He averaged 5.00 in the Premier League where as Josh Bates and Paul Starke averaged higher and I would consider those to have done better than Sarjeant did. In fact I am surprised that Bates wasn't the Tier 1 above him. That said he is a good rider and will get better but it is going to be tough for him and Wolves have a very good Tier 1 in Howarth and while I like Max Clegg I think he will also find it hard next season with some good number 7s already named. With the main body of the team at Wolves they are surely looking at a big hitting number one as the averages in 2015 means they have to get one to get upto 40.5

Through choice and when he moves up a good rider moves down

Far too many doubling up riders anyway. If a rider can average over 7 in the Premier League they should not double up and either stay in the Premier or move up. Not good when you have riders as good as Cook Kennett or Stead doubling up Tier 1 draft riders are British riders on Premier League converted averages. Each team picks one of the 12 (some protected) so Wolves would have been second pick after Leicester with I presume Worrall Garrity and Newman protected. The concern I feel is there will be a list of 24 heat leaders and each team is allowed to use three. With riders like Lindgren 6.11 and Bjerre 5.76 on the list how will some teams get close to the limit as six riders at 6 is only 36 and with a number 7 being a 3.00 and most tier 1 riders around 4-5 it means the top 5 for most teams needs to be 33-34 points which is over 6.5 each on average. If Wolverhampton bring in Lindgren 6.11 and the two new reserves 7.27 it leaves about 27 points for the last four and with one rumoured to be a under 6 and Andersson 5.50 possibly it leaves about 16 for the last two if whispers are true. Doyle would have to be signed to get close to the limit so let's hope he isn't back at Poole with Holder and Andersen
-
It would be great to have Friday nights again to help get more kids involved and if it means no GP riders then so be it
-
Read the post properly. Przemyslaw WOULD BE a good signing As for Tier 1 read it is THOUGHT plus unless things have changed one on that list has been told they could be used as a FTR despite his experience
-
Peter Karlsson would be a good signing as he would be there as back up and not expected to score like a heat leader but on his day and at second string he can do well. Dakota North will be back at Poole as a second string and Chris Harris is likely to be at Coventry (or Wolverhampton). Being close to Stanstead is good for riders to fly in and out as PK did when there with time to spare where as with Wolves a Monday isn't a great help if riding in Poland and Sweden
-
With Andreas Jonsson already named Kim Nilsson did an amazing job for them last season and maybe 6.98 is a high average but he scored the points and can again. Eddie Kennett obviously impressed with his doubling up and provides good support but Lakeside will need a third heat leader and maybe Batchelor or Watt could fill that role. Those four would be around 28 leaving just 12.5 for the last three which is 9.5 when you add a 3.00 number 7. Would Peter Karlsson 5.51 be a good second string for them to complete a strong top five and three Swedes. 1 Jonsson 2 Kennett 3 Nilsson 4 Karlsson 5 Watt 6 7 3.00
-
Przemyslaw Pawlicki would be a good signing and with Jason Doyle and Fredrik Lindgren it would be a good top three and if Musielak returns it could help having two Leszno riders together. As for Tier 1 reserves there will be a list of riders to pick from and while some may be protected it is thought riders like Ben Barker Daniel King Robert Lambert and Edward Kennett could be included along with Garrity Newman Worrall and Auty so each team will have a decent reserve to start with if these are allowed to be used
-
Zagar is unsure about riding here and I can't see why Holder would want to ride elsewhere as Poole have backed him in everything and he needs a good season again and moving wouldn't do him any favours. Davey Watt is most likely to be elsewhere with his 7+ average and if he is allowed to double up he could be a new number one at Somerset and heat leader at Leicester
-
If he got a top 8 place it would mean he can have the number 8 next season if he wanted but remember they get paid on finishing positions so the better he finishes the better he gets paid. No one expected Holder to have a nightmare in Australia and Kildemand had already shown he is ready to do a full season and next year looks like being even tougher with Hampel Pawlicki Zmarzlik and Lindback added.
-
Kildemand knew before Torun that he was in the 2016 Series and wasn't considering Britain next year anyway. If Swindon do get a track and get ready for next season they have Morris, Zengota and Batchelor already to pick from let alone Doyle so not having Kildemand won't be a problem and Shamek Pawlicki is also looking at Britain next season and with Zengota at Leszno could be a good thing. Just where they are going to ride a part from the Abbey or Oxford is the most worrying
