Would be quite surprised if Kyle and Kasper were not at Sheffield next season.

I would like to see Dimi Berge back too.  I would also Like to see Josh Auty return to the club but I am not sure what the chances of that actually happening are.

Hands off Josh, he's Scunny through and through!  Can't have him!

As Josh was granted a testimonial at the AGM, I would hope he is a Scorpion next year after his improved form this year with his testimonial being the curtain raiser in 2019.

Very chuffed with the signing of Zaine Kennedy, looked sharp and entertaining in the Top Gun meeting. Good team around him and i feel he could score points for us next season. Anyone know what average Zaine will be arriving on, 5.00 ?

Broc Nichol, Jordan Stewart and Gino Manzares appear to have a minimum average of 4.00, so I imagine that Zaine Kennedy would be the same.

Read on Facebook that Zaine has an English grandparent which could possibly reduce his starting average.

Damien says Zaine will be on a 5.20 average in this article from a couple of weeks back,note he says 'current level',

https://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/speedway/sheffield-tigers/speedway-highly-rated-zaine-kennedy-zooms-in-to-join-sheffield-tigers-1-9317720

4.00 is whats given to a non Brit rider if their average drops below 4 during the season ie Broc started on 5.20,his actual average is 3.37 so thats rounded up to 4.00.

Kasper on 5.20 is a must,currently returning 6.20 and as he won't do 4h/4a this year for us,his average won't change till next season.

And Josh will get a reduction for missing this season through injury.

Kurtz definately is improving as a rider and no longer relies on a reserve berth, I remember my old man saying years ago he would be a Matt Wethers type of rider and he was right.

no reason he cant progress to a third heatleader berth over the next season or two.

Just wondering... we had gold on the race suits this year given we were the champions, do you think we will have wood grain next year given we've got the wooden spoon?

Personally I would like to see the return of the SJP yellow and blue racejackets, the riders looked good in these. But only the style of racejacket up until the 2006 season, beyond that season the racejackets seemed to get chunkier, and although they may look similar the ones after 2006 were actually just over 1cm wider on the shoulder.

Why i know this is even beyond me, but bring back the SJP racejackets.

I agree. Keep Todd and he'll improve.

Bringing back Josh Bates would be a big mistake IMO. He should be asked to prove his race fitness before he's included in the team - maybe a spell in the NL. By March 2019 he won't have sat on a bike for 18 months; with that length of inactivity (and a bad back) who knows if he can still hack it? I'd say let some other team take the risk. Including him in the 2018 team was the factor that started the rot this year. We don't want to make the same mistake twice (but uncle Damian might feel differently!)
