I'd personally pick: Borke, Proctor, MacDonald, Roynon or Nielsen before Clegg. All of those would be poor signings compared to what you could have at reserve.

Borke would be a good signing at reserve? But from the rumours on here he's going to Berwick anyway. Clegg and Roynon wouldn't be that bad either. Not so sure on Nielsen, MacDonald or Proctor though... Especially the latter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTT Posted December 24, 2023 Report Share Posted December 24, 2023 By the process of elimination I think Vissing, Rowe and Gilkes are the final three and they fit perfectly. Borke & Hodder -> Berwick Sedgmen/Riss + Castagna & Fredriksen -> Edinburgh (Rumours Riss isn't doing the Championship so likely Sedgmen) MPT & Mountain -> Scunthorpe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Workington Craig Cook 8.52 Claus Vissing 6.24 Anders Rowe 5.80 Annti Vuolas 5.00 Tate Zischke 5.00 Dan Gilkes 4.84 Sam McGurk 2.00 Total 37.40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neila Posted December 24, 2023 Report Share Posted December 24, 2023 That's a solided looking side, yep no 3rd heat leader as such but the league is watered down so some of these guys could score 5-8 points no bother, look what happened in 2018 when no one predicted the comets to finish where they did !!!

H20 Posted December 24, 2023 Report Share Posted December 24, 2023 Can not understand anyone wating Vissing yeah great guy but is he going to improve now ? No move on like they have with the last two riders signed who have loads of potential. And as for anyone mentioning Roynon have you seen him ride the last couple of years ? Obviously not.

Not a Vissing fan but whilst he may not improve he is still a 7pt+ man.Wouldnt be the worst signing. IMO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year Vissing averaged 8.00 at home & 6.19 away, so on a 6.24 rolling average that's fantastic value & I'd certainly expect him to improve that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
