As a Lynn fan all I can say is have fun with the wooden spoon this season. About time you took our place down there.

Rew is the key as he’s an unknown over here. All rests on whether he sinks or swims for me. If he struggles then you could well be right. Let’s see who the last rider(s) is first though.

I'm picturing Rew to be similar to how Lidsey was during his first spell with the Aces. He could prove me wrong, and tbh I hope he does. Seems like a good prospect and we need to get more of the new, young blood over here especially from Europe!

Difficult to see a team spearheaded by Doyle finishing bottom unless his average drops dramatically which is highly unlikely.

One person can only score a maximum of 15 (18) points in one meeting. Only works if you have backup from the other 6. After seeing how everyone has improved their squads for next season, I find it difficult to see Ipswich maintaining last season's performances.

But he lacks support. It’s strange because Hawkins was saying a few weeks back after the season ended that although we did well in the table, he wasn’t entirely convinced particularly at home because we were scraping home with a number of last heat deciders. And yet we now seem to be building in exactly the same way!

We have to wait for the final two signings of course because things may have changed there, but it’s currently looking much like the same. Won’t win many aggregate bonus points and certainly doesn’t look capable of winning a title over two legs if the team is completed as expected. 
 

Every rider signed so far looks to have an average that looks just about right. Riss and Worrall are 6 pointers, King’s average looks just about right now as well, as does Ritchie Worrall. Where are the big improvers coming from? At Lynn you have two in Jakobsen and Pickering who immediately look capable of adding a point minimum, we don’t have any so far.

Leaves 6.12 for the final rider. Puts to bed the Emil and Holder guff too.

No Emil then with the signing of Riss. Won’t fit now or will he???

Not once Worrall is confirmed no. Ritchie Worrall is in. 

We've all seen the sort of gerrymandering that goes on - perhaps its now the turn of the Witches

Emil reassessed to 6?? ;):D

Wow.  ..Massively deflating, all remains now is Batchelor and Heeps and Hawkins and Louis have all there mates.

I am going to build a Title winning side Louis said, mugged us all again.

It has 7th place written all over it, hope I'm wrong and he has plucked something out of the bag, would Adam Ellis fit if 6th rider is Richie Worrall.
