Didn’t see that coming, good signing that So if the rumours are correct that Newman is in the team then what does that leave for the number 1?

Assuming figures on confirmed signings thread is correct and with Hook being a 4 and Newman 5.51. There would be 10.75 left! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted December 13, 2023 Report Share Posted December 13, 2023 I bet it's Wilson-Dean at No.1 on a 8.21 if Kyle Newman is in. Only two clubs that would offer him a deal would be ones who are desperate for a rider on a big GSA like Workington and Plymouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think he is worth a punt on that average as not many riders available . If he struggles could replace later in the season. Coming in .2 under 38 would be good use of pts available Edited December 13, 2023 by lewy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted December 13, 2023 Report Share Posted December 13, 2023 The official Plymouth announcement about Hook says 'he's the first of 2 new signings filling the reserve berths'! That means both Thompsons are in the 1-5, doesn't it? Unless its worded wrongly?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben91 Posted December 13, 2023 Report Share Posted December 13, 2023 (edited) They don’t give out prizes based on who uses the most of the team building limit at the start of the season. Wilson-Dean is pony. Anyone who signs him on that average would just be writing off their season before a wheel is turned.

I think most teams are kind of out there in a certain way but even compare it to Redcars completed team or the five confirmed by Poole so far and I think it looks poor in comparison.

I think it’s worded wrongly because if Hook is at reserve how can Thompson be in the main body when he has a lower average than Hook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hook is on a 4 so if he's at reserve it's got to be with Thompson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
