kingbee 510 Posted November 17, 2013 I would go for Sunstrom Nicholls Hanson Harris Auty And one of Jacobs/Greenwood/Branford at reserve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JonHWeiner 95 Posted November 17, 2013 If this is true about 2 GB NL riders at EL reserve then the idea of 2 Storm riders doubling up for the Bees is very exciting. Did Mick Horton have a crystal ball when he started the Storm? Joe Jacobs for one would be great. The racing between him and Steve Boxall at Sittingbourne was very good.

kingbee 510 Posted November 17, 2013 My prediction. Not commenting on how good it will be, just that this is who I think we'll end up with. Larsen - 7.26 Sundstrom - 7.22 Harris - 6.82 Hansen - 5.83 Szczepaniak - 4.86 Total 31.99 Branford and Jacobs at reserve. cant see him paying for a pole?

G the Bee 639 Posted November 17, 2013 Larsen over Nicholls is a no-brainer for me. Larsen is still improving. Nicholls is sliding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacques 3,114 Posted November 17, 2013 There's a suggestion that the reserves will be allocated by the MC!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would rather have Danny King than Larsen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G the Bee 639 Posted November 17, 2013 So is Harris can't see him paying loan fees Scott could do well in a watered down league. Would rather have Danny King than Larsen Looks like we disagree on two points then! Scott might do well in a watered down league but Larsen is simply a better rider now (although he is coming back from a nasty injury so that has associated risks). If Nicholls is to do well in a watered down league, I would argue Larsen should do even better. King is 0.2 higher than Larsen which means neither Szczepaniak or Auty would fit as the last place in the 1-5 if we signed Danny King. The loan fee for Larsen would be off-set by a loan fee for Nicholls. Can't believe he wouldn't be snapped up somewhere. Still it's all good fun speculating. I suspect the actual 1-5 has already been sorted out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

G the Bee 639 Posted November 17, 2013 Posssibly they have just saw the piece on the Lakeside site says the reserves are going to be allocated ? Yes. Very strange. Simply cannot see how that is going to work. Especially as Lakeside seem to have 'bagged' top prospect Adam Ellis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mdmc82 2,878 Posted November 17, 2013 There's a suggestion that the reserves will be allocated by the MC!! thats what I have heard as well. if this is the case then very unfair on the teams that form nl teams and support them. we all know which team will be given the strongest ones. can only see NL riders beating each other and not top riders. what happens when using r/r as well, will make meet ins very one sided. what will happen to British riders such as Roynon, Robson, borks etc if not able to be at Reserve?
