James wasn't a Tiger in 2017. well the correct grammar you are looking for then. is previous two and not past two,that is why i stated shanesy.

Charlieboy Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 Not if Leicester drop down !!! If they stay in premiership then possibly.If you listen to steadys interview he was a bit uncertain what might be happening .I think they may drop down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlieboy Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 Kyle must be nailed on for next season on a 7-49 and Josh g 8-50 and I would be well happy if we got Kasper on a 5-20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OdsalBoy Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 Would be quite surprised if Kyle and Kasper were not at Sheffield next season. I would like to see Dimi Berge back too. I would also Like to see Josh Auty return to the club but I am not sure what the chances of that actually happening are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Josh was granted a testimonial at the AGM, I would hope he is a Scorpion next year after his improved form this year with his testimonial being the curtain raiser in 2019.

The Third Man Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 Josh G - A real number 1 Kennedy Anderson Kurtz for starters, after that it depends on the points limit and the make up of the league I suppose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cue Ball Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 Just wondering... we had gold on the race suits this year given we were the champions, do you think we will have wood grain next year given we've got the wooden spoon? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good team around him and i feel he could score points for us next season. Anyone know what average Zaine will be arriving on, 5.00 ? Broc Nichol, Jordan Stewart and Gino Manzares appear to have a minimum average of 4.00, so I imagine that Zaine Kennedy would be the same.

Andrew Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 Damien says Zaine will be on a 5.20 average in this article from a couple of weeks back,note he says 'current level', https://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/speedway/sheffield-tigers/speedway-highly-rated-zaine-kennedy-zooms-in-to-join-sheffield-tigers-1-9317720 4.00 is whats given to a non Brit rider if their average drops below 4 during the season ie Broc started on 5.20,his actual average is 3.37 so thats rounded up to 4.00. Kasper on 5.20 is a must,currently returning 6.20 and as he won't do 4h/4a this year for us,his average won't change till next season. And Josh will get a reduction for missing this season through injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinny Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 Kurtz definately is improving as a rider and no longer relies on a reserve berth, I remember my old man saying years ago he would be a Matt Wethers type of rider and he was right. no reason he cant progress to a third heatleader berth over the next season or two.

Personally I would like to see the return of the SJP yellow and blue racejackets, the riders looked good in these. But only the style of racejacket up until the 2006 season, beyond that season the racejackets seemed to get chunkier, and although they may look similar the ones after 2006 were actually just over 1cm wider on the shoulder. Why i know this is even beyond me, but bring back the SJP racejackets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlieboy Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 I would like to see either of these teams next year Josh g Zaine Kyle Kasper proctor Broc Dimi Or Josh g Zaine Charles Kasper Kyle Broc Conner if team average is 42-5 I think either might fit.loan Todd and Josh bates out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. Keep Todd and he'll improve. Bringing back Josh Bates would be a big mistake IMO. He should be asked to prove his race fitness before he's included in the team - maybe a spell in the NL. By March 2019 he won't have sat on a bike for 18 months; with that length of inactivity (and a bad back) who knows if he can still hack it? I'd say let some other team take the risk. Including him in the 2018 team was the factor that started the rot this year. We don't want to make the same mistake twice (but uncle Damian might feel differently!)
