Glennylion Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 I dont think Linus would come back; he only came back this season as emergency cover. My mistake. I was think of Nemo and never gave Linus a thought!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevethelion Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 So here we go, for what it's worth. 1. Magnus Karlsson 7.79 2. Jan Graversen. 4.97 3. Kauko Neiminen. 7.25 4. Jacob Thorssell. 7.06 5. Kevin Doolan. 7.75 6. Charles wright. 4.05 7. Paul Starke. 3.22 Total. 42.09 I know people will say that's almost the same team as last year, but Maggie, Doolan and Gravo are all worthy of another season. A fully fit Nemo is a steel at 7.25 so is Thorssell and 2 very good British reserve who have proved themselves in the latter part of this season. All speculation as non of us know what next year will bring in terms of league structure. Like the look of that team, but i'd go for Henning Bager (5.21), instead of Jan Graversen. Jan scores decent amount at home , but his away scores are pretty poor. I think Bager could at least match Jan's scores at home & easily score more away than he does. But having said that i think Jan will be back because he's a Lions asset (i think) & that's the cheaper option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Al Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 I'd be wary of riders who are into their 30's and who have had injury problems and whose averages have dropped. It may be tempting to take advantage of them being available at "bargain" averages, but sadly they all too often cannot stop their decline.This would rule out Kauko and Howe. Nick Morris is the only rider, at present, i would advise to bring in. The rest of the team depends totally on the league structure next season and where we are within it. However, Doolan and Karlsson are worth a punt providing the circumstances are suitable, and the rest of the team is age 20-30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is usually a good reason for the drop. Whether it's age, injuries, investment or the other important point you didn't mention, riders appearing to prioritise their best equipment, investment or efforts away from the club expecting the bargain (such as can happen when riders double up).. If the track is the same as this year then i'd second Nick Morris on the basis that he's provided probably 50% of the decent races i've witnessed this year at BP!

Long Eye Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Any rider that is over 25 or doesn't increase his average by half a point every season should be shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenga Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 dont think the lions will be running in 2014. pee poor fans ALWAYS having a go at the promotion, no matter what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedcarRacer Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Clearly this top should be moved to Elite, as Mr Helmsley states in the Star they full intend on riding against the likes of Cov, Wolves and Birmingham - so whatever it is called that will be top-flight and not the Prem.

wandersome Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 thats probably a done deal already yes i agree, I've heard lots of rumours about Kasprzak and Hemsley already, though i must point out i haven't heard any of those potentially libellous sounding rumours doing the rounds. Definately haven't heard any of those! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
