If Holder does get confirmed then I'll work on the basis of Hans Andersen being the team manager rather than a rider.

It's just a really tough sell for me to believe the proposed 1-7 on this thread.

Tomalin is a very successful businessman who's putting extra finances into the club so I don't believe that he would make a twit out of himself in public before he's even started his new job by heaping praise and talking about winning a league title with an uncompetitive team that's 2 something under the limit.

I'm working on the basis that either NKI or Holder is out because the proposed 1-7 on here doesn't hold any logic and it doesn't tie in with Tomalin's comments all winter, Tomalin is still talking about challenging for the title now so I don't think he'd embarrass himself like that before he's even got his feet under the table in his new role if the team wasn't competitive.

Out of the two I'm more confident on NKI being in for two reasons.

1. Due to the Buster factor (NKI has always been Busters go to guy) and (Buster and Chris have previous issues to iron out)

2. Flappy said Chris Holder signed ages ago with three other locks for 2023, Those other three have all been announced but Chris hasn't (Is that just a coincidence)

Like I said the other day. Maybe tomlin genuinely thinks that the 1-7 I’ve mentioned is a title winning side. If he’s got that in his head then Of course he’s going to say we are a winning team etc, as of yesterday holder is riding for pboro, a rider I know has spoken to him on the phone and he’s riding for pboro .

Where’s holder.? He’s definitely racing for pboro 

As of last wk Holder still hadn't signed a contract, he may of agreed a deal in principle ages ago but until he signs on the dotted line he ain't a Panther, haps he waited on who's gonna be running the show and paying his wages b4 he commits to anything official, who knows.

Only an idiot would think that though, The proposed team is a complete mess, Engine room is a disaster.

 

2. Hans who's way past it and cant ride big tracks anymore, GSA likely to drop again.

3. Basso riding out of position as a HL with extra pressure on his young shoulders who's only going to be starting his second season in the Prem.

4. R. Worrall also riding out of position who's GSA will drop, 5+2 or 6+1 is his limit.

I agree with you mate. But tomlin is paying the bills and I guess if he thinks that’s a good team who are we to tell him otherwise. He really rates Andersen and it was him and buster who got worrall in, rob Lyon didn’t want him but tomlin insisted

Not a question of box office rather  can he still  do the business, did not set the world alight last time.

But you are talking about a stronger league twelve years ago. I'd say a better barometer would be his Polish Extraliga averages from the last couple of seasons.

All in the past, he has had a career  threatening injury since then

i think he's on a mission this year to prove people wrong, and he's keen on getting in the Denmark team for Wroclaw
