Anyone know who Scrabbleman belongs to?

 

I see he has signed for Swindon - Thursdays.

 

So that's a lot of PL matches he would miss if PL doesn't have priority.

 

Unfortunately Poole - so if he is in the team then lets hope there is less fixture clashes than when Nick Morris was at Swindon in his final season for us.

also , if he has a polish team , signed but not riding with them on a regular bases . he can be called up through his parent club (poole) to ride in meetings at any time, as he was when he was at workington .

 

He has never missed a Somerset match to ride in Poland.

Yes, it could occur to me that "the Somerset squad COULD have been signed up months ago....". But I find that occurence highly unlikely, don't you ? If you had read the press release, Ms Hancock declared that some if not all the team members would be named at the "Team Announcement Evening" suggesting that the team may or may not be complete. It's known as a smoke screen to cover for shortcomings on that front !!!

If I was a Rebels fan I would be happy with teams tracked in the last few years.

Exactly, we have had some amazing teams in the past seasons. We always set up an announcement night but the riders are picked before.

 

On the other matter i can see one of Grajczonek and Wright missing out now, it wouldn't be wise to have both in the team.

Rumours are, Joshy G, Tungate, Wright are nailed on, Jake Allen and BWD are high targets so no room for starkey as im aware

Allen will be a 7 since he is an Aussie, that's why Berwick dropped him this season

No he wont he will be a 5,the rules have changed

where has this been confirmed Lewy?

It would also mean that someone like Proctor or Poole didnt need a top 4 finish after all as they are above 5 already. Likewise Manzares.

I believe any new riders to pl come in on a 5 ave providing they have a top four finish in a state championship if they already have a pl ave i,e proctor over 5 they start on existing ave but I am 99% certain jake will be a 5 wheres nujjer hes the expert on the criteria for visas:-o

Charles Wright is our asset, so we would get priority if there was a clash of dates anyway.

Assuming Jake Allen is on a 5 pt av and gets a visa I can see it being something like this :

 

1 Josh

2 Starkey

3 Charles

4 Jake Allen

5 Tungate

6 BWD

7 Zach

I think this is pretty much on the money to be honest - although it'll be surprising not to see Kyle Howarth in the side.
