Mattfordfan 286 Posted November 25, 2017 Is that the same Scunthorpe side that have signed 5 riders and have only 7.54 left for 2 riders? Yep 5.43 2nd tier average. You should know that being an Ippo fan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beowulf 1,513 Posted November 26, 2017 Greaves on Twitter has just said that he could have something great to announce later. Hopefully he will be confirmed as our no7. Whilst I would like to see Greaves back in the team (he did well last year), we really should build top down and not bottom up. Due to the stupid 8 point rule, we need, sadly, to resolve the Lindgren/Thorssell problem first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Greaves would make a great number 7 but the top end I agree is way more important to sort first and foremost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wolfsbane 12,944 Posted November 26, 2017 Sadly for Jacob there really is only one option there if Fred wishes to return. It's happened before with Sam, Ronnie & PK, but they all returned. Damned unfortunate for Thorssell but, being brutal, regaining his fitness/mojo elsewhere isn't the worst thing for Wolves as a club. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yampy 20 Posted November 26, 2017 (edited) Will be interesting to see what, if anything Pete Adams gives away tomorrow. I thought Rory Schlein was excellent last year but if you went with a top 3 of Freddie, Rory and Sam Masters and the same reserves it leaves 10.34 for 2 and 4. Basically, for that top three it probably means losing Kyle and Mark Riss for potentially weaker riders.... Edited November 26, 2017 by Yampy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
INCOGNITO 357 Posted November 27, 2017 Freddie is the obvious choice as number one and with Sam Masters 7.92 and Rory Schlein 7.72 you have two of the best back up riders you can get under the eight average, so that should be the strongest trio next season on paper. The fact that Kyle virtually averaged the same home as away and including bonus points nearly averaged the same as Sam, on 6.64 he has to be included to make a strong top four. Obviously that means the bottom three have to be either bargains or riders that can improve and hold down a number two position while also holding their own at reserve. With just 10.93 left and using Nathan Greaves 2.54 at seven leaves 8.39 for the other two positions and going on the fact you don't want Nathan to be the better of the two reserves, rules out also adding a 2.00 riders to then form a strong top five. Luke Becker and Broc Nicol at 2 and 6 could be one option and both should feel more at home around Monmore than anywhere else but while you get potential, you also get inexperience Thomas H Jonasson 4.64 would be a bargain and alongside Freddie should make a decent pairing but I'm sure others will be contacting him with that average and wouldn't be surprised to see him on the south coast and would only leave enough for Ellis Perks or Max Clegg. However not including Nathan could give you enough for Nicol and a 2.00 1 Fredrik Lindgren 2 3 Kyle Howarth 4 Rory Schlein 5 Sam Masters 6 7 Becker, Nicol and Greaves THJ or Starke 5.08, Clegg or Perks and Greaves Lasse Bjerre or Patrick Hoogaard plus Greaves and 2.00 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
