Guessing Lidsey will end up as third heat leader, or that is at least the hope.  Does Lidsey start at reserve?

Don't know anything about Jake Mulford.  Does that mean Kemp & Rowe have no premiership place in 2023?

Certainly looks that way regarding Kemp and Rowe.

Not a team capable in defending the title in my view. 

A multiple GP winner, an U21 World Champion, a British U21 Champion and several National title winners and you don't think that's a capable team?

Do tell what or who you are looking for?

That's a pretty good team,,,, and it has so much potential improvement as well 

Decent team and a few decent racers too - may have to haul myself to the NSS finally in 2023!

I said it was a decent team, just not a title winning team. Iis Lidsey good enough to be a heat leader, is a Championship reserve good enough to be a PL reserve?

Lidsey, Brennan & Blodorn are all average improvers. Bewley will win almost every race he's in next season. Kurtz has finally improved as a rider too so he could kick on again. Wright will be injury free next season.

It's a good side imo.

Lidsey is so far improved from the one that achieved the average he comes in on its like a different rider

The dictionary in 2023 will have his picture next to the word 'ringer' :P

Kings Lynn may have a better team who knows, of the teams announced Sheffield have the best team.

Lynn won't but Sheffield have looked the best on paper for the last two years and not managed to win a title yet. BV look full of improvement to me and have every chance of retaining.

He will improve his average and if he has improved as much as you say could be a masterstroke.

BV have been the best on paper many times over the years and not managed it until 2022. Bad luck could have scuppered there chance but managed to get Robert Lambert for the playoffs.

That is one strong team very capable of defending the title 

Too many ifs. Bewley needs to do what Doyle did for Ipswich in 2022, Bewley was better than Doyle in GP's, Elitserien, Zlatá přilba but not Ekstraliga. Same again from Kurtz & Wright. Lidsey needs to be the big improver. If Brennan & Blodorn maintain their averages out of the reserve berth, no more can be expected but I'd imagine both will spend time at reserve. Don't expect much of Mulford, averages less than Jack Smith in NDL.

Title favourites especially with the massive home advantage, they won’t drop many if any aggregate points 

What is this massive home advantage? No Zagar, no home advantage. Lidsey has quite a void to fill.

Announced Tigers with Ellis as final piece in jigsaw look stronger.

Are Wright's bones being infused with adamantium while the residents of Wakanda build him race suits?

Rising star "graduates" must have a 25% reduction for the team to fit. I for one am glad they've actually stuck to the rule!
