TTT Posted November 18 Report Share Posted November 18 (edited) It's really not a bad team, It's a decent solid 1-7 imo. It's just other teams rumoured 1-7's are making Leicester's look average on paper but as we all know Speedway isn't ridden on paper.

I have to agree it doesn't look a bad team, but the fact it's clearly weaker than this years team, probably makes it look worse than it is. Especially with Ipswich getting stronger. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishersGate Posted November 18 Report Share Posted November 18 Even thought we are weaker at 2 with lawson departing for Howarth. Lets not forget how good Howarth was at when he was in the Championship at Leicester. Yes it's a different league but Stewart commented on the Lions website stating Kyle will get plenty of practice laps in before the season starts and during. He can ride the track well once he gets going. If cook does sign then it is an upgrade on Kemp who started the season with us. Again it's a risk but with Stewart working with him at Berwick you would like to think he can be a decent point scorer like Kyle if he gets dialled in. So really the team hasn't changed much. It really all depends on how Kyle, Craig and Luke all progress. If they can get better then the Lions should have another decent season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40-38 Posted November 18 Report Share Posted November 18 (edited) Howarth got 7 for Sheffield at Leicester whilst riding at no.2 which is the sort of score you'd expect a no.2 to get. Fricke is also a good team rider as shown by how well he rode with both Lawson last year and Sedgman the year before. Of course it's a downgrade of sorts and Lawson was by far the best Lions rider last year, but ultimately what cost us last year was 3-5 being so inconsistent. Masters and Douglas might be at their level now but Becker will be the key. If he can become the rider everyone thinks is there that could be a trump card. Also there's no guarantee that this years big improvers for other teams will continue to improve, so any team, even Ipswich, might not have it all their own way.

Same here but he seems to be a golden boy with the owner as Greg Hancock is mentoring William Cairns so he will have a place every season I’m guessing,normal circumstances he would and should have been the 1st rider out of the door.

I think it's fair to expect some improvement from Sam next season as well as the three you mention. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly Becker and Howarth would need better campaigns and Douglas to maintain his decent form of last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
