That's a great signing. I thought BV were mad to let him go.

Good signing, just hope he's not their number one lol!

[heathen52]

Young Tom is a very good signing for the Brummies, be even better if he is still a rising star, well done NT.

Not a RS

[Col]

Brennan wasn't an RS last season so won't be in the coming season.

Wouldn't surprise me to see Charles Wright

I can't imagine that happening, he has in the past refused to ride Perry Barr until every molecule of shale has been scraped off it.

[Col]

Zagar can't surely be signed as a #1, I doubt he'd maintain his average attained in 2022 if the NSS isn't is home track.

As third heater, he wouldn't be a disastrous signing I wouldn't imagine.  At 3 & 4 alongside Brennan I could see them holding their own.

Think I'd rather see Worrall in the team than that whinge bag Wright think the only dingle I would have now would be Flint as Becker Masters and Douglas seem to be heading to Leicester

Not what I’ve heard

[Panthers99]

Leicester running 4 teams or something and to a 45 point average?

Because he flies around BV not the same on away tracks.

Zagar’s average was way higher at the NSS than away.

Too much of a risk particularly if at number one.

I doubt he is even a 7 point rider anymore given he average was topped up half the matches at NSS.

For the Brummies to succeed they need an attractive team to encourage Wolves/Cradley fans to come across regular.

Let’s face it they are banking on a few hundred Wolves fans coming every week to make this work.

Sadly the track and viewing will put a lot off.

I would not worry about the track Steve there will be lots of work done over the winter to get it spot on. And hopefully good racing. 

[HGould]

Brennan is a fair start but he'd need to be 5th highest average so he can alternate between second string and reserve as that's his level in PL.

If he could end with a 6 point average that would be significant progress.

I'd love to see Leon back at PB where he was sensational in 2018 as a 15 year old but fear he'll be picked up elsewhere.

Think we can either blow silly money on "has been" name at top of riding order or more snesibly pack top 4 with more workmanlike names?

A more sensible marquee signing for me would be a Mickellson / Lahti or Kvech type .

Significant progress on the 6.02 finishing average from this season?

[ProudtobeaBrummie]

So what average does Tom Brennan come in on with any reductions ?

Dont think there's much to chose between Worral/Wright ? (I hear/echo your noise about Wright being a whinge bag....but he's still a decent rider on his day) 

Apart from Douglas....the other Wolf I'd be happy to see is Z.Cook!

P.S Brennan is a fabulous signing.....but who is making the decision to sign him ?
