Peterborough Panthers 2023

Much more like it and it fixes a lot of problems.

1. Tarasenko 7.00 Assessment?

2. R. Worrall (Finally reverts back to his comfort zone and his level at No.2 rather than riding out of position at No.3 or 4.)

3. NKI (Should be better in the engine room away from Ht 13)

4. Basso (Pressure finally eased of his young shoulders by reverting back to a second string role)

5. Tungate (Proper HL around Peterborough who'll win races for fun)

6. B. Cook (Stays at reserve for a bit longer)

7. JJ (Best RS in the league)

Interesting comments on the Lynn post saying they'll be happy with their signing who was initially ear marked for Peterborough. 

I really hope we haven't been screwed over here. 

Could we see Klindt at Panthers now?

If productive changes are coming then great but I can't help thinking it's abit late... surely there is too much ground to make up now to even make the play offs?..and I thought the world had been scoured and no riders were available... suddenly Lynn are signing Laguta...you couldn't make it up!

Don't forget Laguta is coming to Leicester :rofl:

Just for interest, Which option are you taking up? Take the overall picture into consideration though rather than selecting a particular option due to a big name rider, Laguta would come at a cost and I don't just mean a financial cost.

 

Option A - Laguta at No.1, Ben Cook having to ride in the 1-5 and a struggling Hans Andersen at reserve (Laguta massive name but you're also throwing Ben Cook in at the deep end that could easily go south like asking Basso to ride as a HL, Also sacrificing a stronger No.6 who can take up to 7 rides a night for a struggling Hans Andersen who's best days are long gone)

Option B - Taranseko and Tungate in the 1-5 with Ben Cook remaining at reserve (Two engine room riders although the former will probably be at No.1 but the latter puts up Double figures regularly around Peterborough, B. Cook remains at reserve by taking up to 7 rides a night as well which means less rides for an underperforming rider like Worrall or NKI if they don't find form)

 

For me, Option B looks the better fit considering the problems we've got with other riders in our team.

If it was option B, who would go to reserve when Cook goes into the top 5 when the next set of averages come out ?

Option A as unless my maths is wrong the below changes fit with points to spare. 

Pedersen, Andersen, Worrall 

Laguta, Tarasenko and Tungate

I've heard for week now that teams are happy with their signings, happy with who's coming in etc etc... BUT WHERE THE HELL IS THE NEWS!! It seems to be never coming, are yous all going to announce it in September? Ready for the late October/early November playoffs

Wouldn't fit if Tarasenko is on the usual 7.00 for Ekstraliga riders but who knows what the rules are anymore considering how much they change.

Wouldn't happen regardless though imo because Buster and Dale wouldn't leave one of their clubs completely empty handed considering both of KL and P'boro need major surgery due to various underperformers in both 1-7's, Unlike other clubs we'd have to share the new signings around unfortunately.

Maybe not but I'd actually be prepared to gamble on a king's Lynn cast off in the main body like Klindt if he was on a 5

I'd take a chance on Klindt too for what it's worth.

Only member of KL's 1-5 I wouldn't take a gamble on is Jorgensen as I think he's a carbon copy of Hans Andersen currently when you get TJ on a track that's not called the AFA.

Tarasenko coming in on a 5 assessed average I think
