Potential top 4 material.

 

As we at Lakeside well know, injuries play their part many times in a season so nothing is a given.

 

Would be special to win the title with an (almost) all British team though.

I have took these figures from the final averages sheets from the 3 leagues

 

Morris.................................................................8.72 CL

Lawson...............................................................8.65 CL

Newman..............................................................6.10 CL

Clegg...................................................................4.15 CL

Ellis...........................5.56 PL x 1.3 conversion = 7.23 CL

Wajtknecht................3.21 PL x 1.3 conversion = 4.17 CL

Morley.........................9.49 NL only so new rider 2.00 CL

 

That is my take on it & it is well under on 41.02 even without the reductions for British riders having ridden in the NL for 3 years.

With 1.5 points to play with, there must be some discrepancies there.

Morley isnt fresh to the upper leagues.

 

He has previous average from both divisions outside the NL and a 2017 Premiership figure of 3.29

Any advance on 3.85 before the hammer goes down (pun intended)

Last two, I think.

Wajtknecht 3.00, Morley 3.85?

So if we are being honest nobody really knows for sure do they? ;)

Absolutely right!!

 

Because the regs and conversion rate for 2018 havent been confirmed anywhere officially.

 

I would hope your promotion have the right info but then they tried to sign Scott and Kennett and didnt know they couldnt so.....

I think they was both in the team Cook wanted before the agm when he said about having all British line up. I would guess they knew after the agm like everyone else so we got Morris, its worked out better for us anyway but I do hope the rule is changed for them both to get a ride in the championship.

If my understanding is correct (Which it probably isn't) Lakeside's team doesn't fit???

 

1. Nick Morris 8.72

2. Max Clegg 4.15

3. Adam Ellis 7.23 (Converted PL to CL average)

4. Kyle Newman 6.10

5. Richard Lawson 8.65

6. Ben Morley 3.85

7. Zach Wajtknecht 4.07 (Converted PL to CL average - 2.5% reduction, this is how Shane's average for Sheffield has been worked out)

Total: 42.77

 

Someone tell me where I've gone wrong, because I'm sure it's me that's wrong and not the Lakeside promotion

Ritchie Hawkins was asked via Twitter to confirm the conversion multiplier....

 

1.3

 

So Zach W should be 4.07 and Morley 4.17 (assuming 2.5% Brit reductions)
