I might have a bash at 2018 as well, although the robins might still be at the Abbey.

My money is still on KK

Please sign THJ, then we can see who leaves and gets bored first between him and KK

Didn't Darcy say the same? You can be sure if Chris wasn't part of Poole's plans he would ride elsewhere just like Darcy did with Swindon. You can see that surely? Not that I can't see him being part of Poole's plans so it really isn't a real issue.

that's my point, how can anyone make a prediction given only 2 teams are complete? ? unless we are playing guess the team guess the prediction. I might have a bash at 2017 in a bit just for fun. Time will tell.

Like how you sacked the underperforming Hans You mean? You know all about that with KK anyway

Might try a prediction of teams yet to sign half a team yet. Play offs Lakeside V Kings Lynn. Bottom - Leicester.

Of course not, that's why they sacked Piotr in 2014.

The lad is talented and extremely stylish, hopefully for the future I hope he keeps improving.

He was in the GP's last season so if course he should. Doesn't make him a good heat leader given his previous EL form. Feel free to prove me wrong with mind blowing stats of his illustrious EL career. I'll be sitting a long time waiting. Probably the most overrated rider in the last 10 years. Didn't disgrace himself in the GP's, really? ? 14th place and 40 points away from the top 8. Besides the odd decent ride he was a complete deadweight, as predicted. Wozniak looks decent, although we all know about 2nd season syndrome. Rider for rider I'd say lindgren easily over THJ. Bech over Wozniak whilst it's narrow between Walasek and Joonas. So yes more than happy with our 3 over that proposed 3. bearing in mind those 3 aren't signed so it's hardly a discussion worth continuing.

I can see why those 2 are bottom. Given they have yet to name a team between them!

Lambert is miles ahead of the rest but I certainly hope plenty follow Kyle abroad. Bout time they ditched the comfort of the EL for ambition. Watched Ellis all season at Brum and he was way too good to be in the NL. Reckon Poole will bring out the best in him which in turn is great news for his parent club Lakeside. I'm baffled tho why PL teams are queuing to sign him up.

Well done Kyle. Great to see a British youngster with ambition.

Great thread. Let's predict of the teams who are completed who will be top and bottom. TOP - Wolves BOTTOM - Coventry. May as well call it now I'd say. Roll on 2017.

I had the pleasure of watching one of the best EL riders of the past 15 years. And not sacked once!

In rider speak he hadn't been offered enough yet.

Perfect start for the Stars securing the signing of the next Big thing we have to offer. I can see a lot of teams going down the same route as Wolves with solid line ups unless the Chapmans have a surprise in store at the top end.

And here was me thinking I was being subtle!!

Not seen it mentioned (as is the case with most things BSPA related) but I hope they the reserves are both protected roles. Otherwise we will be making the same mistakes that the PL do by dropping youngsters for rubbish foreigners on low averages.

No idea what gives it away, I was trying to keep it under wraps!

I'd like Leicester to have that top 3 too. Don't think you could pick a worse top 3 if you tried! THJ always struggles in the EL and would easily be the worst of the supposed top riders.

Is someone finally going to start doing some digging?

That's it, keep telling yourself that and it might be true.Harris at least is reliable. Makes you wonder which kk you believe you will be getting This year's version who would struggle to outscore Josh Bates, the last Bees incarnation the one who was sacked or the decent one who did ok as a 2nd heat leader. Much rubbish has sailed under the bridge since he last had a decent season in the EL. Long may that reign.

Whereas Lindgren will lap KK if we are judging this season. Happy days.
