BluPanther Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 I suspect everyone is really looking forward to the top end signings, it's somewhat hazy to see who they might be. Although expected, King and Allen are good signings, especially Allen who is more than likely to improve in 2019... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 I would still expect the team to be something like..... 1. ? 2. ? 3. Lawson 4. King 5. Nicholls 6. Allen 7. Heeps/Jensen No idea what would leave and what options we have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was on many people’s wish lists on here and will be a very handy rider at reserve. Good signing for you there. I bet he had a good few teams after him as well. I would of welcomed him at the AFA for 2019. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rohan burnt a few bridges at Foxhall before he left, constantly moaning about the track not being prepared properly and having a fall out with Louis. If thats all water under the bridge then he could easily be in the 1-7 but wouldnt leave huge amounts for the last rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only fear on Jakobsen is I think he will develop later rather than earlier so would the team be able to carry him (possibly) early season ?? Matt Ford said in an article last few days that 1/2 teams had shown interest as Poole cannot accommodate/afford him due to cost constraints.

But for us you’d have to say he is. Knows Foxhall like the back of his hand and as was said earlier, is rarely beaten by the heatleaders in the Championship around the Heath so should be a solid scorer to help win our home meetings which is important.

Falcon1983 Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 ok I think based on what I am hearing personally the team is going to look very close to this. 1. Smolinski 2. Lawson 3. Nicholls 4. King 5. Tungate 6 Haertel 7 Allen Seems Ipswich will opt for the cheaper option of Tungate who will be based in the UK and cheaper cost and easier logistic side of bringing two German riders over together as opposed to opting for riders from different countries. However depending upon who you actually talk to and what other say the team could look like this 1. Hampel 2. Lawson 3. Nicholls 4. King 5. Przedpelski 6. Allen 7. Heeps People saying Hampel does not want the UK at his age or would be too expensive, Hampel now would be less expensive than he was a few seasons ago, looking at the other no.1's it could be seen as easier for him and thus easier money and would bring Pawel with him to develope him, I believe they do share a sponsor or two who would like to see this partnership develope, it would certainly be exciting even if for one season. Przedpelski is keen to continue in the UK after a short stint at Leicester and only Wolves is a small track in this league so it would definately suit him and bring him on. Heeps is the enigma, but I can see Louis and Hawkins giving him the first few meetings to see what Heeps comes to the party, if he does well then great if not will be replaced by Kemp once he has achieved his average.

acef Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 This Ipswich will be cannon fodder I’m afraid. Unless they can pull a rabbit out the hat, they are going to struggle in a big way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
