I would imagine so, it maybe depend upon where he pledges his international allegiances to Britain or Aussie.
-
Still made the play offs though so not to bad of a season. I think the key was the young guy Williamson, if he could have score a few more points things might have been better. The good thing about Scunny over the last three seasons is the continuity of the side, and the very few changes that Rob Godfrey has to make and keep a nucleus of very good solid riders and it worked to a certain extent.
-
Or if they want to go with a couple of youngsters James Birkinshaw and Scott The Scud Smith.

Did Scunthorpe have any rider who was a big hitter last season?

I think that there are lots of options for the club to chose from who could be looking to come to the club. Simon Stead is a must, and I think the Promotion know that he is pivotal to the success of the club. Would be gobsmacked if Josh Bates is not included due to his family connection with some of the Promotion, also helps to sell the club to potential sponsors if you have a British champion in the team. I can see Ty Proctor back, did a lot to help Promote the club during the time he was injured and on a average of 6.27 has to be a steal, and could and should put a least a point on that average, he has made no secret of the fact that he wants to ride for the club next season. Ash Birks is another rider who I would expect would be back at Sheffield next season, two of his sponsors are PBHS the Bates family business and Wosskow Brown who are part of the Sheffield sponsorship team. Also said in the speedway star that a former Tiger was desperate to come back to the club. Could Ash be on his way back to his hometown club? Also said in the Speedway Star that an exciting young British rider has asked about riding for the club, look at the front of Jason Garrity's bike carries the logo of PBHS. Could the exciting young Brit be Jason? Peter Mole has a number of riders in his Drillerman racing team that he sponsors in that team he has the Kurtz brothers, Somerset will have to trim down their team down to comply with the points limit. I think Brady is a bit ambitious, but Todd could well be a possibility maybe? Kevin Wolbert looked at home riding for the South Yorkshire Tigers on the many occasions he Guested for the club, surely must come into consideration.. And of course lets not forget Taylor Poole if he fit, Adam Roynon on a very low average maybe he miht fancy coming back to the club, Leigh Lanham on a low average maybe start the seson at reserve and the same goes for Nico Covatti. And then add Ben Wilson, how many heat 1 advantages did him and Steady get together last season, and a fully fit Andre Compton might just fancy another crack at riding for the Tigers. Just a few names thrown into the pot. And I have not mention the name Arthur Sissis. I think we need to build a team around Simon Stead, one that will score solidly to back up a top notch number 1 that Simon Stead is.

Not sure what the qualification for new riders apart from they have to reached a certain standard in their State Championships. Mind you rumor has it that young Arthur's Great Granny was born in Chesterfield, which would mean would not need a permit and would come in on a very attractive 3 point average.
-
One thing is certain if does make a return to Shale there will be a glut of clubs after his signature, he was and still probably will be a very talented speedway rider. If the new Sheffield Promotion have pulled this one off then they have signed potentially a very hot prospect.

Will not be that team well over the points limit. -
Very interesting, he was always viewed as a hot prospect that got away from the sport.
-
Disappointed me and SKJ, could not attend last night. So looks like we will have to wait until the Conference for how the team will be formed for next season. Hopefully the Premier League Promoters will tell the Elite League Promoters to do one regarding amalgamation, the Elite has got itself in the predicament that they find themselves in, and its their problem that they need to sort out.
-
Born over here and has a British born Mother and Father. So I would safely bet that yes he will.

If Grigorij Laguta Came To The Pl

Sheffield, but it ain't gonna happen. -
Another takeover. NL would not work North of the Border with very few young Scottish riders and the likelihood of riders been prepared to travel up North is highly unlikely. Hopefully the future of the club will become clearer.

42.06.

Add Plymouth and Ipswich to the list as well. To be fair David Bellego has a wicked riding style which suits the Sheffield track, reminds me so much of Richard Hall who equally is exciting and enjoyable around Sheffield. But like Richard there is question marks when he goes to the smaller tracks. Halifax is correct when he says that the main aim for Sheffield to get back to Fortress Owlerton and win home meetings, but I think there are other riders out there who maybe ride Sheffield well but offer more when we go on our travels.
-
Both meetings this season at Sheffield he was superb, its those other performance at other away tracks that puts me off.
-
Exciting and flamboyant to watch. Thanks but no thanks. Has an away average last season of 5.44 without bonus points. Take put his two Sheffield performances it then drops to 4.70. What can't speak can't lie. He is a Richard Hall with an exotic surname.
-
Not even considered Adam Roynon, but looking at his finishing average he is a steal. Not sure how he would feel about coming back after been dropped this season, but for me if we can get him at reserve he would fly. Team for me Stead Birks Wolbert Poole Proctor Roynon Bates Comes in at 42.46.
-
On that average certainly would not rule out Big Leigh for next season, but for me it would have to;be at reserve. A run at reserve could just be what the doctor ordered for Big Leigh.

Or Sheffield..
