Has Dougy committed to  Poland yet and been offered a team spot ? If not ,then team plans would change drastically I guess.

Oh Dear, how did Paul Starke suddenly appear in Scunny’s plans, well passed his best

That's how he'd be available at reserve, if he wasn't "well past his best" that team would be over the limit.

I don't know if he's in Scunny's plans, just picking teams with unannounced riders.

I think Paul Starke is worth a go on a 4.00 average. He had bad season last year but his average is based on him riding in the main body on a track he didn't seem to get on with. Every year previously he has been a dependable 5 or 6 point second string, is he really in decline at 33 years of age?

I think Scunny might be going a bit top heavy this year.........

S.worral 7.84

k.Howarth 7.76

J.Allen 7.16

S.Lambet 5.87

Z. Kennedy 4.27

N.Ablett 2.93

L.Harrison 2.00

total 37.83

To be fair thats where I am with it. That way we have made as good a stab at covering the loss of Ryan wth two No1s. With Jake there its a powerful top three, but Lambo in 2023 form makes it a top four !. It is going to be the "top heavy" teams that gain in the Chanpionship this year. Zaine is a steal returning on a 4.27 average btw. While Nathan can push on from 2023's great efforts at reserve. Luke Harrisons the 2p RS  but no pressure on him he can develop in a team like this. I commend this 1-7 to the Management.

It might have seemed a long shot a year ago but Josh Pickering would be on my hit list !. I believe he did say he was stepping away from Edinburgh and the Championship. Like Ryan he wanted to push on in the Euro Leagues  But subsequently I read he could well be back in the Championship. He would be my "pick" to replace Ryan. Absolute "box office" racer around the EWR.
