This absolute waste of time and money. 

Ipswich are far better option for him if he rides in England as he can't ride big tracks any longer 

Yep.

Worrall good for 5/6 at a push, Andersen good for 4/5 top whack these days so 9-11 points from your second string riders combined is goodnight vienna almost every week because our HL's would have to outscore riders like Bewley, Doyle etc. to make up the lost points at second string.

I don't believe that both of them are in our side, One of them certainly but not both, At worst Tomalin would've snapped up Batchelor if no rider was available from the EU market rather than going with Andersen & Worrall imo.

Worrall has an upside and should be in, Andersen has no upside on track.

The only role Andersen should be filling at Peterborough is becoming Rob Lyon's assistant and I mean this respectfully.

Hans can walk up and down the pits helping the team out with set ups and giving out his years of advice to the younger riders in the side while learning managerial skills from Rob Lyon with a view to taking over the role from Rob Lyon permanently in the future after Rob steps away from the sport.

Hans could also step in as Team Manager for the night if a situation arises where Rob Lyon can't make a certain fixture.

I was thinking this earlier as well, I get the impression he still thinks he can do it though (riding) and he’s just in a bit of a rut. I think he would be good in a management role

Panthers got a tiger at reserve in Ben Cook. Give him a month to settle and watch him go. Once he has his setups sorted he will be very fast and score a sack load at reserve. Big year for him an his brother at Wolves. But like his brother, just hope he stays safe for his home club.

Hans is based in Denmark with his family isnt he ,  therefore cant see him travelling to the UK just to fulfill a management role 

Club legend but he's in danger of tarnishing it by hanging around too long. 

In all honesty the concussion in the Grand Final at Belle Vue was one injury too many.

Jungle drums have Andersen again a Panther next season. We’ll see. 

I'm still being told Tungate. 

 I just hope my source isn't wrong on this one as it's the difference between challenging for honours and essentially a 6 rider team.
