BWitcher Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 (edited) Looks like a terrible top flight side. Thank god this is the SGB Premiership instead! Looks pretty solid to me. This sort of league standard will suit Sam and Sqora in my opinion, can both easily top their averages up. Call it what you like but it looks like this might well be one of the closest and most unpredictable seasons for a long time. (Just don't call it top level!) Here we go again.. "Just don't call it top level". Name me a higher standard league in the UK? I suspect you won't be able too, which makes the Premiership the top level league.

Wolfsbane Posted December 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 On all known form at this level Greaves is out of his depth. The saving grace is that others have similar standard riders with less experience. He should have one standing instruction every time he goes to the tapes. 'Stay on your bike lad'. Unless I miss my guess he should achieve his average by doing that alone. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattfordfan Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 Wolves maybe a bit weak at reserve. Especially away from home. Time will tell though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game On Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 You will have to ask CVS that. Something went wrong at the 11th hour. I don't know what though. Maybe BV or Leicester offered him a more suitable deal? So in other words you were wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattJ81 Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 Greaves does have plenty of laps of Monmore under his belt from his Cradley days (sadly/predictably we are becoming something of a feeder club - though I suppose the current alternative is far worse!) Injuries have slowed his progress compared to Clegg for example, they both started in the Cradley team at much the same time at a similar level, but Greaves has the talent to push on. I hope he has an injury free season. At home he should collect points from similar level reserves, which I guess is his job, and if he still has Ermolenko as a mentor that will probably help too!

foreverblue Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 So in other words you were wrong. In other words he was talking out of his rear end as usual! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 (edited) According to my calculator using official figures. F.Lindgren 10.09 J Thorsell 9.89 S Masters 8.97 K Howarth 7.18 A Scornicki 7.22 M Clegg 4.34 N Greaves 2.32 Comes to 50.01! Not going to challenge even if they are over 50 points. Weak reserves, very dodgy second strings. Edited December 19, 2016 by Steve Shovlar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 Not going to challenge even if they are over 50 points. Weak reserves, very dodgy second strings. Shock horror Shovlar in having a go at another team shocker! Wolves top 3 looks to me stronger than Pooles Howarth will be a better second string then Jack Holder, as they averaged the same in the lower league but Howarth at least for this season has the experience of the other tracks. Skornicki is debatable but he could easily average the same as Kurtz. And yes the reserves are weaker than Pooles. So although i think Poole are stronger you are foolhardy to dismiss the Wolves team as one that isnt going to challenge. So far you have said Kings Lynn could be top 4 if they avoid injuries!! Rye House are to old Wolves dont look strong enough. So come on then who will be challengers to Poole??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebrum Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 Not my fault if CVS changed plans at the 11th hour. Maybe Schlein got a better offer elsewhere which is why the deal collapsed. Grow up Gavan. Stick to the Championship section. Not my fault CVS changed plans at the 11th hour. See above post. Not my fault CVS changed plans at the 11th hour so you have mentioned at least 11 times on this thread already. Nobody believes you and you got a guess wrong. Deal with it. I will do you a favour tho Daz, I will ask CVS if Schlein was being seriously considered at the pre season talk in in March and will post his honest answer. We know he was being considered on that average but Adam was always favourite for the job - as has been expected with the news today. Unfortunately the BSPA make a habit of this sort of thing and it isn't helpful, it could and should be properly explained, at the least it would stop a lot of the flak they get on here. I agree, clarity would be a transparent explanation! Nope. Rory was on his way to Wolves. Something has gone wrong. Hopefully their will be a piece in the Speedway Star about it. I'm still laughing at your prediction gone wrong excuses still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately i was proved right when i said that Brady would let us down at the wrong time and he will again. He is regarded by some as a gp rider in the making but i don't think so. Jack Holder has far more potential in my opinion. Wolves have built a decent team who will challenge although a bit weak at reserve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BWitcher Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 (edited) You won last year by fate. (You win the league once every 7 years). Maths not your strong point either is it? If you want to go down the 'fate' route, we're due to win this year... last year wasn't supposed to happen Edited December 19, 2016 by BWitcher 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 Wolves will struggle. Weak reserves. Skornicki is a gamble after 2 years out. Howarth was hit and miss as a reserve last season. CVS wouldn't give you an honest answer. CVS isn't going to say we wanted Schlein but ended up with Skornicki is he now. Your not a Poole fan. All you ever do is put our team down. Our team is better than anyone else's only KL could challenge us. No they will be top 4...........and maybe bring in a gp rider at the right time. Oh and foreverblue is a diehard Poole fan.....................what he isnt is a blue tint and is actually intelligent and sensible enough to have a discussion unlike the 3 of you that continually drag the name of Poole speedway down on this forum. When you say 'our team' is that Poole or Swindon as you change teams quite a bit. NIce to see the Wolves thread ruined by the likes of you and Shovlar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWitcher Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 You last won the league in 2009 before this year. I know what you mean though should have put this year instead of last year. Clearly you don't know what I mean. Wolves have won the league in 91,96,02,09 and then 16. As said, if you are referring to 'fate' we were a year early.

Steve Shovlar Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 Like you seem to be saying about every other team other than Poole. Predictably dull response. Sorry that my response is dull. I don't rate the Wolves team at all and think they will just about make top four. The reserves are desperately weak and liable to be there all season. Greaves and Clegg will be cannon fodder away from Monmore. Howarth didn't kick on at all last year and Skornicki should have stayed retired. Unless there are changes this team will be nowhere near retaining the title. Three stronger teams already announced in Poole, Rye House and Kings Lynn. If Coventry do run they will be battling with Wolves for 4th spot. (Obviously BV and Leicester teams are not yet announced) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
