Scunthorpe won't be that far down think they'll surprise a few people

Like last season 

[HGould 2,213]

1) Glasgow (Basso and Brennan could be 2 of the biggest upwardly mobile movers all season)
2) Leicester (strong 1-7 and one of the Twins will be at reserve all season)
3) Poole (weaker at reserve than some - Kemp seems to have flatlined -)
4) Redcar (dark horses for me strong all through and underrated improving reserves)
5) Oxford (solid if they all click - will have to see what home advantage they have if any)
6) Plymouth (4 heat leaders if Kennett delivers and 2 improving reserves - reliant on a few staying fit)
7) Scunthorpe (very strong at home very vulnerable away)
8) Berwick (solid at home vulnerable away)
9) Edinburgh (not as strong as 2021 home form should be solid)
10) Birmingham (I don't believe Ellis will be available most of the time and without him will struggle)
11) Newcastle (will surprise a few at home and certainly wont be whipping boys at Byker)

Ref to Kemp, he looked impressive Wednesday, perhaps now he's at Poole he might kick on

Yep he certainly seemed to have flatlined against Premiership Panthers on Wednesday!! - Not!!  7+1 beating Ostergaard and MPT too!

Has certainly started well for Wolves and Poole. Be interesting to see if he can push one of the Cook brothers down to reserve!

Not objecting, but I would be interested in your reasoning in Birmingham 6th as no one else has them near a play off place.

I think and hope he'll have a breakthrough year with two new clubs, however the comment is valid based on last season ie competitive fixtures, not sure warm up meetings are an accurate barometer for any rider.

Top 2 are ok, both should average above 8. Expected Auty & Nielsen to average (6-7) as back up. Morris & Shanes (5.5) so would always have a good reserve, with a promising Pearson at 7, who seems the most likely of all the 4.00 newcomers to reach his ave.
