INCOGNITO 357 Posted January 1, 2014 The 2013 team was not too expensive to build but the main reason Brummies were in the mix was the form of Jason Doyle and the vast improvement of Martin Smolinski who was at reserve and up to #1 The problem this year is to find riders that will improve again but that is hard to find and another problem is finding a 5th rider who will ride full time. Maybe a new 5.00 rider and Skornicki is the sensible choices. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crazy robin 2,968 Posted January 1, 2014 I've a strong feeling that Eddie Kennett will do a Smolinski in 2014 and be the Brummies Trump Card Not a chance as at least Smolinski won important races late in meetings unlike Eddie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,831 Posted January 1, 2014 Not a chance as at least Smolinski won important races late in meetings unlike Eddie. Although he went missing in the play offs. Must have had a touch of the Kenneth Bjerre`s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T.N.T. 355 Posted January 1, 2014 I've a strong feeling that Eddie Kennett will do a Smolinski in 2014 and be the Brummies Trump Card Chris - Next time add more coke to your Jack Daniels as it's throwing your mind !! 2015 Speedway Grand Prix Series #15 Edward Kennett Remember Smolinski had a 9 meeting spell (27 heat wins) at reserve to start the season scoring 118 points (13.11 per meeting). In the other 21 meetings (18 heat wins) he scored 143 points (6.81 per meeting) ..... Eddie won't be at reserve .... wont get 13+ points a meeting ...... won't be riding abroad but just at Rye House earning easy money. At present there are no real contenders for the wooden spoon and those that may look weaker could easily be dark horses. The last two places could make Brummies that again ...... but can't see Eddie getting over a 7.50 average. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ColinMills 1,728 Posted January 1, 2014 think they be some real weird averages come October , anyone having a good yr in a diluted league could be hard to employ in 2015 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
