StephenMiller Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 If the new promotion lets JPB slip through their fingers for 2018 I think this will be a massive mistake. The lad is one of the brightest prospects we've seen in British Speedway for a long time, and judging by his immediate "come & sign me for 2018" comment on the mic at the Tony Mole farewell obviously wants to return ! Surely he should have been the first rider signed up for next season ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brummie Boy Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 (edited) JPB 8.66 kinsley 4.53 Hall 6.00 wallinger 5.64 Hume 7.33 Hampshire 4.18 Halder 3.49 I think plenty on improvement in that team and with jpb,hall and hume 3 really solid heat leaders and will always be fairly strong at reserve also Now Flint is signed, assuming the average is set at 40 points, I would like to see the following for next season: JPB 8.66 Hume 7.33 Bowtell 6.65 (available Lakeside moving up) Hunter 5.43 (may possibly not fit at Kent) Hampshire 4.18 Cupitt 4.00 (worth another season / starting at reserve) Flint 3.00 Total 39.25 If JPB decides to move elsewhere (which I am hoping is unlikely) then Tom Bacon would be welcome back, as upped his average in 2017, or Mitchel Davey (seems to love the Perry Barr track) would be other options.

Thats a good team. Always a useful reserve and a powerful top 2. However I think Hunter will be further south. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moleman27 Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 You say this that you think Hunter will be at Eastbourne. But Powell with his average I would say has more potential and better on his average to have in the team than Hunter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaboy279 Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 I d disagree with that massively, plus Hunter is marrying into the Dugard family. Powell looks a complete novice at some tracks imo, and great at others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powell looks a complete novice at some tracks imo, and great at others. kelsey's to young to get married , he should see a bit of life first . i agree with you on powell but i've aligned his poorer performances to the wetter tracks even at arlington , think there's more to come from him so well worth a team place even on his average.

Gunner85 Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Flint is a good signing.... Hope Birmingham have some experience at the top but mainly rely on youngsters who are on the way up. Let’s get back to the NL being a training ground for young British talent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moleman27 Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 (edited) The NL is a league of upcoming British talent, and if you think otherwise I dont know what league you have been watching!!

uk_martin Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 The NL is a league of upcoming British talent, and if you think otherwise I dont know what league you have been watching!! Maybe he has Stoke Potters in mind? Excellent signing for the Brummies well on course for a competitive team once again . Early days yet but a good signing imho. Saw this young man in action in Güstrow earlier this year and he was as competitive as any of the local youngsters. From memory he finished a competitive second in each of his three 250cc races. If he adapts well to man-sized bikes, he'll do ok. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
