Somerset 2017

[Starman2006 2,355]

Good luck with your new team .

 

I look forward to seeing the names on Dec 6

You will see them late Dec 5th. somebody will have them on here.

[EnglishRoundabout 1,752]

1. Holder

2. Starke

3. Wright

4. Allen

5. Tungate

6. Wilson-Dean

7. Wajtknecht

 

If that fits that would be a competitive side in my opinion. Retaining 6 of the team from last year (amazing in itself) and including 4 Somerset assets.

 

Difficult to beat at the OTA and may sneak a few points away from home.

Retaining 6 riders from the previous season when they were in a lower league - how poor is that? Edited November 27, 2016 by Steve0

Good team.

 

*Will*

Bless poor Steve0.. :rofl:

[Starman2006 2,355]

 

 

 

I'm not trying to wind Steve0 up. I actually think its a good team.

 

C. Holder - Out and out No.1

 

P. Starke and C. Wright - Lots of top flight experience.

 

J. Allen and B. Wilson-Dean - Big futures and will up their averages for sure.

 

R. Tungate - Will hold his own imo.

 

Zach is the only worry in the side.

Won't get beat much at home. Appart from when Poole visit...

The team total was around 47 in last years PL so using Holder at 1 in place of Josh G is the 3 point swing to the new 2017.

 

That is the reality of what the league is this year - just a touch above last years PL.

 

Generally if you replace a No7 in the new Championship with a 'top' No1 you will have a Premiership side.

But if you compared this to say the rumoured Poole team.

1. KK= slightly worse the Holder yes, but still and out and out number 1 in the league. Probs be 3rd in averages behind Doyle and Holder

2. J.Holder= u21 4th place better than Starke and Wright

3. Kurtz= See above and should have much better year.

4, Newman= If he doesn't get injured could finally make the jump to that garrity type level

5. Hans= Will have Tungate on toast, Tungate nowhere near the same level

6. Klindt= Will be top reserve in the league if he does sign for us

7. Shanes= will give his all and improve and like Kyle riding for Boyhood club so will raise his level a little bit more. But yes still a slight worry.

Good team apart from the 3 Aussies!

Swindon v Poole this year, Tungate scored 13, Andersen 9 & Tungate beat Andersen in both of their races.

dont think it would be any good having zach back as he did not score that well in premier,last year,higher league would not be any better I don't think,hope I'm wrong as I like the lad.

Which just goes to show, averages are only an equaliser to a certain extent, but nothing compares with having a large budget.

Maybe so, but Allen, Wilson-Dean, Starke and Zach have bundles of improvement in them. Tungate should hold his own and should Holder arrive in Somerset, apart from being a massive crowd puller, I fancy him to put a point on his average.

What so he will average 13 a meeting??? That makes sense!!!
