When our full team is announced, you can have a go at it. At the moment you're just wasting your time.

My thinking entirely.

Morris in the team ? Absolutely no way !

They also explicitly ruled out Well's saying he wouldn't be the team. So after last years mega changes, maybe they are over their sentimentality for the 'old guard'. Sadly, I think Adam is too much of a risk.

The impression I got didn't seem to suggest Skornicki.

I was there, and that is incredible coverage. Well done !

I'm fully in the sign Masters camp. He can improve further

Those are pretty depressing thoughts. I hope you're way off!

Who in their right mind would want to read that amount of utter bilge.(starman's 15k posts)

I don't think you know our Mr Klindt very well , it's small tracks that he's poor at ! When he was with us the hope was, well can he score at Swindon, Peterborough etc to make up for the home form. And Leicester a small track ???????

No I don't want Howarth as a heat leader, not sure I want him as second string on that average! However, hes in, so that's that. I think if we have Masters we will be very hard to beat at home, and able to keep it close away. With only 1 reserves race, then the importance of a strong pair of reserves diminishes.Clegg really improved at the end of last season and hopefully he could cope with being the senior reserve, at least at home. There is more to come from him. A solid team without Masters doesn't appeal.

Thank you, I'm totally clear now.

I think its critical that we sign Masters. Then we have 2 heat leaders who are capable of improvement (Thorssell the other)

SCB - as you are the respected wise sage of the forum, is Howarth a poor/expensive signing on that average ? Sorry - wrong thread.

I bloomin' well hope that Masters is one of the three.....................................................................

Slightly surprised at the signing of Howarth. He could be considered expensive on that average. We will need him to ride like the end of season Howarth and not the beginning and middle season Howarth.

I'd assumed that a few pages back. Money talks...............................

There seem to be few hints on the Poole thread about Klindt. As we know Ford loves grabbing bargain averages, so I think we can count him out.

Too much of a gamble after his injuries I feel.

Well there's the other rider from last year, Bech..........................................................

That would quite a top 4 if we signed Klymakorpi (and Masters). I assume that would leave us very weak the bottom.

And vice versa

The difference between Kennett's home and away average is huge, so not sure about his all round ability.....................................................................

Hmm, we'll have to see then. Given a choice I would have Jacob back. He's been a slow burner with steady improvement each year. As regards Freddie, I am delighted, it's an early Christmas present. In terms of value for the average, he's the best around. (obviously Doyle is the best rider around, Freddie couldn't beat him on his last visit to Monmore)

My interpretation would be countries as opposed to absolute leagues. So Jacob would be racing in his domestic league, the Polish league and the British league.
