:rolleyes: really Dan....!   Hardly average... Howarths a great number one, I would love him at Scunny...(Although i'm more than happy with Stevie W :)).  Bates will get better.. Wright seems to improve year on year... Bjerre and Kurtz probably won't improve their averages but wouldn't be surprised if they do. Couple of reserves that can only improve as the season goes on...  Sheffield will be amongst the top 4... Reckon Scunny will match them though.

I'm usually hopeless at predictions but just for the fun of taking part here goes:-

1-Ipswich

2-Glasgow

3-Lakeside

4-Workington

5-Peterborough

6-Sheffield

7-Berwick

8-Scunthorpe

9-Redcar

10-Edinburgh

Newcastle ?

There is no way Scunny will finish that low

I think it will boil down to home form & how riders adapt to their new homes & finding the best set ups as there are less meetings this year so cannot allow for many slip ups. Also, teams have not had a lot, if any, track time.

1. Ipswich

2. Glasgow

3. Sheffield

4. Scunthorpe

5. Lakeside

6. Edinburgh

7. Peterborough

8. Workington

9. Redcar

10. Newcastle

11. Berwick

Id expect Haertel will be 5.2 in line with others

Yes. There was a secret list of 260ish names circulated to promoters of new foreign riders of which most were assessed at 4 for the Premiership. The conversion factor of 1.3 for the Championship takes him to 5.2.

It looks like 4 from 5 for the POs with Lakeside just missing out, but I won’t rule out Edinburgh completely from nicking 4th. Ipswich, Glasgow & Sheffield look a cut above some teams. Whilst the bottom 2 look dreadful and will be well adrift.

Now that Glasgow have changed Parkinson-Blackburn for Mountain I now make them likely to finish ahead of Ipswich.
