It’s a huge risk! Although saying that Anders Rowe is really going places next season. Edited 2 hours ago by Hooky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have every faith Rowe would be an improvement on Howarth too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Not trashing the team here as I think it's a decent 1-7 but not a great one despite the power trio still being involved. Does anyone else think rider influence has played a part here? as well as Steady playing favourites because I don't think Sheffield would take such a risk by having half a teams worth of 2024 rising stars in the side. Something like the Holder's not wanting to be split up to a point where it's both of them or none at all as well as Steady not wanting to cut ties with Team GB's Woffinden. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spin king junior Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Hope I'm proved wrong, but I feel Leon is a poor fit for Sheffield. Never seemed to have gone particularly well round Owlerton and haven't seen much improvement in last few years. Feels a bit of a make or break season for the lad, and hopefully we'll see some improvement and reap the rewards of his previous expirence.

I don’t think the Holders would say something like that they’d both still be living in Dorset together. IF the rumoured 7 is correct, I think the management and Steady have recognised the risk but also the reward of having the strongest top 4 in the league. Huge pressure on the 3 young Brit’s but one of them if not 2 will need to step up and support them 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Third Man Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Last night Peter Mole said he was happy with the new signing, without naming him, and said Sheffield thought they could improve him. Lets wait and see if he was right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doyle Emil Brennan and Ellis similar Rew will do better than Rowe Dan T and Jenkins are better than Gilkes and Flint It’s an ok Sheffield side and will make the play offs but doesn’t look like a championship winning one ….. Then again anything can happen in speedway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted 47 minutes ago Report Share Posted 47 minutes ago If that is the Sheffield team I think it’s there to be got at. I don’t think anybody expected Chris Holder to do quite as well as he has. He was undoubtedly on a downward curve in his career but seems to have had an Indian summer and sparked back in to life. For that reason I personally think he’s more than maxed out his average and it looks a tad expensive to me. To a lesser extent, I think Woffinden also done a little better than expected. I think both their averages will drop off slightly, add that to a long tail and I don’t think it’s quite there to be winning anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted 33 minutes ago Report Share Posted 33 minutes ago If the Team GB boss cant get a tune out of Flint then nobody will. Like a fellow forum member has said, Make or break season coming up for Leon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flint still waiting for breakthrough season.Will need better equipment and someone to sort out setup issues he seems to struggle with IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
