Yep, as long as the team has 2 current or previous NL riders anywhere in the team.

Any one can be anywhere in the team as long as we have to riders that are eligible of have been in the NL. We have Rose and Lambert that covers that criteria. It's only the Championship that has to have an NL No7.

The amended rule is out, the new limit after the first set of average is 42 Don't panic Stars fans, we've got Holder from Poole and it seems he's brought rule manipulation with him Team Composition 18.7.3 For the SGB Premiership ONLY, it must not exceed 42.00 points in any declaration following the issue of established CMA for 2017, except where the MA of the introduced rider is equal to, or lower than the rider being replaced. Any re-declaration must include 2 riders who have competed or are eligible to enter the National Development League (Conference League).

Questions over the Somerset management Why wasn't Graversen given heat 14 over Allen? Could of 5-1'd that heat, then a 5-1 in 15 would have seen a home win

You may well be right. The club may already know what the new team building averages will be and we could be well under that. It was suggested that the it could be revised to about 42. Currently we're at 37.91. If that remains we could replace Bailey with a 6.09 rider We have to stop Kerr completing 4 home 4 away with Poole then we can fit him in on the 5.98 for Bailey How we would look then is: 1. Lambert 7.83 2. Rose 5.40 3. Kerr 5.98 4. Holder 5.41 5. Batchelor 7.67 6. Huckenbeck 4.84 7. Porsing 4.76 41.89

Clearly you have a different opinion of "in the mix" than I do

Whilst true and I agree, the club can't just sit on it's hands and allow the new averages to kick in. We'd be well and truly stuffed then. Also to take into consideration, come the end of May we'd of completed 9 fixtures. That would mean only 19 fixtures remain & we're already 5 points off a top 4 spot. Time runs out very quickly in this sport

Ok, so how does it work then. Palm Toft has a new average in the Championship so how does he gain a team place in the Premiership? Because it's a new average should it be converted to go into a higher league? Should he be able to sign for a Premiership team on his original average? Does he have to wait until the Premiership has new averages? Who the hell knows!?!?!?

Is it? We would redeclare to 50 points and his starting average on the BSPA site shows as 6.98

Iversen is a massive miss I agree but are you seriously suggesting that the club sits on it's hands and allow Holder to achieve an absolute p!$$ poor average? Holder has to be moved on and unfortunately that includes Bailey too. Regardless of personal reasons or feelings, if he's not delivering on track it has to be Bye Bye. Here's my reshuffle 1. Robert Lambert 8.70 2. Michael Palm Toft 6.98 3. Troy Batchelor 7.36 4. Nickolas Porsing 6.99 5. Richie Worrall 8.49 6. Lewis Rose 5.97 7. Kai Huckenbeck 5.14

Current averages (bonus points) including yesterday's meeting Robert Lambert 7.83 (8.00) Troy Batchelor 7.67 (8.33) Chris Holder 5.41 (6.12) Lewis Rose 5.40 (6.40) Kai Huckenbeck 4.84 (5.47) Nikolas Porsing 4.76 (5.52) Josh Bailey 1.60 (1.87) Total 37.51 (41.71) It's clear to see the Lambert, Batchelor, Rose & possibly Huckenbeck are safe Holder, Porsing & Bailey at the moment have the axe over them

Funny isn't it, we all know had Huckenbeck been there he'd of scored a 15 point max wouldn't he Come on Dale, don't go down the route of trying to pull the wool over the fans eyes ffs

Robert Lambert apart they all need fooking sacking

Well, for my first visit to Monmore I quite like the track I have to say. What a pile of sh!te we are. An absolute disgrace of a team with the exception of Robert Lambert.

Thanks, but I'll already be in Wolverhampton. Now living there half the week

I agree with most, Lambert has missed the 2017 British Final opportunity. Any rider competing ​in the British Final should have completed in the semi finals.

so much truth is said in jest I'm hoping for a rain off, my car has just become fooked.

Will be my first time at Wolverhampton for this one. Feel it could be embarrassing for us though with the Stars struggling to hit 40 points.

Yes he is, further strengthened the Stars chances

Who's what going to be? Remarks from who? You have to elaborate as not everyone reads the Speedy Star

Man for man the Stars should lap up the points from this meeting. Truth is, we look like a team of under-achievers at the moment but having Cook as guest certainly makes us even stronger on current form. Somerset 1. Rohan Tungate 2. Paul Starke 3. Charles Wright 4. Patrick Hougaard 5. Josh Grajczonek 6. Jake Allen 7. Jan Graversen 1. Craig Cook (G) 2. Lewis Rose 3. Nicklas Porsing 4. Troy Batchelor 5. Robert Lambert 6. Kai Huckenbeck 7. Josh Bailey (Guest likely after withdrawal from U21s)

If any of the Cradley riders ride in the Championship they'll be ineligible

Yes I did, he had a lot to say. But I'm not sure what you're arguing about. Are you saying Gerhard hasn't took engines to the next level?

We all know there's nothing new with Gerhard but what they've done is build a reliable engine that requires less servicing and maintains performance against the big tuners. This is forcing the hand of the tuners to up their game i.e. PJR machining and testing their own improved parts. Regardless of people's opinion, it cannot be denied that Gerhard has forced engine manufacturers and tuners to improve their product for the better benefit of Speedway.

We know
