Have a listen to Bears Live TV, that will give you a couple of starters, but the clue is already there.

I have watched them. But was it during the Christmas party line up reveal as sound wasn't great on my device for some of it, so could make out some of what they were saying but not everything.

Personally think trigger is a good signing.

 

He is not going to beat many but there’s more pros than cons.

 

he won’t cost a lot coming from plymouth.

he will understand he’s likely to only have 3 rides but when you only have to drive 10 mins down the road it’ll be fine and he will have a load of 2nd half races as well. 
 

he knows his way around Plymouth and he’ll beat a few of the other two pointers. 
 

hell learn and is willing to learn. 
 

May always was going to go with a 2 pointer historically and this makes a lot more sense than bringing someone from up north down.

If you takes these stats he is really is Top Man,most matches most points,most bonus points.Don’t know all this knocking of him,he has been aTop man in the Championship over a number of years.Just a gater they moan,trouble is he gates most of the time.!!!!!

Lawson has been a fantastic rider in the championship for many years now. Don't get all this talk about number ones, an out and out number one is a rider who leads from the front and wins the big heats and Lawson is one of those.

If Ben Trigger was offered a team spot like any ambitious youngster he would say yes. But as keen & talented as he might be he needs a minimum of one more year in the conference. We should all realise that speedway is a dangerous motorcycle sport & that the risk involved should not be compromised.

Now that Ben has been given a team spot he should get over to Aussie where he can get some meetings & practice, practice, practice I still think Bens is in to early but wish the lad the best of luck for 2023.

Not as easy as that would cost thousands to get out to oz,plus ben has just started an apprenticeship and his mechanic/dad has a full time job. So not going to happen.

Thought Lee worked on railways so hardly full time maybe they could go when he's on strike again

All well and good being 10 mins away but coming last kills confidence it's far to early for him

Yeah how young lads have we lost because their confidence was shattered too early.

It is also an expensive sport not to be earning in and keeping machinery tuned etc can take its toll too.

I think Trigger is promising, but expect him to be out of his depth & looks the weakest 2.00 rider signed so far. However he may at least have the beating of other 2.00 riders at home 

I reckon he will be better than his uncle who was very entertaining and very funny and despite winning a medal and having the same broom for all his career only made it to road sweeper.
