For me I would go with a team of Heatleaders Jack Holder Adam Ellis Tobiasz Musielak Holder and Ellis would form a formidable top 2, and Musielak I think would push up his average to around 8 points or just below. 2nd Strings Erik Riss Kyle Howarth Riss had a poor season and his average dipped, but I think a change of track will do him good and I think that he is more than capable of upping his average between 6.00 to 6.30. Impossible to think of Sheffield without Kyle, so I think that the club will go with him Reserve and Rising Star Jake Allen Reserve Connor Mountain or Danyon Hulme Jake Allen at reserve would give us that strong reserve that we lacked last season, also if or when his scores improve and if has to move up into the main body of the team, Kyle or Erik would move to reserve. Meaning we always have a strong reserve. The Rising Star I would take either of those two, I think that both can do a job, but I think that I would lean toward Connor, but would not be disappointed if Danyon got the spot. So my Sheffield line up would be. (1) Jack Holder (2) Erik Riss (3) Kyle Howarth (4) Tobiasz Musielak (5) Adam Ellis (6) Jake Allen (Rising Star) Connor Mountain or Danyon Hulme I'm sure Danyon Hume is too old to be a rising star in 2022 Edited November 23, 2021 by szkocjasid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not by other fans mainly by a Sheffield fan if you are talking about the debate about Ellis from what I have seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The rules seemed to be based around Josh Bates fitting in: Under 25, or less than 3 seasons experience Prem ave below 5.50 (Bates was 5.20) Champ ave below 6.50 (Bates was 6.35) Riders like Luke Crang, Greg Blair & Tom Bacon qualified to due experience not age. Bates, Hume & Bowtell all turn 25 before next season starts. Of course the rules could've been changed without telling the fans?
