Morris joins Wolverhampton as expected.

Not by you it wasn't but then nobody believes anything you say anyway.

He has not been for a while, he lives on the edge of Swindon where a few Swindon riders live and keep their equipment.

Yes, I suppose he might have ended his renting there while in Australia for the winter and then a move up to Wolverhampton, will only find out if he turns up to watch Swindon meetings when Wolves are not riding, or I see him at the pub watching any tv meetings.

Weak bottom end again it is then but glad to see Troy show loyalty that was lacking from Nick.

Hope Rosco has better riders than what we ended up with at no 7 last season.

Batch isn't our asset, so hardly showing loyalty, but I couldn't see many other teams offering him a place, hopefully it won't mean a #7 out of his depth again.

Let see how it pans out, there are some riders in the league below on low averages with the conversion. Jordan Stewart for one could kick on next year....would be a 3, pair him with Zach & that would allow 4.97 for the number 2 position.

No it could mean our no 2, 6 & 7 out of their depth.

No way would Poole have let a rider go when it’s obvious his average will go up again next season.

I think Batch could’ve gone to Peterborough or Ipswich even with Buster owning them.

Don't think it's merely about loyalty....despite some taking the rise  on here Troy is an 8 pointer ....it's alright banging on about improvement from here or here he is proven and will get spurred on by Doyley like he was with Darcy ...Rosco must be confident with what he can muster  with his lower end signings

i was thinking similar for Poole the other week but someone corrected me by saying that being a Foreign rider he wold have to be a min of 4 despite his first season Champ av converting to 3.07. Nice thought though as I aired the possibility of having Pickering and or Stewart as reserves :-)

The regs may be different in 2019

Correct, would be a minimum of 4

I hope not but could be, with all the bs we have been fed by the owners of the stadium over many years.

Team announcement tomorrow. No hint that it's a new signing so I'm hoping it's either Adam or Zach (if not both).

Wonder if the usual idiot will tell us who it is ?

[Crazy robin]

I think/hope Rosco has all 7 signed & sealed already.

Shame it seems no room for Palm-Toft who would be a great signing.

If rumours are true the no 2 position could be a problem as 3 riders mentioned are all reserves but one will be at No 2.

The points diff between Morris and Batch has put a spanner in the works.

Still seems bloody daft to let an asset screw up team plans like Rosco has with Nick.

I doubt anyone else would’ve been allowed to call the shots like he has & a long tail again like last season when Rosco vowed it wouldn’t happen again.
