While I agree with your general point, I'd be interested to know what has made the biggest difference. Is it all of the additional fitness, psychology, etc., etc. or is it just the fact we now have 2 genuinely world class riders in an era where the top competition is a pairs one? Maybe the 2 go hand in hand, and Lambert and Bewley are where they are because of all the extras, but I think they'd probably be there regardless.  We've won 2 SoN titles since its inception (one which was a bit fortuitous). It's an improvement on the past but it's about what you'd expect with the riders we have.

I can see a top 5 finish for the Witches....   Unless Northampton make a late entry.

It's one of those teams that everyone has to be on it for it to win, and as we know from past experiences,, that doesn't happen as often as would like.. I see it winning 75 percent of home meetings and zero away, which to me means 5th, poss 4th at a push. Sorry for being negative towards this team, but that's just the way I see it  What interests me the most is if there is going to be a new track man,, and how they prepare the track

Laughably, we have seen the comments from some riders, who DU, that if they couldn't, they would have to retire... What happens come the inevitable day when they do retire, or heaven forbid, get career ending injuries... I presume the sport in the UK must cease to exist at that very moment, given the desperation, and panic, in trying to run a top tier with enough spaces to allow riders to DU... And still hardly any of the top two leagues' teams are doing anything to make a surplus of UK talent to meet the demand needed over the next decade, as "two job riders" leave the sport.. You can only presume that this is due to most tracks being quite content with their lot, and a major part of this being that sharing rider costs with another team works perfectly for both of them.... For now...

Solid looking team all things considered, potential for average improvement in Brennan Musielak and hellstrom, if he drops to reserve Scotty will continue pick off easy points, Lawson and king will be solid and Edwards a good rising star

Can we do a bit of bribery. In the back pocket so to speak😂
