Panther1997

Was always going to be the first signing for this season, a real crowd pleaser, a bargain average to have at home.

And we are gonna have 10 riders before the start of April

I though Morris's average was 4.98??

Top 5 of : 1. Brady Kurtz 7.65 2. Simon Lambert 5.25 3. Kenneth Hansen 6.74 4. Jonas B Anderson 6.30 5. Ulrich Ostergaard 7.14 Total 33.08 6.92 for 2 reserves 6. 4.92 7. 2.00

Surely Schlein, must become a Championship rider next year on a 7.17 average? Panthers? Always been linked in the past couple of years

SIGNING | Sheffield Tigers announce Lasse Bjerre as their first rider for 2017. No baby Bjerre at Panthers next year

No GP rider restrictions in either league.

Is the national league still running as there is no mention of it anywhere?

'No team changes will be permitted in either league after July 31.' Well thats us (Peterborough) and Rathbone screwed

'No team changes will be permitted in either league after July 31.' Well thats us and Rathbone screwed

This article by Mr Woffinden suggests this rule is already coming into play. http://www.expressandstar.com/sport/other-sport/speedway/2016/10/13/tai-woffinden-success-even-sweeter-at-end-of-wolves-career/

Going on my previous team before hand, (if Hansen.s Ave does go up to 6.75) Then my 2017 team would be 1. Brady Kurtz - 9.22 2.Simon Lambert -5.25 3.Kenneth Hansen -6.75 4.Lasse Bjerre -6.65 5.Ulrich Ostergaard -7.23 6.Tom Perry - 3.76 7. Danny Phillips/Halsey -3.00 Total : 41.86

Kenneth Hansen not wanted by Worky. Could he be our first signing?

Very sad day for British Speedway.

Unfortunately I agree with Ully

My Panthers team for 2017 would be: 1. Brady Kurtz - 9.22 - after a not so good year at Poole, may want to drop back down to PL full time to get some confidence back. 2. Simon Lambert - 5.25 - fairly consistent and if needed to drop to reserve would be a powerful reserve. 3. Kenneth Hansen - 6.25 -IMO can put 1, maybe 2 points on that average 4. Lasse Bjerre - 6.65 -IMO can put 1 point on that average 5. Richie Worrall -8.33 - always impressed me round the showground, always a consistent scorer elsewhere in the PL. 6. Tom Perry - 3.76 -IMO can put 1 point on that average as shown, early part of last season before an unlucky break. 7. Danny Phillips / Danny Halsey or another national league rider - 3.00 - Phillips due to being an asset and sponsored by Ged. Total 42.46

Personally I think you will struggle to keep Holder, Newman or Kurtz.

Must: Hansen and L.Bjerre due to there low average I'd love: B.Kurtz, S.Worrall, R.Worrall, Cook, Jake Allen More likely: Jonas B. S.Lambert (Who I would mind), Ulrich (Unfortunately imo) One reserve I would like is: T.Perry - imo was very unfortunate last season.

Out of that team the riders that i would have would be, Hansen, Bjerre, Perry and possibly Morris. The other 3 riders are very inconsistent imo.

For me, now that we know we are going to have a team, a big thank you to Ged. Ged has said he wants our home form to improve. The first two riders I would get on very good aveages are- Kenneth Hansen - 6.25 Lasse Bjerre - 6.65
