TTT

Won't be Tungate imo because he can't ride technical tracks for toffee lol. I think you've got Richie Worrall. That's just me guessing though.

Not doing Prem. Think he's been offered a full time job on commentary with Kelvin.

Is this your team? 1. Chris Harris 2. Marcin Nowak 3. Tom Brennan 4. Keynan Rew 5. Benjamin Basso 6. Tate Zischke 7. Ace Pijper

Could do. That's certainly how Poole operate.

5 locks imo (Stevie, Lawson, Ben, Zach & JT) Riders on 5.00-5.99 GSA's - Nicol, D. Thompson, Ruml, Starke, Kemp & Rew Riders on 4.00-4.99 GSA's - Bowtell, Newman & Zischke No.7's - J. Smith, Bickley, Ablitt + More 2.00 pointers Pirates of Poole said no to both Aussie's, Bowtell rumoured for either Brum or Plymouth, Nicol was supposed to be going to Redcar before somebody messed up their team plans and he's now been left out of job altogether apparently. Starke & Newman are yesterday's news to put it as politely as possible. Looks like 3 options to me. Kemp + Ablitt Ruml + Ablitt D. Thompson + J. Smith

Would have to be Jack Smith if the other 6 are locks considering Jack's average is the only one who gets close to the 3.10. I'm not convinced that Dan Thompson will be in the side though as he doesn't strike me as a signing that Poole would make.

Riders Under 3.10 Jack Smith (Favourite imo) Kyle Bickley (Heavily rumoured for Edinburgh) Numerous amount of 2.00 Pointers

Any takers? 1. Jason Doyle 10.32 2. Hans Andersen 4.93 (Track specialist who will offer Home form stability) 3. Danny King 6.40 4. Erik Riss 6.00 5. Przemyslaw Pawlicki 6.75 (Was going to join last year) 6. Keynan Rew 4.00 7. Jack Thomas (RS)

I was thinking about Rasums Jensen's availability when asking that question because he's not riding in the Ekstraliga. I fully trust you on your 4 mate.

Does the 3 league rule only apply to the Ekstraliga riders? I remember last year where riders in the 1st and 2nd tier of Polish Speedway were riding in 3+ leagues while Ekstraliga riders were only allowed to do 2.

MPT is more than capable of winning the big Heats around Lynn. He's underrated imo. Picko & Jakobsen are two big average improvers. KK won't be as bad as the majority think imo. He'll have a couple of his cba nights along the way but I think he'll do well enough in the end. I don't know how Ipswich & Leicester are going to finish off team building yet but I think the rumoured KL team is much better than Wolverhampton's 1-7.

Would be title favourites imo. 6 average improvers in that side.

NKI was doing 4 leagues at one stage. Only reason why he got pulled from starting KL meetings after a while was because Lodz started to lose meetings in the run-up to the play-offs.

Patryk Dudek is an easy deal to do if you offer him the money he wants because Patryk wants to ride in the UK for the right price and he doesn't have a club outside of Poland yet so there wouldn't be any obstacles in the way when it comes to the league ruling situation. Only question is whether we've got the funds left in the budget considering Chris Holder would be expensive and I think we've overpaid for Ben Basso for him to make a U-Turn within a week.

Assuming you mean Andersen at 2 is nailed on?

Me neither. I've got massive respect for Hans but I thought he struggled in the 1-5 during our title triumph season as well as last season tbh. The spell at reserve made his average jump up drastically imo.

I forgot about Flagrag mentioning Dan Thompson a couple of weeks ago. I think Jack Thomas is a lock for Poole now because Oxford would've snapped him up on a bargain average imo and they're paying good money to riders going by the comments of Redcar's promotion when they revealed their 1-7 last week so Jack must be joining a powerhouse team imo and he's not been linked with Glasgow at all. 1. Steve Worrall 8.05 2. Zach Cook 4.92 3. Ben Cook 6.09 4. Dan Thompson 5.09 5. Richard Lawson 7.96 6. Jack Thomas 4.77 7. 3.12 (Jack Smith or Kyle Bickley fit)

Joe is at Scunny.

After looking at the team line-ups for the foreign leagues I think we'll be going with NKI @ 1 with Noddy @ 5 due to a lack of options available for another big hitter imo. Rasmus Jensen has signed contracts in 3 countries already and Kenneth Bjerre has said no to British racing apparently. Tungate (Available if he's not at Ipswich) + 6.83 in the engine room is the most likely option imo. I still think Batch is at Ipswich because it doesn't make sense for Louis to get rid of him imo considering how effective his partnership with Doyle is.

Bjerre would've been my choice too but he's not doing UK apparently. That's the only reason why I didn't put his 7.75 average on the list of options.

1. Steve Worrall 8.05 2. Jack Thomas 4.77 3. Ben Cook 6.09 4. Zach Cook 4.92 5. Richard Lawson 7.96 6. Alfie Bowtell 4.28 7. 3.93 or 1. Steve Worrall 8.05 2. Zach Cook 4.92 3. Ben Cook 6.09 4. Dillon Ruml 5.47 or Drew Kemp 5.19 5. Richard Lawson 7.96 6. Jack Thomas 4.77 7. 2.74 or 3.02

Don't teams get to protect the rider they had from the previous season?

We're almost in total agreement. I've got two possible teams written down for Ipswich. Team 1 - Doyle, Batch, R. Worrall, Riss, King, Rew & J. Thomas Team 2 - Doyle, Rew, King, Riss, Zagar, Hume & J. Thomas

How far off am I? 1. Steve Worrall 8.05 2. Zach Cook 4.92 3. Ben Cook 6.09 4. Keynan Rew 5.00 5. Richard Lawson 7.96 6. Jack Thomas 4.77 (Must be at a powerhouse club considering he's not at Oxford who pay good money) 7. 3.21 (Kyle Bickley or Jack Smith)

Zagar 7.20
