Hagon 4.73 so goes to reserve by his 2.5% reduction,why don’t clubs put averages in press releases massive bug bear of myn 

Because, within moments of the press release, several on here would have shown the average calculation used to be wrong...?

Be good to see kildemand in the champ again, exciting rider to watch. Credit the Berwick promotion, could've easily settled for a middling team with whose left but went out and got what should be a very good replacement. I'll say nothing of dayle wood 

I am shocked Dayle Wood still gets employment!

Totally agree, credit to Edinburgh for actually announcing Palovaara was on a different average to the one he finished with.

Wood could surprise a few he was a lot faster and controlled last season, finished the season with a higher NDL average than the likes of Harrison, Pijper, Hodder, Spencer and Perry.

Also scored 3+1 beating both Mulford and Trigger when guesting for Edinburgh at Redcar. 
 

Tike will tell if he can do it consistently at Championship level but I’d say he’s on a par with most of the two pointers signed so far. 

Would go along with that.  Discount him at your peril as he had and still is improving with more track time in 2024. 2025 could well see someone get the benefit.

Dayle wood was way ahead of the rest at workington in meeting I watched this year 

He looked good enough to replace a few reserves from 2024

Kildeman at Berwick

Looked fine when I saw him at Redcar.

I wouldn’t be disappointed with that side, if I was a Berwick fan.

Cook’s a great signing. He seemed to have screwed the nut last season, so with a settled season under his belt and a healthy pre-season, we see any any Craig Cook next season; including the best version.

I think Hagon could be a very good signing. He scored well guesting at Shielfield against us in June. I also think Borke has a lot of potential.

Some people fail to understand that riders can actually go away and improve. They see Dayle ride once in his first season over here, see him struggling and immediately write him off forever as if he's never going to come to anything. I hope he flies next season just to prove all of these people wrong.

[Fromafar]

Settle for that Bandits team.Well done for pulling of Kildeman and Hagon signings.Wood as the 2 pointer was as good as any available wish him well.

That's because you don't need any motorbike skills to ride Worky 🪖

Top scorer at Armadale in the NDL last year, need bike skill to get round there.

So good Edinburgh elected not to have him in their team.

You said doesn’t take bike skill to get round worky, which to get round Armadale you need which you think dayle doesn’t have clearly. Yet averaged more than Coles, Perry and McGurk last year.

Why?    Let's see......

He started speedway in Oz in 2022.     Admittedly a late beginner, but that's when it was.

In 2023 he came to the UK, a very raw rookie, raced NJL for Edinburgh and averaged 4.50.  

In 2024 he continued at Armadale, improving his average to 7.76. That's a big jump!

With bonus points, this is a better CMA than Ace Pijper, Max Perry, Luke Harrison, Freddy Hodder or the much-vaunted Vinnie Foord.    All of whom have been racing speedway bikes for a lot longer than Dayle Wood.

Were he younger, people would be praising his progress, signalling him as one of the best 2-pointers available to Championship clubs.

And maybe, with Berwick, he will be.........

You are wasting your time replying to him Blobby.

NDL indeed and outscored all the Lion Cubs by some margin in September if memory serves me.

[Noelinho]

I didn't realise Dayle Wood was such a late starter, so fair play in that case - probably is worth a punt.
