Crikey Hans being outspoken and having a row with someone now thats unusual.....

 

what was the row about? can you expand please? Thanks

About Hans denying Britain a World Cup win and bringing RICOs kids into the argument. Havvy was out of order

And Hansen at dinner dance when our first signing will be announced...

Certainly points to him signing, Bomber and Fisher also attending.

Depending on point limit, would like to see the following riders for 2014

1. Andersen

2. Hansen

3. Zengota

4.

5. Harris

6. Kozza

7.

Harris is not an heat leader rather have Scott than Harris better team man the rest of you them is ok with me wouldn't mind Sunstrom if we could fit in

You have to look at riders who can improve their average, I would bet on Harris averaging more than 6.8 next season. Fisher is just under 6 at a guess, another rider who can improve that. Can Scott improve his I dont think so. Depending on points limit Bomber could be 3rd heat leader next year, what a rider to have in that position.

That's what I thought this year with Fish starting on 5.27, but he only raised that to 5.71. Not sure Fish has much improvement in him. but a solid guy in the middle order, and a likable chap...

Martin Smolinski and Ben Barker could hhold the key to the Bees line up next season as Birmingham want to bring them back and Bees are interested in two of their assets in exchange on loan.

 

Linus Sundstrom and Scott Nicholls could form a decent top three with Summers as a second string.

Are you saying Bomber doesnt? Probably one of the most committed you are ever likely to see. Off course Scott gives100% but I wouldn't have him in the side on that average. Im fairly confident Bomber will average more than Scott in 2014.

I agree, if the track is well prepared with some dirt on it Bomber will have a good season.

As much as I dislike him and never thought I'd be in the position to say it, I'd be happy with Bomber back. The average is a bargain. He's still a 7.5 man, yes he's declining, but Nicholls has declined more than Harris. One season at another club and getting an average down to 6.82 could be a little suspicious to some, but I fully expect if he's back at Brandon, you'll see a vast improvement on that.

 

Onto Scott, he's my favourite rider of all time, but he's declining and will continue to do so. Unlike Harris and people saying "he will improve", I don't think Scott will improve on anything he drops to unfortunately. Do I see him retiring? No, because it's his job and he's clearly still hungry for it. But he doesn't have the capability anymore. However, we need to bear it in mind that the league points limit is going to be considerably lower next season. So having Nicholls and Harris on those averages may be something worth looking at.

 

As for the rest of this year's team, I'd scrap them all, even Zengota. I wouldn't be displeased if he returned as he's a likeable guy and very good at Brandon but his away form is awful, just like Summers.

 

I'd like to see us line up with a team like this (given the rumours of the limit next year):

 

1. Sundstrom

2. Barker

3. Harris

4. Fisher

5. Hansen

6. Garrity

7. Auty

I can see the side being something like that, Auty should be in the promotion minds for a reserve spot.
