Welcome back Kye. Needs to really kick on next year though - shows glimpses but could make himself a really solid championship heat-leader with a bit more consistency.  

Needs to seriously sort out his away form, was unacceptable last season. Should be fine as a number 3 in a weaker league

Big year I feel for kye. Feel he could be the difference between having a season like last year which was utter rubbish to a side that will be competing in the play offs. 
 

really needs to find some consistency this year and step up into the heat leader role was on the end of too many 5-1s last year which cost us many meetings.

Sedgmen will be the Monarchs new No.1 for 2024

 

If that's true, how about? Would have the best reserve in the league imo

Edinburgh  
Justin Sedgmen 7.69
Erik Riss 7.35
Kye Thompson 6.48
Paco Castagna 5.30
Lasse Fredriksen 4.57
Jack Thomas 4.51
Max James 2.00
Total 37.90

Would be happy with Riss but don’t think he will be in UK next season. Would rather we went with Bastian and a new 5.00 than Lasse and Thomas. Makes no sense to bring Bastian over this season then not use him next season.

He's signed for Berwick (allegedly)

Totally agree with that, but just going by rumors of him racing at Berwick. In a weaker league think Thomas would put lots on his average (assuming he's recovered from his injuries) meaning Lasse could end up at reserve.

Not sure why many feel Kye had such a disappointing season last year, he went from 6.60 to 6.48, so hardly a disaster. Riders all wait to improve but not everyone will do it every season.

Kye has a higher average than Zach Cook, but I've not read a single comment from Poole fans saying "he needs to step up this year". Perhaps Kye's problem was he was too impressive in his first couple of years, has he been a 4.00 then a 5.00 like Zach he'd have got more credit last year?

Josh Pickering actually lost more off his average than Kye (8.92-8.63) but I don't read many people subjecting Picko to the same "he should do better" comments like Kye gets?

Heat 13: Edinburgh 1 - 5 Glasgow -- Harris 3 Worrall 2* Riss 1 Sedgman 0

Heat 15 Edinburgh 1 - 5 Glasgow -- Worral 3 Harris 2* Sedgman 1 Riss 0

That's the reality if Sedgman and Riss are the two heat leaders next season.

Kye as a 3rd heat leader averaged less than 5 away from home which is awful. Josh also poor for what was supposed to be a number 1.
