KIRKYLANE 537 Posted November 22, 2017 Seems to me its a choice between Stevie W and Rohan ? Tough decision Zagar 7.48 Bates 5.52 Fricke 7.39 Worrall. 6.77 Cook. 8.45 Bewley 4.71 Smith 2.00 42.32. Would not touch Bates with a barge Pole... leave him at Sheffield Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

89buttons 751 Posted November 22, 2017 Would not touch Bates with a barge Pole... leave him at Sheffield Bates is very good at building speed on fast tracks, dont think hed take long to get dialled in at nss, would be a good rider for Belle Vue. Still think its a shame no one seems to be considering Jacobs....quality at the nss 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hyderd 1,216 Posted November 23, 2017 Regarding Joe , with Dan Bewley and Jack Smith almost certain starters in 2018 , It would be difficult to fit Joe in and retain a strong line up , Got to agree with you, apart from 1 aces fan that I can think off, the rest of us took to Joe, his improvement was great, but sadly he couldn't match it away from the NSS. This would cost the team to many lost points away from home in 2018, points the rest of the team would find hard to find. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil The Ace 2,860 Posted November 23, 2017 (edited) A bit of a left field team Cook 8.45 Kerr 5.06 Fricke 7.43 Holder 7.16 Zagar 7.43 Bewley 4.71 Smith 2 Edited November 23, 2017 by Phil The Ace 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Many of his home performances were brilliant last season and the way he scored his points was equally as good. Haven't seen a better potential line up than Aces 51's and that must be a very real possibility. Edited November 23, 2017 by Halifaxtiger 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SomersetBlue 212 Posted November 23, 2017 Does the 2.5% reduction still apply for Bewley and Smith? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mattfordfan 286 Posted November 23, 2017 Think the BV side is fairly obvious. No place for Worrall as Tungate is dynamite around the NSS. 1. Cook 2. Zagar 3. Fricke 4. Tungate 5. L. Bjerre or Hougaard 6. Bewley 7. J. Smith 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheOpinion 16 Posted November 24, 2017 (edited) Zagar, Hougaard/Bjerre, Fricke, Tungate, Cook, Bewley and Smith looks a very strong team to me. Three strong heat leaders who all know the BV track better than most, two of which will be regular GP stars next year. Two solid second string riders, with one of them being consistently brilliant around the NSS. One very exciting reserve who is getting better and better. The only real uncertainty I guess is around Jack, and even he improved a lot towards the back end of last season. I think Zagar, Fricke, Tungate and even Bewley are all steals on their averages.

Mattfordfan 286 Posted November 24, 2017 I dont think those sides are great they could put together better sides than that. Agree that they could put a better side together but this is what they will have. Cook is BV through and through. Bewley isn't going anywhere, Tungate is dynamite around the NSS, Fricke will be staying due to the Mark Lemon connection. Leave 3 spots Need a No.7 are BV going to go for a new No.7 or will they stick with Smith who got better towards the end of the year. Obvious to me. Zagar wants a British return and he loves BV bargain buy imo especially after last season. Which leaves 1 spot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lasse Bjerre or Hougaard would be ideal for that last remaining spot , Aces would be hard pressed to put a much stronger team than that out if Im honest I dont think those sides are great they could put together better sides than that. Really ? , I don't think we could build a much stronger side than that , considering the rule changes Edited November 24, 2017 by WestGorton1884 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