-
Kurtz and Newman may not be right so he could fit even if it is.
-
Poole are almost certain to start with these five Chris Holder 7.47 Hans Andersen 6.45 Brady Kurtz 5.45 Dakota North 5.91 Kyle Newman 4.27 With the number 7 likely to be a 3.00 rider it leaves 7.95 for the last place. Kasprzak anyone
-
Considering that reserves can now move up into the main body of the team it is vital that you have a second string that will be a possible match winner when they drop down and therefore a low average to start with could be the key. Who would be the best option for this position from Tobiasz Musielak, Nicolai Klindt or Stuart Robson
-
I think Joel Andersson is going to be assessed at 5.50. May not be the number one but could Craig Cook 7.29 be set to join Wolves so he can continue with Edinburgh as Belle Vue are going to be a Friday night track next season.
-
After a period of time away I think there is a regulation that the team that holds his registration doesn't have much of a say on where that rider goes but will still get the loan fees etc. Same with Hancock when he helped Poole or if any rider returns after a long period of time. Add to that the big sponsorship he has in that area and with Stuart Douglas and it is unlikely he would be anywhere else
-
Just answering the post saying there is some top class riders around still and Doyle is rightly the world number 5 and could be a Coventry signing if they were in for him and he wanted a Friday track. Personally as long as they are not all classed as heat leaders Coventry I think could be Kasprzak, Harris, Kylmakorpi, King, (Robbo or someone), Garrity and a 3 point number seven.
-
Not sure if Ricky will be classed as a heat leader or Jacob Thorssell but Freddie Lindgren and Bjerre are likely to be. So Bjerre on a sub 6 average will start at 1 3 or 5 while a rider like Lambert could be a second string with Schlein also a heat leader ? It is a bit of a concern that a list of 24 heat leaders will be made up to ensure each team has 3. However if a new 6.50 rider comes in he will be added to the list. This means one of the 24 won't get a team place and if one team decides to go with only two from the list that is another not getting a team place. When full details are released hopefully it will be more understandable but it seems to be a tough decision for some
-
Pawlicki and Zmarzlik are not going to make up the numbers and Doyle and Janowski are getting better and better. Hampel and Dudek will push for a Poland top four also Be great if Sayfutdinov would be back but unlikely
-
No Janowski next season and Holder will decide on his plans in the new year and is unsure about how many leagues he needs to ride in but will be back for Torun at least. Brady Kurtz is a possibility and Davey Watt going in the opposite direction giving Poole Andersen North and Kurtz as the foundation along with Newman.
-
Joel Andersson is set to be in the Elite League and Wolverhampton is the most likely destination but what average will he come in on. Anything above 5.5 is a gamble and unless you can land a Dudek or Zmarzlik new faces may not be the best option and more trusted riders like Schlein or Barker may be better signings for consistency
-
Some riders are quite happy doing Poland Britain and Sweden in consecutive days so it gives them a break for a few days but some would rather do Sunday Tuesday and Thursday which is a more relaxed set up. Wolves are certainly in need of a big scorer like Doyle as the assets they have are no higher than 6.18 and really you would only say Lindgren on 6.11 is worth considering as a bargain and capable of improving. They also need a good reserve and that would mean another new face unless they are confident in a reserve pairing like Bates and Morris. Kylmakorpi was nearly signed in 2015 and after a decent season he could be joining his best friend at Monmore Green as back up to someone like Doyle or even Batchelor who could be available. Be interesting to see how many GP riders are here next season.

Just Got Back From Rome.........
INCOGNITO replied to Steve Shovlar's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
NEWS FLASH Hans Andersen has done a U turn on his two year deal with Poole Pirates after hearing of the return of the Lindback Loving S S Shovler claiming this town ain't big enough for the both of us -
Jacob Thorssell is more of a 7 points rider but only at Monmore Green and a 4 point rider away. However he is 22 and has vastly improved from the youngster who joined a few years ago. Barker however could be a useful signing if he is allowed to be a Tier 1 reserve as Jacob could then be a second string or even a reserve.
-
Can't have two Tier 1 reserves
