I agree Jorgensen is likely to drop 2 points off his average, but maybe Berwick couldn't find any other heat leaders?

Every other Brit shows their final ave, not including reduction, so it wouldn't make sense for Bickley to be listed as 2.93? I'm under the impression it's a mistake & he should be on a 3.00 ave.

Reading rumours of Masters & Kerr joining Oxford, but that would mean no Nicholls & I'd expect he was a certainty to return?

2.00 is the minimum for Brits. 3.00 is the minimum once a Brit has averaged above 3.00, so that should be Bickley's ave not 2.93

Starke would fit instead of Morley

I can't imagine Glasgow would let Brennan go. Think Nick Morris has an average well above his ability, looks a quirk of the 10 match rolling aves rather than his true ability, as all his poor matches early season have been scrubbed from the stats!

Built to always have one strong reserve!

Edinburgh won the league in 2015 with 2 x 3.00 reserves (the minimum average then). Both (Clegg & Branford) only finished with about 3.5 averages & stayed at reserve all year! Even if one of the top 5 had an off night, still got 4 potential double figure scorers in the team!

I'm not so sure about Pearson. Even if he puts 1.5 on his "actual" 2022 average he'd still finish below his 4.00 starting figure!

Those 6 would leave 8.34 for the final rider, which would fit Cook in perfectly (8.24). Don't imagine they would've dropped Cook in that scenario!

How about? Redcar Kyle Howarth 8.36 Charles Wright 7.40 Danyon Hume 5.68 Drew Kemp 5.20 Anders Rowe 5.08 Kyle Newman 4.29 Jason Edwards 3.80 Total 39.81

Now that the averages have been confirmed, this team fits! Scunthorpe Ryan Douglas 9.38 Michael P Toft 6.76 Jake Allen 6.30 Simon Lambert 5.20 Connor Mountain 4.72 Zaine Kennedy 4.27 Joe Thompson 3.27 Total 39.90

I'd possibly keep the top 3! Poole Steve Worrall 8.05 Danny King 8.05 Richard Lawson 7.97 Ben Cook 6.09 Zach Cook 4.92 Jake Mulford 2.00 Nathan Ablitt 2.00 Total 39.08

How about? Glasgow Ben Basso 8.52 Tom Brennan 6.71 Kyle Thomson 6.60 Broc Nicol 5.95 Paul Starke 5.11 Claus Vissing 5.00 Jake Mulford 2.00 Total 39.89

How about? Edinburgh Josh Pickering 8.92 Craig Cook 8.24 Justin Sedgmen 7.04 Cameron Heeps 4.33 Connor Bailey 4.32 Lasse Fredriksen 4.00 Kyle Bickley 3.00 Total 39.85

How about? Berwick Thomas Jorgensen 9.53 Leon Flint 7.00 Jye Etheridge 6.29 Paul Starke 5.11 Jonas Knudsen 5.00 Jesper Knudsen 5.00 Nathan Stoneman 2.00 Total 39.93

Plymouth ? Danny King 8.05 Richie Worrall 7.97 Ben Barker 7.80 Ben Morley 4.94 Dan Gilkes 4.55 Alfie Bowtell 4.28 Connor Coles 2.00 Total 39.59

Birmingham ? Chris Harris 8.76 Justin Sedgmen 7.04 Josh Auty 6.59 Paco Castagna 4.93 Stefan Nielsen 4.82 Ashley Morris 4.81 Kyle Bickley 3.00 Total 39.95

Not sure about that, Kemp has just finished with his highest ever Championship average & did enough to keep Zach Cook at reserve. Granted Kemp's scoring slowed down after he left the reserve berth, but that happens to most riders!

Complin's scores away from home were far better than at Newcastle. So if he found a track he liked, could up his average.

Most probably assume that as the club announced he wasn't coming back before Craig did!

Team managers job as well as Captains surely?

Gotcha

Poole have used Danes for years though! If they've managed it before why can't they now?

Bickley's ave should be a point lower than Complin's, leaves room to be stronger elsewhere though!
