Niels K Iversen

Kevin Wolbert/Lasse Bjerre

Mads Korneliussen

Mateusz Szczepaniak

Hans Andersen

4.00 Foreign Rider

2 out of Linus Eklof/Richie Worrall/Mason Campton

 

A smidge over 41, but I think Mads and Matuesz's averages will drop a tad before end of season...

They really need to build up bit of an asset base. The current assets are mainly PL riders, at best.

Need to avoid a "battle for the scraps" year after year with BV.

As one of the few assets, Wolbert should be the first name on the teamsheet for next year.

If Szczepaniak is an asset, bring him back aswell. Think he's done more than enough to warrant a team spot in '13.

 

Wouldn't be at all surprised if Ford has something to do about that though.

Other than that, bring in a new rider who can hold down his average with an eye for the future.

And Olly Allen + 3 others depending on who fits, and who's available.

 

I think you will find Wolbert is still an Edinburgh asset. If Buster is unsure of how the Elite League is for Kings Lynn (2 year option ) then why would he spend money building up assets who won't be able to use in the future. If he decides this coming year that future for Lynn is Elite then he must have built up a war chest through the sales of the likes of Ward, Doolan, Batch etc. next season could see us sign a few up for the future. Then again we could be riding Ipswich 6/8 times

He should be an 8 and it would be crazy if it was a 5 this or next season.

 

But like SCB says, it depends who asks.

 

Anything other than a 5 we all know would be wrong.

 

And when you look at it as it stands, why should a rider in the GP series at the moment and a winner too to boot, be even considered to be allowed in as a 5 pointer?

He is only in because of the injury to Hampel.

I think SCB was saying he would be an 8 if say Lynn or Coventry came in for him this season as he is a GP rider.But say Poole came in for him he would be a 5 as he didn't actually qualify for the Gp's and he is only a reserve.

Maybe SCB will clarify this.

Exactly that. The rules are not clear either way so both interpretations could be used.

I heard it was possible that Tomasz Gollob would come in on a re-assessed 5 also.

 

Some 12 or 13 years ago, whilst on the Monmore terraces, someone as knowledgeable about Wolves as you are told me Peter Karlsson would never ride for any team other than Wolves.

 

Some four or five different teams later..........

Yea yea of course. You know more than me. blah de blah.

 

Of course if Tai wants to move he will. Do i think it will happen? No way.

 

PK moved ONLY because he wasnt included team plans. He would be at Wolves every season if he could, and has made no bones about it.

 

Freddie will have had ten seasons at Wolves next season. How many times (even this) have people said he should move/needs to move/will move?

Has he?

I believe Tai will have his 10 year testimonial as a wolf and in wolves colour all of them.

 

However If Tai does fancy a move there will be plenty telling me i told you say.

 

I cant wait to get to his 10th season so i can do the same. ;)

It only takes a fall out with the promotion for Tai to move elsewhere.

 

Personally dont see why he would move he has come on a bundle at EL level but still has a long way to go before he is GP class but thats for a different topic.

 

Think Lynn should retain NKI as he really has held the side together at times this year and upped his game all over Europe big time. Id get shot of Korneliussen, as much as I like the guy he proved last season was a bit of a one season wonder.

I'm not that bothered who we get as long as they are committed to the cause. I don't mind losing provided they show conviction and have respect for the supporters.. Just turning up and going though the motions is not acceptable, at any level.....

I think Peterborough might take Iversen back for 2013, and form a spearhead with Bjerre... it would easily be within their average limits as Bjerre's has dropped quite a bit.

 

1. Hans Andersen 8.09

2. Mateusz Szczepaniak 5.19

3. Maciej Janowski 6.37

4. Olly Allen 5.77

5. Chris Harris 7.55

6. Kevin Wolbert/Lasse Bjerre 5.03

7. Linus Eklof/Richie Worrall/Mason Campton 3.00

 

Total 41.00

Imagine if Wolves and BV had actually gone ahead and swapped Lindgren and Stead? The reaction would have been amazing.

Thinking we need a team with three decent heat leaders to be more competitive at home, I wasted a bit of time thinking about the possible scenario and came up with:

1. Neils K Iversen. 8.79

2. K. Wolbert:. 5.03

3. Rory Schlein:. 7.23

4 M. Janowski . 6.37

5. B. Harris. . 7.55

6. K. Smith: . 3.73

7. L. Eklof: 3.00

 

Total: 41.70

 

Assuming the points limit this year wil be raised to 42 pts.. This would give us the 3 good heat leaders, plus 2 experienced 2nd strings, and 2 reserves who will increase their averages...
