Been hinting at this for past 2 days on here

Chill out guys. I'm sure news will come soon. I've got a good feeling about this weekend.

You never know. We may get an announcement soon. Maybe this weekend. Who knows?

What do you mean by different riders?

I got around to listening to said podcast. It featured James the comets coach and he said there are 4 riders all but done and a few more needed. He did say that they are in talks with a dane so would be interesting to see who that is. I just want to see who we are going to be seeing next year. I loved Sam last season and can only presume that Craig will be number 1. The rest is a mystery.

Was it a recent episode? They seem to do them every week or so.

A former dane comet in talks to return? Do you have alink to this podcast?

@Neila any truth in Bailey already signed a contract for a different team? Real shame, he's going to be a phenomenal rider.

Hopefully we see the best of him. I heard a lot of rumblings around the ground when he rode but he's a young rider who's having some troubles. This season wasn't a true reflection of his ability so hopefully he returns and rides like he knows he can. It's just a shame that the development leagues are going to be no more. How are they planning to provide pathways for younger riders

Any idea what is happening with young Harry next season? Seems a real shame for him. He was a fantastic rider in the previous season but that crash knocked his confidence

Sam has been quite easily my favourite rider this season. He came in with a low average and excelled with every passing ride. What I love about him is his confidence. He experienced a few horrific crashes this season but bounced back as if it didnt affect him at all. Also love how he loves taking that outside line.

I would 100% have young Sam back. He's improved massively this season and will only get better. He has a great mentality too. He's had some bad crashes this season and hasn't let them effect him one bit.

Not OP but I've heard 38

Bailey as a reserve? In the championship? I hope you are joking because he currently rides in the championship and I think you should go have a look at his average

Some fantastic racing today. Very surprised with Crangy. Plagued with bike issues and injury but last match of the season and he turned up. Special shout out to Connor, what a brilliant rider, thankyou for this season. I have no doubt that you'll be a top rider and I don't expect you riding in the NDL next season. Would really like to see Sam, Luke, and Ace back and if crangy continues like that I'd have him back, especially with such a low average. Lastly, Senna, you were a breath of fresh air. Although you only got 1 point, you rode your heart out. In comparison to Harry, you were amazing. Not to hate on Harry though, I know he's lacking on confidence and I would love to see him return one day.

Some good riding today from a lot of young and old riders. Ashton Boughen is an absolute star. He is phenomenal t 15 years old and only been doing speedway for a year or so. Not sure if I heard right but I'm sure he said he's got offers from championship, premiership and polish teams. He won't be in the NDL next season I don't think. Coming back to comets tho, I was very impressed with Sam, Elliot, and even Crangy. All three riders have had a downturn in form recently and this was some well needed track time and all of them showed great improvement, particularly Elliot. On the other hand we have Harry who just doesn't seem like he's going to improve. He done well at Edinburgh the other week but at what point do you go this isn't working anymore. It was a shame that Kyle Bickley didn't have the return we were all hoping for. You could tell he was rusty but there's a good rider in there, he just needs to get back to it. Would love to see him return next year.

31-17 to Edinburgh. We are struggling with our starts and the bends. Riding with Harry and Elliot is like riding with two down. I remember watching Dayle Wood at start of season. That kids improved massively whereas we have Harry and Elliot who have regressed.

Can't see a comets win today. Although Edinburgh don't have a great record, we've been severely lacking. Crangy being out is a struggle when we are replacing him with Harry, who hasn't performed all season and Elliot who, after his month out, hasn't got back to the level he was at. Itll be a tough match up and be nothing like the home leg. On a positive note, excited to see Ace again because he's going to be a phenomenonal rider. He made last week exciting when other top riders weren't performing their best.

Hagon impressed me last weekend. That boy can ride. He was pushing connor right to the end of one of the heats.

Yeh I heard that. Also heard we'd need a rider to replace connor for one of the meets. Think we should try rail bickley back in

I had a look into harry because at the start of the season he was off 7. I believe he had a crash last season so would explain his confidence issues. You can tell its confidence as he's a decent rider when he gets ahead on the first bend but when he's behind he just doesn't fight for it. I've watched a few highlights off him from last couple year and he's miles better.

Sam is a good rider. Inconsistent but he's young and has something about him. I dont know how it'd sit if you get rid of his brother though

I agree with a few things that's been said. The abuse from the fans, especially to a young lad is unacceptable. Yes, that decision was piss poor but that isn't the riders fault. Boughen should've been excluded, if not the first time, definitely the second time when he fell in the exact same place. The difference was our lower point riders. Harry and elliot aren't good enough. 4 points over 11 heats between them is poor. Although I think crangy needs to do better, it would've been a lot closer today with him riding.

Hoping Harry rides better today.

I'm not sure it would have done any good. He'd be riding against some of the best youth riders. If anything it could knock his confidence more. Think we know what he's capable of but it's up to the professionals to figure out how to get it out of him.
