Thought Lambert was off elsewhere

Didn’t realise Killeen got a reduction he’s Aussie isn’t he

Agreed think pooles 1-5 will be weaker than Oxford’s rumoured top 5 and Glasgow well we will wait and see as they have 2 unknown riders in at 2&4. And as you say Poole look strong in the reserve berth with the potential signing of Cooper Rushen,on paper one of the stronger pairings but not many reserve pairings have been announced yet,actually thinking about it I would have to say Redcars reserve pairing has to be the strongest looking at it again.

Agree there I feel Tobi done great for Poole but I feel Gilkes is a better rider and at no2 will be rock solid and could even change to no4 and Bowes go to number 2 I do feel Gilkes is a very shrewd signing just needs to stay out of trouble. if Zach and Cooper finish the team off I really like the riders in the number 2,4,6&7 positions much more excitement than the start of last year that’s for sure. And also a lot of potential in those 4 riders. Very happy Pirate fan

Very happy with that signing a very gd number 2 on a low average,hoping he can stay injury free next season and like you say should be getting upto mid 5pt I would say.

If kemp did stay they could slot in Gusts on 5.49 leaving 4.37 left for reserves,that would be a mighty strong top 5,Max Perry in the no6 spot at 2.29 then a 2.00 rider wouldn’t be a bad side at all.

Will Heeps carry on he was poor most of last year from memory and surely it’s time for Oxford to go in a different direction.

He will be most likely put at 3 I would of thought as Morris is a better rider that this level,if he gets ht12 instead of ht13 there’s no reason why he can’t hit his 7.35 average at all,I’m guessing this means no kemp now but I can’t see how he rides at Oxford unless him and Rowe have buried the hatchet now.

The plus for this team is 6 of those riders can hit the ground running with set ups there’s no getting used to a different track which will be a big plus for Redcar.

I would be pretty happy with that team,strongest reserve pairing in the league maybe not as strong at the top end with Jake Allen but I think a lot of teams will be weaker there with these new rules. think those reserves could win you matches and worse case scenario one moves up then Mulford going to reserve would arguably be the strongest reserve in the league.

Could they go Barker and Batchelor in the middle order and surprise a few and go for Thomsen at 2 with not so strong reserves.

Anyone have any ideas who it could be ?

I’m assuming that 40.00 is the limit this year as Glasgow have announced there team. Only Official Announcements to be put on here please. Can this also be pinned thanks Mods. Berwick Bandits 1.

Think Mario Hausl is off to Glasgow.

Is Zach still an option then?
