Happy to see the skipper back. Good lad who improved loads last year. Don’t see the same improvement this year but if so fantastic. Will be more than happy if he maintains his starting average which is more realistic.

Away form is a worry.

No out and out number one for Monarchs then.

We are also delighted at this development.

Yip. For a continental rider Paco hasn't looked comfortable at Ashfield.

You can’t go round the white line at Ashfield hence he struggles.

You could if Paco was behind you and still win by half a straight.

He has a cracking moustache though I will give him that.

So I guess that Paco at 5 for you guys,thinking they need a 2pt rider and upto 6.44 to make the team look reasonably competitive then palovarra can score highly at reserve would be the best option atm.

Like a Max James and someone new to the league on a 6.00.

Would like to see Max back

Would be surprised if they went for any 2.00 rider in 2025.  Would not be surprised to see another 5.00 plus Connor Coles to fit under the 8.44 left.   That would allow the 3 x 5.00 pointers to "compete" for the No. 6 jacket and the potential 7 rides if required.  Just a thought.

If it is Coles he needs to upgrade equipment

6.00 and a 2.00 would leave Grahn at reserve pretty much all season.

Certainly would if there was a 6.00 available which is the hard part I guess.

If he did get a spot then more than likely he would be doubling down with the Devils again so an upgrade on last years equipment would certainly be on the cards as it did rob him of quite few points that could have gone his way.

Well that's one for starters.  No idea who he is though.

Scored 10 at Belle Vue for Ukraine in the SoN. Other forum members say he would come in at champ level on a 6 and he was interviewed in speedway star a few weeks ago saying he was looking for a championship club

I’m guessing Edinburgh can nominate who has the lowest average or who they think is the better rider and they start at reserve,think if that option is still available Edinburgh would be mad to put Grahn at reserve imo.

Rather have James who could progress in  a 2nd Season, than Coles who has been around for a long time & never made much progress.
