ProudtobeaBrummie Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 My prediction to what order in averages they finish the season.. Shanes ayres graverson perks zack waj jack smith Bailey Greaves. I would be amazed if all 8 finished off in this league .. When you consider only ayres has scored a few points outside the NL so far in there careers it may be a season too early for a few of these....

SomersetBlue Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 Graversen purely because of his experience in the top tier. Wajtknecht Bailey Ayers Smith Shanes Perks Greaves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 Smith will do well just because he's so good at the NSS. But most do the 2 pointers will struggle to beat anyone other than the other 2 pointers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookieIpswich Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Not good for their development at all only being in theory most likely to beat the opposite number 7. Maybe Premiership should have had a team building points limit of 54 with the lowest average rider not being able to fall below 4.5 meaning proper youngsters would have to work through the championship, could that of ever worked? 1. Chris Holder 12.53 2. Kyle Newman 6.31 3. Danny King 9.57 4. Lewis Kerr 5.98 5. Robert Lambert 8.92 6. Kai Huckenbeck 5.24 7. Josh Bates 4.89 Would this not give the premiership a stronger league and litter the championship with young talent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 What a competition this is. Who can be in the most heats when more competent riders fail to complete 4 laps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 I think Shanes may suffer from having no other regular racing. Very odd that he doesn't have a CL and / or NL place. Compare that to Bailey and Smith who will be racing for three teams and may develop faster as a result, although of course burn out is also a risk. Graversen ought to make hay initially although having had a year out won't help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny the spud Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 James has lots of grasstrack lined up I believe, this will help keep him sharp but will also rattle Matt Ford's nerves a little. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Najjer Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 It's funny that the signing of Graversen was mocked initially, but people are now saying he's likely to be the best no.7 in the league. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Doubt he will be by the end of the season but to begin with experience alone should make him the strongest. Anyway you know what the BSF is like for knee jerk reactions and people judging riders and line ups too soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray c Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Not enough racing for James shanes i think he also needs national league as well . Danny ayres to finish highest. Just my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sings4Speedway Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Graversen AyresSmithBaileyShanes PerksWajtknecht Greaves However as the reserves are no longer protected most will only get 3 rides a meeting and be swapped out of heat 8 in favour of their stronger reserve partner. The sport as its nature is sink or swim so there may be some who suffer a confidence drop but if 2 or 3 make it then i would call it a success.

Shale Searcher Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 The youngsters doing 3 leagues, also have 3 times larger risk of getting injured... Probably whilst riding in the lower leagues... Just saying.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waco Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 (edited) Having only 3 rides on a regular basis is going to knock the confidence of some of these 2 pointers,,,and some will become dissilusioned ,,to say nothing of their lack of earning power,,Personally i think having a 5 pointer and a 2 pointer at reserve is a bad idea to start with....

Is that because Rye House couldn't fit Morley in by doing exactly that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudtobeaBrummie Posted March 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 So reading all the previous comments it really does put alot of pressure now on your number 6 who probably gets 5 rides every meeting and will be expected to score big .. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will certainly be interesting to see which approach works best? Teams like Belle Vue, Rye House & Wolves will probably see their reserves stay reserves all season whereas Somerset, Leicester & Poole look to always have a strong number 6 whoever moves up/down.
