No they would not.  

If as rumoured S Worrall has been signed in place of Schlein that takes your team total to 40.56 so you would have to change one of last years team for a rider on a 1.56 lower average

Nicol presumably.  What would that leave for a 7th rider if Worrall does replace Rory?

I completely understand you have Wolves running through your body. They have managed to continue because the VS are/were very business orientated and the model they run depends on top class foreign spectacular riders drawing in healthy crowds. Unfortunately other tracks aren't run so business like and depend on lower attendances bringing in foreign riders has broken some of these tracks. We need other tracks to sustain the league on an affordable basis which means more local talent. Wolves can't race themselves and are victims of their own success. I remember Dan McCormick at Cradley Heath and Birmingham he had 7 riders capable of being No1 at any track end result they destroyed all opposition and started the decline of British Speedway.

So you are saying Wolves are run on a business like basis, but are blaming the Wolves management for the demise of British Speedway because other tracks aren't run as a business?  It seems to me that you do not have a clue what your own point is. By the way I think all of our riders last year were UK based i.e. no Swedes etc.

With a top 5 of Masters ,Morris, Douglas, Becker and Worrall that leaves you with 3.67 for your number 6 plus your rising star.

Wow a severe handbagging that's fine lads !! I said that Wolves are deploying a model of speedway that's perhaps unsustainable for the future. I really don't know perhaps you and you mates could tell me what can be done to stop tracks closing. Arguing about reserves is the last thing on my mind.

Nick Morris has gone backwards. Why would you keep him over Nicol?

Nicole has potential to improve.

According to Peter Adams in the Wolves programme all of Wolves top 6 (excluding RS) increased their starting average.

Nick alone went from 5.38 to 7.12.

Which would a strange definition of going backwards. However, speedway sometimes works in a counter intuitive way because everything relates back to averages i.e. there is "no value or no more improvement in his average". That was a 32% increase in his average but somehow I felt disappointed with his performances. The year that Swndon won the league with Doyle and Morris in the team, I think they were 1 and 2 in the national averages. Was that a fluke never to be repeated ?
