    Think its all down to the individual battles between opposite numbers. (Winner in bold)

     

    S. Worrall vs R. Wells (Think it will be close but Stevie will just edge it)

    J. Allen vs M. Ruml (First time visit for MR i think so Allen should score more, but Max may like Scunny and keep it close)

    J. Auty vs M. Riss (Again very close but Auty is always good around his home track and has that HL experience)

    S. Neilsen vs J. Andersson (Don't think Andersson will take all 4 programmed rides unless he happens to take to Scunny.)

    J. Garrity vs E. Riss (Riss to win this battle comfortably. Garrity will throw a fall in somewhere and Erik has started well.)

    D. Phillips vs M. Williamson (Matt looked quick at Glasgow last week and looks like a steal on that average. Id expect Phillips to struggle on previous times ive seen him.)

    G. Manzares vs J. Pickering (Depends if Gino can ride like he did last time he was here and which JP turns up.)

     

    Overall i think it will be a close battle, which the scorpions should just edge.

     

    Scorpions 48

    Monarchs 42.

    So going on the riders signed, I'm guessing we will line up intially as follows:

    1. Ricky Wells

    2. Max Ruml

    3. Mark Riss

    4. Joel Andersson

    5. Erik Riss

    6. Josh Pickering

    7. Matt Williamson

    Would also expect Erik to be named captain going by last season when Sam was missing, with Ricky getting the nod should ER be unavailable for any reason.

    So if this is the case. how was Haertel given his average? His PL one would be 3.84 x 1.3 =5? Where the 3.85 come from?

    As Andersson is a 5.2, that means any other u21 finalist should be the same....unless they havent represented their country in a SWC Final... then it should be less. ....:wink:

    Maybe the question we should be asking Is whether Haertel is definitely a 5.00, or have we all just assumed this due to previous rules?

    The Ipswich press release about him signing doesn't mention an average as far as i can see, and with the witches having 0.30 left (assuming MH is a 5.00) then its possible that he is maybe also on a 5.20?

    Would an American come in on a 5 point ave

     

    They would come under "Category 2 - Riders not riding in a professional league (Ie Denmark, Poland and Sweden)" so I don't see why not.

     

    Fox and Manzares were both 5.00 when they came over in recent times.

    1. Ricky Wells (8.85)
    2. LUKE BECKER (5.00)
    3. JUSTIN SEDGMEN (6.16)
    4. Mark Riss (5.68)
    5. Eric Riss (8.05)
    6. Josh Pickering (4.62)
    7. ROB BRANFORD (3.94) / JACOB BUKHAVE (4.00)

    Total: 42.30 / 42.36

    If we replaced BECKER with someone 4.91 or under (ASHLEY MORRIS 4.88 or MATT WILLIAMSON 4.85 for example) then THEO PIJPER (4.23) would slot in nicely at #7.

    Never understood their train of thinking for our No7 first it was Chessel who pulled out 27 yrs old, then Blacklock 27 yrs old then Paine 30 yrs old, all had been in the NL for 10 to 15 yrs and gone nowhere, so why in hells name sign them. I am sure the rule was made to bring on under 21s, it should have been made clear by the BSPA this was their intention, as usual never any clarity from them

     

    Payne only started speedway around 2013 or 1014, so only had 2/3 years NL experience before stepping up to ride for Redcar in the 2016 season.

    I would think these would be unrealistic, but hey its silly season haha!

     

    1. Sam Masters (8.57)

    2. Mason Campton (5.73)

    3. Ludvig Lindgren (7.21)

    4. Mark Riss (5.68)

    5. Thomas Jorgensen (7.10)

    6. Josh Pickering (4.62)

    7. James Sarjeant (3.33)

     

    TOTAL: 42.24

     

    Could also replace Campton and Lindgren with Sedgeman and Palm Toft and i think it will fit.

    Another awesome bit of PR by Edinburgh, we want Bewley but if that falls through we will take second best in Clegg as he will be waiting by the phone for us to ring.

    I wouldn't describe it Edinburgh PR in any way shape or form and the author is known to have made a few quotes up in the past to fill a column.

     

    if it is true, all Alex says he can't fit everyone in. And as far as I can see, he doesn't mention once that MC is plan B, and from reading the article the bit about the phone was from Max himself.

     

    would you rather a promoter made false promises to riders?
