StevePark 2,781 Posted January 13, 2018 8 hours ago, New era Panthers said: Panthers can't fit both but could fit either with 13.76 left to fill 2 positions. Stating the obvious here, but they could fit them both in with a little re-shuffling. Whether they would want to do that, then that is a different matter.

Dandelion 775 Posted January 13, 2018 I'm guessing... If we get Nicholls 1. Scott Nicholls 9.72 2. Tero Aarnio 5.02 3. Lewis Rose 6.49 4. Ludvig Lindgren 7.21 5. Stuart Robson 7.02 6. Ashley Morris 4.88 7. Alfie Bowtell 2.14 Total: 42.48 And have Josh at 8... Would also have Robson as captain, and this team would always mean that we would have a very strong reserve in Aarnio or Ashley, and we'd have a pretty solid top 4, as I'd see Lewis upping his average and Robson, Ludvig and Nicholls (just about) maintaining theirs... Maybe dropping or adding a little bit, but them staying similar... Also Alfie would be one of the better young British number 7s in the league 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Highly unlikely , maybe would have to lose 2 of the 5 already signed to accommodate both of them so very slim chance of that happening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're right, that's no where near enough of a reshuffle before the season even starts for the Panther's promotion At least 4 of the 5 need to go I think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can’t recall how many years the British lads get them these days I thought it was 3, and Ellis and Ashley have done more than 3 years and I've already factored in Alfie's reduction (It is 2.5%, right?)

That's it from me. I won't hold my breath. Even if he did he would probably only pick up two or three in the next Away Match. I'm sorry if folk don't like that - but history suggests that I am right. thank that man someone who agrees rather have a good team man like robbo who scores 8 to 10 home and away and for me defo a captain this season lindgren not a chance never make a captain as long as he,s got a beep in his back beep Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arson fire 4,785 Posted January 13, 2018 Lindgren would survive a nuclear war!!!! Lets hope he finally pushes on. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ruffdiamond 6,115 Posted January 13, 2018 It would be good to have Robbo and Ludde in the team, their not the best gaters but,,, with the relaxed starting rules they might do even better and some gating tarts might get found out. (James Seargant to double his average this season.) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They, at least, did some positive tampering to improve the Sport this year - axed the ridiculous Double Points Rule. I wonder how long the current Rule Book will last.................................. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How about Bradley Wilson Dean and one of those 5.20 under assessed foreign riders instead? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
