People get to hung up on averages. My opinion on this team injury free is top 4 comfortably. End of season average prediction as follows

1. Masters 7.35 (=) 

2. Morris 5.38 (+1.00)

3. Schlein 6.65 (-1.00)

4. Becker 5.27 (+1.00)

5. Thorsell 7.33 (+0.50)

6. Douglas 4.66 (+1.50)

7. Nicol 4.00 (+1.00)

Ave: 40.64 (44.64)

All this chat about Lindgren, Hancock etc is absolutely hilarious to think Wolves fans think it's even possible. 

Its hilarious to think nicol will go upto 5 and douglas 6.16, nicol will do well to maintain his average and douglas if stays at reserve 5.50 tops and add to that schlein down a pt i somehowe doubt that he will stay around 7pt average.

Don’t know how it’s hilarious tho. The bottom 3 have great potential to improve. More than probably any of the other 6 teams bottom 3 when announced. 

The bottom end is fine (although I’d agree Nicholls for Nicol would be an even better option on paper) it’s just if the top 2 are staying the same is the biggest issue as to why we are building 2 points below the limit.

I think you've pinned too much into either Freddie or Hancock agreeing a deal. It's looking like that won't happen now so just the consequence of building a certain way.

Schlein retires this season, I just don't see him going all out. High 5's in the averages at best for me

It’s only because with the points limit it points to a number one signing with one of JT or SM. If it happens it happens. I’m sure Wolves fans will find out more on Tuesday anyway. It could be an interesting talk in one  way or another.

Steve your going to get use to team from last year plus broc. But I really do think they will be in the playoffs,  and a surprise or two when the seasons running??

Riddiculas to think success is finishing 4th in a 7 team League. To run a top 4 play off system the league needs 10 teams so we get 4 actual good teams in the play offs . You can't take a 4 team play off system with a 7 team league seriously.

Finishing 1st to 4th at the end of the season is the first success. Makes no difference if that’s 1st or 4th tho. Sweden and Poland don’t have much bigger league systems yet those are measured a success. Sweden ran a season with only 7 teams in recent years. 

In an ideal world we would have 10 - 12 teams in each league plus a proper system for ensuring the next generation have a proper education system towards the top tier. We can all dream tho.

Never understood this thought process. Both Sweden and Poland have ran with 7 team leagues, the 2 strongest nations in this sport, with absolutely no issue.

So why does Lindgren's website have a section for his SGB Premiership team with TBA written in? Has it been there since he left or is it a new thing? Does it mean anything? Interesting.

It also has Elitserin on it with Smederna's badge, he's said he'll be giving that a miss this year.  I'm sure his website has been neglected for a while.

I have a feeling you're right, I certainly wouldn't read too much into that to be honest

Although it's the talk-in tonight no way will they reveal the final 3 riders, except perhaps Becker. They will want to announce these things on their own website instead on social media by fans.

Hopefully some clues will be gained if it’s likely the expected duo or waiting on ‘someone’.

I just hope I can make it tonight but might not be there till late so might just skip it if I can’t be there 8ish.

Hopefully someone will put some info on tho anyway.

I just hope it's not going to be the big letdown most of us think it's going to be.

Looking on the bright side, at least it will save me a few bob.

Hopefully more news will filter thru later on the news (I couldn’t make it time sadly).

So far i heard that Hancock has been spoken too as the main news that’s filtered out so far.
