Wolves 2023

I wonder if it might be time for a bit if a reboot. 

More riders may see Wolves as an option over Sweden as things decline there and Morris may be past his sell by date. 

Might be worth looking at the better Danes coming through the ranks as wolves historically tapped that market well. 

Kemp has been a massive disappointment in PL and CL and will need to be careful he isn't the new Bickley, back to NDL as main league. 

Flint is worth progressing with. 

I wonder if they have rising star scheme again they might be able to entice Gilkes or Edwards. Certainly not any worse than Kemp.

Do me a favour. He has been fine in CL. His average has gone up nearly 2 points. He has pushed both Cook's down to reserve at different times this season and hasn't gone back there himself. Not sure what you were expecting tbh! 

Anyway back to Wolves...

Kemp's best chance of a PL place next season might be back to Ipswich as an average fits reserve to help compensate Doyle's high average 

If RS continues is his only hope, on merit, a few others have now gone past him in the pecking order.

Would prefer to see Thorssell back in team instead of Morris.

And Fast Freddie has always said he'd come back to Monmore before he retires. Not sure what average he would return on though.

Oh you mean, you talk s*** about Poole riders on every other teams thread and I have to go round correcting you! 

Good to know it is just you trolling and not that you actually think Kemp is just a NL rider. 

I think Kemp will end up as a moderate current CL level second string at best. 

Can't see any progress, think he's hit a ceiling. 

Most of his problems are in his head. 

Nothing to do with Poole. Indeed if he can't progress there where can he?

Doubt he would now with his health problems (Long covid issues)

Are we show-casing any new Euro prospects / new team members for 2023 in the prestigious staging of the Olympique tonight? 

Or is it Chris Harris and Scotty Nicholls for a change? :blink:

1. Sam Masters

2. Josh Pickering

3. Ryan Douglas

4. Jacob Thorsell

5. Luke Becker

6. 4.11 Left assuming 39 point limit remains

7. Leon Flint

I'd shake things up a little bit, bring in a new face with Josh (hugely entertaining rider and best mates with Sam and Ryan, also team mates with both in Poland and with Sam in Edinburgh so they'd have good chemistry in pits etc)

Bring back Jacob, he's the type of rider British speedway desperately needs to get back, brilliant rider in this country, and lets be realistic we ain't getting world champ level riders over here so Jacob would be one of the better riders imo

Stevie seems to have done a good enough job as a second string but someone needs to give average wise and Drew seems to have fallen out of favour at Wolves from what I can tell? I'm guessing Nick will probably be back but who knows, he might end up at Leicester?

Not sure who the 4.00er could be? Perhaps a new Aussie, either not in this country yet or from the CL, or maybe even a Dane like Seifert-Salk?

Douglas can't ride Monmore and can't see him being back - think he will be seeking pastures new of his own accord.

Thorssell has been rubbish on the continent so wouldn't entertain having him back as he seems to be past his best.

Looks like looking at a couple of Aussies with Ben Cook and Jacob Hook there tonight. Be interesting to see how Ben does. I will be looking in on updates to see how the Poole boys are getting on.

Well it looks like Wolves are taking a look at the Italian Champion Paco Castagna tonight

Castagna is a reasonable second strong in the Championship but he's never going to be any more than that!

Thorsell be on 8.5ish average and his scores in Elitserien haven't been good.

Wolves could use a few changes, freshen things up a to bit. Is Tai Woffinden going to be back in the UK next season?

Unlikely.  Woffinden said he'd only sign for Belle Vue if he only had to ride home matches.  Signed for Vastervik in Sweden and will be in Ekstraliga, along with GP's that will be enough for him you'd think.

Would Morris prefer to stay at Leicester?
