Speedball Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 Nico Covatti on 4.70 would be good signing considering his appearances with Somerset last season, but can't see him being anywhere other than Ipswich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never mentioned Jonsson, he has no link with the Stars I know of. You put THJ in a potential Star, I said Jonasson wouldn't do a full UK season. Has he ever before?

Danny Connor Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 20 hours ago, Speedball said: As much as I'd love to see Doyle and Lambert together, that would leave us far too weak elsewhere. I'd like us to try and build the team in the same way as we did last season. A strong number 1, a decent number 5 to provide support in heats 13 & 15, two dependable solid middle order (5.5 to 6.5 types) and a strong reserve. Lambert looks nailed on. Certainly more positive than things were this time last season with him. Lambert and Iversen would be a decent start though I wonder if Niels might head back to Peterborough. Don't think he looked confident at the AFA at all last season. Don't think many would be upset to see any of Proctor, Jorgensen, Palm Toft or Riss back but unlikely we'd be able to fit all in. Our final team average was 44.24 so we've got to lose 1.74 somewhere down the line. I imagine of the 4, Proctor would be most vulnerable as he has the highest average. Not done the maths, but with a British reduction of 2.5% for Lambert and Kerr, would the following fit? Lambert Palm Toft Riss Jorgensen Iversen Kerr Whatever is left? EDIT - In answer to my own question - NO That 6 come to 39.92 by my quick calculations so not enough for a 3.00 pointer at the bottom. Would thj or kai and Kasper Andersen fit in place of Kerr.?

THJ has tweeted that he is looking for a 2019 British place as he hasn't got a ride in his native Sweden - in either of their leagues. He's only currently signed up for a Polish lower division place.

John Scrutton Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 I would like to see Kerr back again but they would have to make sure that he had FULLY recovered from his bad injuries that he got this year i think that I heard he was having a hard time getting himself fit again.

If you can’t get signed up in either of your home leagues - that speaks volumes (although probably wants too much dosh for his current abilities! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THJ is thinking he is better than he is from the sounds of things. But on that average must be worth it. In fact I’m amazed a champ team hasn’t tried it. Would be on 6.96.

As good a prospect as he is it would not be right for him to jump straight in to the top league IMO anyway A great shame us Witches fans are unlikely to see the continuation of his progress in Witches colours immediately but what is best for Drew is more important Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Edinburgh released this quote below. I appreciate its championship but it must be something. New foreigner riders will enter the league with a 5 point average if they have ridden in a professional league - Denmark, Poland or Sweden - before and 4 if they have not."
