Peterborough Panthers 2022

Both King's Lynn and Peterborough would currently improve by adding Tungate.  He's not everyone's cup of tea but is a solid enough rider at home in particular.

With Palin out for the season will need a new rising star also whether that be at 7 or 8.  There has to be better than Jenkins surely?

Best options are Bowtell, Shanes or Clegg?

I'm sure he has been dropped by both his British teams or left off his own back and riding only in the junior Polish league.

Yeah he has but I shouldn’t think that the junior polish league pays that well but there you go

I also read somewhere he was based over in Poland this season or now but dunno if it's fact or not, if so it's probably better for him to just ride over there then keep flying back and forth over here, and i bet even the Polish junior League pays more then he got here point money wise.

Can't remember which thread it was in but the proposed pay rates were on there..

Considerably more than over here I seem to remember. 

The Poles are using the league to develop young talent of all nations so they have enough riders for the long term to keep their leagues the ones to be in, and therefore keep the massive sponsorships and TV coverage..

No doubt though they will still keep rules to protect Polish places in the septets.. 

Dont sit on their laurels the Poles..

Thinking everything will stay the same forever was a clear failing of the UK in the early 80's by reducing team spaces for British riders, and towards the end of the 90's as the GP's came along and they failed to react to them..

Whether they run these leagues or not the best riders will end up over there imo .....

What a ridiculous sport this is.  

In many ways it is a ridiculous sport, however naming an old style number 8 when using RR isn't. It's something that should happen.

On another note looking at some old photos of Ipswich circa 1990 they had a squad of 11 riders & no doubling up. Speedway the only sport to have spent 30 years in reverse!
