As many have pointed out Nielsen won't be at reserve for Poole, finding it tough to place then with 3 places still to fill!
Thompson twins have lower NL aves than Gilkes, Palin, Lawlor & possibly Jenkins so Leicester could struggle for points there, but have a VERY strong top 5!
Glasgow do have the best rider in the league imo!
Tough to know what to expect from Brennan as while he scored lots of points last year, they were from the "easier" number 7 position!
As with Leicester, Redcar very weak at reserve, with a good top 5 & fantastic top 3!
Can't disagree with any of your comments on Somerset, but would have them placed lower down the table!
Newcastle could very well have best reserves in the league, agree with you there!
Edinburgh look good at heat leader & reserve level but their two new second strings are the big question marks!
Think Scunthorpe look far from boring & could well challenge at the top of the league!
I don't think Covatti will struggle as second HL but Kent surely doesn't suit his style, but if Covatti is at 5 Heeps won't be & should improve his average! Look weak at reserve, but Gilkes is promising!
Berwick don't look strong at HL, SS or reserve so expect a season of struggle for them too! Although that being said look a good home side!
