That is a bold statement to make , shall the rest of league teams pull out as it looks like you've got the title already . Injuries and luck good and bad will play there part at the end of the day. The only thing that is certain is the outcome is uncertain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89buttons Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Discounting injuries which always play a major part... I see three mini leagues in one top 3 ipswich/Glasgow/Sheffield finishing in any order middle pack fighting for 4th lakeside/Scunthorpe/Edinburgh/Redcar/Workington bottom end fighting to avoid wooden spoon Newcastle/Peterborough/Berwick For me the top 3 are the clear strongest but then thereafter that it’s a bit harder to call - at Ipswich our success hinges a little on how quickly the German lad settles and the injury returnees... lots of people saying lakeside nailed on for top 4 - I think they have a long tail - never really rated Morley - and Ellis/Newman engine room looks somewhat inconsistent and prone to crashes/injuries - but one of the biggest Home advantage track in the league! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 While I see Sheffield as a top half side they don't strike me on paper as being in the top two or three, not sure what people are seeing that I'm not with all due respect.

Kyle howarth stepped up last year and with no s.worrall/josh g/cook/masters in the league this year will easily hold his own stepping up to number 1 lasse and wright are very good heat leaders and both will be formidable at home. bates frankly has the ability to go as far as he wants in the sport - just needs to get his head right consistently - showed signs of that last year so potential to improve kurtz is fantastic at Sheffield and has become more and more solid at number 2 year on year shanes could be one of the leagues biggest improvers this year smith has bags of potential just waiting to be unlocked - nevertheless he’s improved every year in his short career so far...... im an Ipswich fan so no tinted specs - I really can’t see the weak link here.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we are seeing is last season's league champions made even stronger with the acquisition of Wright, Shanes and Smith. We were sorry to lose Josh G, but that will be more than compensated by more power at 6 & 7 and 3 genuine heat leaders any one of whom could finish the season at no. 1 (not to mention a captain who's in the habit of winning titles!) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
