Unfortunately there is a problem not of Jedd's making to anyone who signs him. He comes with a 4.00 assessed average. After his first 4 home and away if he's averaging (for example) 2.75 then he will still be assessed as a 4.00 pointer as that is, and always will be, his minimum average for team building purposes. That'll mean he stands a good chance of being stuck in a team's top 5 even though his actual average would put him at reserve. Unfortunately I can't see him averaging anywhere near 4 this year.

For example Eastbourne's number 5 is averaging 2.54 ( and they are over the limit) and a lot of people are expecting them to reach the play-offs at least.

Putting Jedd at reserve Maybe, but then we would probably have two reserves averaging around 2.00, taking up 6.00 of the team strength.

If you do have a 4pt rider only scoring 2, kick him into touch,,, usually things are won by riders increasing their averages, not decreasing them.

Dandelion Posted May 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 I think Jedd would do better than that once he's given an opportunity to settle and at reserve... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aceslider Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 Kyle Newman released by Birmingham according to BSPA website. Wonder if he would a fit in Diamonds team as replacement for Simon Lambert who is clearly struggling round the Brough circuit. Newman was always a 120% trier and seemed to enjoy the smaller tracks. Would love to see him back in Diamonds colours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Tobias Thomsen? We seem to have a knack of getting the best out of Danes... He'd be at number 2 too... He seemed ok for Birmingham like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomsen has 10 pints from 6 meetings averaging 1.6 a meeting not sure why you would bring him in to be honest. Newman was more unfortunate scoring 30 from 6 meetings averaging 5.00 per meeting .

Excuse me... I thought Thomsen was on a 4.00 average... The rules for Danes must have changed since the days of Grondal and such has it? Does that mean Grondal would be a 4.00er (His last average) or 5.20? A young Dane (Or Aussie) would be worth the risk in the team imo... They'd soon go to reserve and you never know... Not many people had heard of Kenni or Rene in 2009, To bring either Newman or Thomsen in would require dropping one of the top 4 or replace Clegg with a 2.00er... Both of which would be stupid imo 10 hours ago, crescent girl said: Back to Jedd List, or just do nothing?

Other countries’ structures will have the same distinctions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
