Scored more point in the regular season than any other rider. Scored more maximum than anyone else in the regular season. I would say that's the performance of an out and out Numbet 1.

went missing in the grand final tho !!! when needed !!

Averaged just over 7 when he rode for us in 2017. Don’t know what he’s done since but suspect his average may be on the slide. Looking at the averages for that season, someone called Bewley averaged less than 5 for Belle Vue. Think I’d take him on that average, bit of a risk though 🤨

? Ellis Perks or Zaine Kennedy.

I wonder if Perks is still doing speedway?

The only rider I can think of, who could fit that description and have a suitable average is Lasse Bjerre. But he might have retired by now and maybe too much of a maverick for Mr Dickson's liking. There's also his elder brother but he'd probably have too high an average.

The Pieman? Ludo Lindgren? Butchkowski?

Last rode in 2019 (bar the odd one-off in minor meetings)

Thought Masters was at Oxford,wasn’t there rumours that Wozniak could have been heading to Leicester.

Was a small rumour in regards to Oxford but I think that's all it was as it's all gone quiet on that front with everything pointing towards the one change after Stewart's comments in Leicester's Lawson PR.

Just reading that I would guess that you are right not much change straight swap Howarth for Lawson and Craig Cook stays at reserve I’d assume,think Leicester team looks not very good when comparing it to others atm don’t think it’s a Play off team,Ipswich and kings Lynn look much better alongside Sheffield and Belle Vue id imagine would be there aswell as with the rumoured line ups there near on certainties to get to the play offs.

It's a decent side but like you said when you compare it to other teams rumoured 1-7's then it doesn't look that good.

Lawson scored 8 or more points (Excluding Bonus Points) in 9 out of 15 Home meetings for Leicester this season so Howarth has got big shoes to fill.

Still no real solid backup for Fricke as well which is a worry, The Lions need the real Luke Becker to turn up next season.

Pretty well summed up tbh can’t see much changing next season tbh all the other riders in that team are not going to get any better than what they are atm,think they will be battling with Oxford for 5th.
