Plymouth ?

Danny King 8.05

Richie Worrall 7.97

Ben Barker 7.80

Ben Morley 4.94

Dan Gilkes 4.55

Alfie Bowtell 4.28

Connor Coles 2.00

Total 39.59

Morley on that average in the main body would be a poor signing. Starke a much better option if it fitted. 

With the averages now finalised I'd say Worrall, Barker, Gilkes and Bowtell are no-brainers for Plymouth.

Starke would fit instead of Morley

Going to be interesting to see what clubs do with the lower points limit. I think a lot of teams will be considerably 'weaker' than last season. We'll see though, fully expect a lot of signings to be announced in the next couple of weeks.

Actually makes you wonder why they didn't just go to 6 man teams or 8 man teams with two reserves with no averages.

Give the reserves 4 heats against the opposition reserves with a start from each gate position.

Can't have 2 heat leaders -loose cannon barker and essentially 3 reserves / second strings then Cole's at the bottom. Get completely murdered away. Number 1 priority is paying what it takes to get gilkes and go from there

Think you're right about Barker when it comes to no-brain! :D

Sadly the gulf in ability of the 18 x 2.00 reserves would be massive (see fast track system of a few years ago). Couple of riders would succeed, several would get an average and then miss out the following year whilst ironically those who stayed on a 2.00 could have another chance with even lower rated riders. If the NDL had disappeared then that format of 8 man teams could be an option but otherwise it would be no more than a one season wonder/blunder.

They were going to do a TV series  CSI Cornwall until they realised DNA samples would be impossible to work with.

Can we have a few Gladiator names please Mark & Gazza! 

With one less team in the league it "should" make team building a little easier for 2023.

I'm extremely disappointed the BSPL ditched their 2 home 2 away premier league for 2023, something I think they will regret.
