The Observer 55 Posted December 31, 2017 1 hour ago, foreverblue said: Hans Andersen? Never imagined Hans ever wearing the kevlars of the Lions, but I'd settle for him if that's the case. He'd be an ideal 2nd heat leader. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hamish McRaker 601 Posted December 31, 2017 On 12/25/2017 at 4:41 PM, Big Al said: If the new calculator with big buttons which Santa brought me is working properly, I make it to be like this- If Sargeants average is 3.81, it leaves 7.15. If his average is 2.56, it leaves 8.40. This is based on Vaculik 8 and KP 6 as per Flagrag. In the case of it being 2.56, they could bring in Hans Andersen and swap Josh Bates for Lasse Bjerre if Josh really does have to quit speedway. If I'm wrong let me know and I'll send the calculator back!! Hans Andersen and Lasse Bjerre? You might have something there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poolebolton 464 Posted December 31, 2017 Think Hans would be great for you guys. Is a good team leader. And if KP gets used to the UK he will easily be your 2nd heat leader with the talent he has displayed. King as a 4th rider would be a huge advantage. And with Newman hopefully finally getting it all sorted really good go far. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lionsman66 7 Posted December 31, 2017 (edited) With that calibre of riders our lions are looking to make play offs quite comfortably barring injury Edited January 2, 2018 by Lionsman66 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beckettlion 195 Posted January 3, 2018 If Bates isn’t riding I hope the promotion would try and re-sign Nicolai Klindt. Similar average to Bates and has previously shown he could be a heat leader at Beaumont Park.. would be a good addition heard the final rider will be announced at some point within a week!

The Observer 55 Posted January 3, 2018 Great news about Josh, just have to hope he comes to tapes with a clear head. If Hans is the final rider then the Lions have a strong lineup 1-7, all we then need is confirmation of who'll be 2018 Team Manger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
