Now that Jody hasn't signed for the senior team and I now know that Luke is eligible for the NDL, I'll go for:

1. Luke Killeen 9.87

2. Senna Summers 3.44

3. Ashton Vale 6.17

4. Rhys Naylor 4.13

5. Jason Garrad 8.36

6. 3.03

7. Declan Killeen 3.00

Pure speculation as I don't know why Jody wasn't included in the cheetahs. I'd also love to see a team with both Killeens in.

Jody Scott was part of the Cheetahs plans up until when Scott Nicholls was ruled out. When that happened they had to have a re-think (Knudsen a late signing and Heeps retained - as opposed to Nicholls and Scott). He'll definitely be in the Chargers team.

I'm glad he will be tbh, I have a soft spot for the chargers (not sure why as I don't really have a soft spot for the Spires or Cheetahs). I enjoy watching their reruns on YouTube and they've always got a young and exciting team, jody being one of them. Nice to see them sticking with him.

Does he have a British passport ?

Varies year to year. Hook, Pearson, Congreve and Wood all got NDL rides so depends on what suits / who stamps their feet. 

That said i doubt McDiardmid would be fussed about NDL.  Team is most likely last years finishing side with Luke out and Kai Ward in....

Did not expect that line up. Broadhurst should be a strong signing but the rest looks a bit average. Hard to see many race winners apart from Scott but equally not many last places either. Don't see enough strength to get the necessary away results and mount a challenge to the big 2.

For the people blocked on the Oxford FB page for having an opinion that differs from Schroeck's could you post the team please?

Darryl Ritchings was not on my 2025 team place bingo card. 

6/7 years since he last rode at this level isn't it?

I do remember reading an article in the speedway star about a possible comeback, but seems a while since I read that.

Bit surprised that there's no Jason Garrad or Declan Killeen in the team, but I'm guessing they'll get a team place elsewhere. It will be nice to see Darryl Ritchings back on the bike again, was a solid rider back in the day and can probably pass on a lot of knowledge to some of the younger lads. Who's gonna be team captain? I'd set the team up like this, just until Darryl gets going again, could be a big year for the likes of Jody Scott and Ashton Vale if they really up their game.

1. Jody Scott

2. Jacob Clouting

3. Arran Butcher

4. Darryl Ritchings

5. Ashton Vale

6. Max Broadhurst

7. Senna Summers
