Sorry, but I cant get into the mind set that the promotion would sign a team at the start of the season knowing they would need to make changes when the averages sorted themselves out. Signing Jorgensen on a falsely high average was the mistake.

Isn't that what Peter Waite did way back when with ryml, franc and makovsky?

Berwick basically signed a 7.5 rider on a 9.5 average. The only way to excuse that would be, 1) there were no 9.5 riders available to lead the team or 2) there were no 7.5 riders available leaving more room at the bottom end?

Gary Flint had TJ lined up early doors, whilst trying to tie down Bomber to join him, before hearing about Rory and preferring that option, so he says. This is what we’re dealing with, he genuinely wanted TJ and reiterated his average wasn’t false and he’s a different rider now. He talked about it on a podcast.

As scunny found trying to replace Kennedy there aren't any 4 pointers around and I don't see signing proctor as a positive change since he became available. 

Is there a possibility replacing etheridge for a HL? Although only really Ellis and batch I can think of not signed to champ

While Proctor hasn't been great, I still think he's better than a 2.00 rider.

That seems the best option to me, hopefully the promotion are proactive

Not a chance.Team wasn't built to change according to a certain F F .

Well looking at GSAs your team average is over 2 points down, so you definitely got room for changes! 

4.23 to play with if Nathan is long term injury

So Jacob Hook? Not sure if he is good at Berwick? Starke is too high. You need to get replacement as you are losing 2 points every time you get a 2 pointer guest in for Nathan, unless they ride double their average.

Was going to say Captain Hook but he will end up at the Pirates :D:D
