, Kemp, Jenkins and Etheridge leaves 7.77 for 2 riders (assuming 40 total and that my maths is right).

Leaves options along the lines of:

Palovaara and a 2 pointer;

Or Dayle Wood and Hodder/Foord;

Or Mitchell Cluff and Sam Hagon/a 4.00 newcomer.

Solid looking team so far, especially around Shielfield. Personally I'd guess Wood and Hodder as the reserves, but Cluff can't go Armadale at all and is a good gater so could be a shrewd signing for Berwick

I believe your maths is wrong, taking into account the 2.5% British reductions there's 8.37 left for the last 2 riders. Jake Allen and a 2.00er fit perfectly:

1 Nick Morris 7.80
2 Jye Etheridge © 6.32
3 Jake Allen 6.37
4 Reid Battye 5.32
5 Drew Kemp 7.14
6 Jordan Jenkins 5.05
7 Summers/Fletcher 2.00
    40.00

Could also go with Jason Edwards rather than Jake Allen or Victor Palovaara and Max Perry rather than Jake Allen and 2.00er.
