I like the look of Ipswich. Not sure on Kings Lynn, depends what Kildemand is like. Wolves & Peterborough are underwhelming, but hoping a year at Monmore does Kemp some good. Fricke to top the Premiership averages. Pickering is replacing Riss & Kildemand is replacing Barker, so Lynn have certainly strengthened there. Top rider could be Doyle, Holder or Fricke tbh. I just rate Doyle the highest! You must be one of the few who rate Ipswich lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with that but I think it will be close between Fricke and Doyle, can't see Holder challenging them for top spot. I don't rate Ipswich either but I can see Peterborough challenging again especially if Basso performs as expected. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtf Posted February 26, 2022 Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 There's more reasons than just speedway as to why the 3 top Aussies are riding over here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 Sheffield - Top 5 are light years ahead of anyone else, only weak link are their reserves.Ipswich - Doyle may not be the force he was but he's still one of only two GP riders in British Speedway sadly, solid middle order and they'll have a decent reserve.Peterborough - Dad's army maybe waning but better septet than the three I'll mention below.Belle Vue - I think Fricke will top the averages and Brennan will be the stand out RS, but question marks of the other 5. Can Kurtz finally realise his potential? Can't see there is much more to come from Wright, Etheridge & Allen. Blodorn is unknown.Wolves - Masters isn't in the same class as Fricke, NKI, Doyle & Holder and won't find points against the likes them easy to come by. Nothing more to come from Morris & Worrall, not sure Douglas has much improvement in him. Becker could be their shining light, but he's had his "sophomore slump" second season now and it's time for him to challenge the heat leader positions before he becomes the next Ricky Wells. I hope Kemp begins to realise his potential but not sure Monmore will suit him.Kings Lynn - At least they should hold their own at home this year, but once NKI leaves unless Kildemand has a revival they will lack a #1. Should have a good reserve all year at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappy Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 (edited) Basso interests me can he push into the main body of dad's army? And can Palin improve Then there's the Ostergaard conundrum, the rest will be as good of not better in MPT's case who I feel will kick on this season Edited March 25, 2022 by Flappy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I don't think Panthers will win the league again but they will give it everything on a great racetrack and in my opinion have the best team manager in the Premiership.

Should have a good reserve all year at least. Don’t really fancy Ipswich to challenge personally, I don't know why they built a team so far under the points limit. If Belle Vue can get a decent heat leader mid season to replace Etheridge or Allen then they could challenge. Wolves look ordinary but have a massive home advantage and Steve Worrall could be a great signing. Kings lynn are the dark horses if Kildermand could come to form they could have a great season but Sheffield are the team to beat, I doubt anyone would question that,Musielak is a fantastic signing. Peterborough will not give their title away easily though. A very interesting season to come with hopefully some great racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
