Yeah but a young rider on the up, id have him down as an improver next season

 

Maybe the job hes been offered is megabucks and simply too good to turn down, however its a shame to see a great talent packing in if indeed its true

Or does anyone think it's time we looked for someone else instead of rusty I personally think we should keep him for his last year of speedway over here before moving back to oz but 7.44 we could get a few decent riders Alden,bjerre,robson,vissing,auty,mellgren!

CW had a good meeting again for Somerset last night, I think they'll try to keep him. I've got the impression that he wouldn't come back to the Comets anyway from posts on the Unofficial site. Alden seems unreliable and only returned to Berwick after Ricky's crash, he'd walked out elsewhere not long after signing saying he wasn't riding in Britain anymore. Vissing seems to have had a mixed season for Edinburgh, is it only 2 (or 3) yr since he did really well for Glasgow at DP. If Leicester go Elite, if it stays the same, both Kauko and Bjerre could be available, sadly Kauko seems past his best, a change of track could suit Bjerre and he'd have a fellow country man in the team if Rene stayed, more expense though. Would Kauko return now he's been nearer to airports? Robson prob ok, Newcastle, I think. Don't think Mellgren would move this far north from Rye House, could be wrong.

 

I'd have Rusty back (and think he will be) and hope his away form could improve a bit, the sooner the points limit is known the better

..........teams ok. apart from kake and charlie boy. ..put a big hitter at 1 and when or if he gets injured, its sheffield all over again.. there is only one guy who could live up to that number 1 role and he does not live too far away.. just remember , what i say goes, not.there is going to be some strange line ups on here before the official line ups are confirmed..

I would be amazed if Cook ended up back at Derwent Park, can't see it. I can see Rene starting the season at number 1 for us

Quite like that team, but don't think Rusty will be in it, from his FaceBook posts he seems to be planning other things. I think Rusty out of that along with Wright, bring in Tero and one other, still love Wells at some point too! I know he wouldn't fit in that side though

You make some very good points here. Leicester are almost certain to be Elite League in whatever form it is

 

Kake is god at Leicester very much like he is at Workington but by his own admission he has had a very poor season , spent 80% of the season with little niggle injuries & suffer mechanically.

 

Kake made it common knowledge that he is seeking a new EL team so hoping that can be Leicester. But he also said he plans to spend as little time as possible on the road & in the country as Mervi his wife is due to have a baby in the next 4 weeks so naturally he wants to be at home in Finland so 6 hours each way from Stanstead every week is not going to be high on his agenda 1 thing is for sure on his average i think he will have plenty of offers.

 

As for Bjerre another rider who moans week in week out about travelling but he is motivated by 1 thing that is money so if you pay him a good screw & provide a Thomas Armstrong van you will be laughing but if i'm honest i can't see him being a Tony Jackson man with lasse outbursts i guess time will tell.

 

 

. If Leicester go Elite, if it stays the same, both Kauko and Bjerre could be available, sadly Kauko seems past his best, a change of track could suit Bjerre and he'd have a fellow country man in the team if Rene stayed, more expense though. Would Kauko return now he's been nearer to airports?

2 leagues seems certain - just a matter of whether the Elite has 1 or 2 or more additional teams.

 

That balance will determine any shift in points limit/team make up.
