Tai Woffinden SGP 2025
Hackett replied to KIRKYLANE's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
A fan of Tai of what he brings to the sport and also that he is outspoken enough to say it like it is. However with only 4 wildcards I think he will miss out. Doyle should be a certainty to get one he was more than competitive at the start of the season. Other Wildcards will be dependent on who qualifies in the challenge. Hopefully Lebedev wins the SEC to guarantee his spot which then would mean Madsen will need a Wild Card. Did anybody note Artem Laguta's IG feed with a photo of him lifting the World Championship with "Great memories - Maybe one day I'll be back π " Perhaps there are discussions in the background to bring him back in 2025 -
Tend to look at Total riders points or rider match ups Wozniak 2+ he usually has one good ride. Zmarzlik under 11 Nilsson 3+ hoping that he gets a dominant inside gate and picks up points #gatingtart Kvech 3+ usually has one decent ride. Holder under 9 has been out of form in the SGP recently Lebedev 7+ big ask but has every chance. Gone for Thomsen e/w 16/1

I am sure Louis touched on the point of taking the inside gates in a Final and not offering the inside gate to Zmarzlik or Lindgren who are likely to make the most of the advantage. Especially when the track is graded before the Semi-Finals and Final which can take any advantage of Gate 4. Plus Gate 3 tends to be the Graveyard Gate. Hopefully Lambert is saving his Torun form for the last SGP.

Ipswich vs Leicester play off Semi-final 9th Sept
Hackett replied to ShanoXtra's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Surely Hawkins meant it was a pain in the arse being without Emil. -
Time to sack Phil Morris?
Hackett replied to RoundTheBoards's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I follow American Football and Phil means College Football , not the NFL which is decided on the teams record W-L-D The College Football Playoffs are selected by a committee rather than by a simple win-loss record because college football teams play such different schedules. The committee, made up of athletic directors and former coaches and players, ranks the teams based on their play on the field and considers conference championships, strength of schedule, head-to-head competition and comparative outcomes of common opponents. Florida State were controversially excluded from the play-offs despite going 13-0 through the season. They lost their QB through injury and the committee decided not to include them in the play-offs. Many believe that the Broadcasters were influential as a team with greater support / following would of missed out and Florida State without their star player would not of been competitive. -
No great surprise, He said in interview it is the worst injury he has had and he has proved humans can't bounce a number of times now. Hope to see him back in 2025 fully fit and raring to go.

If a rider qualifies then they deserve the SGP spot. If Brennan get a SGP place and qualifies, he has as much right as any other rider. Although I imagine there are plenty of riders with more Prague experience but if you can put 5 starts together on that track you have every chance.

Sheffield vs Ipswich 2024 Cup Final Sept 2nd
Hackett replied to ShanoXtra's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Can't see the Tigers losing that lead at Foxhall. As much as Brennan + Lidsey tried they are never going to score what Emil + Doyley would. Ellis just back from injury it was always going to be a tough ask Holder Full Maximum 18 and Pickering 17+1 Paid maximum says it all. Throw in Chris Holder 10 points and 45+2 between 3 riders. -
Ipswich Witches 2024 serious team predictions

A verbal commitment with a club that can't guarantee it will be running. -
Wroclaw GP Saturday 31st August
Hackett replied to racers and royals's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Decent enough meeting tonight. Vaculik deserved the win. Another decent effort from Lambert who unfortunately missed his chance with the roll in the Final but another podium. Zmarzlik unlucky in the semi final but missing the Final saves the FIM having to ban him for a Kevlar infringement π²π in order to keep it close. Lindgren made some brave moves in the dirt on the outside. Onto Riga next which may suit Lebedevs. Hopefully some E/W value on him next week. -
Could see Ipswich being tempted with Brennan. He has announced that he has signed for remainder of 2024 season. Could be a live audition for '25 if Emil + Doyley return could come in for King possibly.

Petty decent night betting on the SGP On Bet365 riders points Huckenbeck 3+ Lebedevs 6+ Dudek +7 Janowski +7 Madsen under 10 Then Dudek vs Kubera and had Vaculik vs Lindgren Missed out on Holder and Kvech points return. Didn't back a rider to win too many tabs open trying to get Oasis tickets.,

Ipswich Witches 2024 serious team predictions
Hackett replied to SuperStarsFan91's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Good for Tommy Brennan to get a couple more rides this season. I imagine that this is an audition for a team spot for the Witches in 2025. -
Wroclaw GP Saturday 31st August
Hackett replied to racers and royals's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Might have a little e/w option on Dudek and possibly Madsen who did ok in he league meeting. -
With current placings in the SGP will Holder and Lambert bother with the SGP Challenge ??? Hope Lebedev's qualifies as he has been good entertainment in the SGP series and is unlikely to get a Wild Card spot as on Monster will have only 4 picks. π²π

Oxford vs Leicester 29/08/2024 PL R2
Hackett replied to IainB's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Can see the the Lions nicking this if any of the Oxford team are off the pace. With Masters, Fricke, Lawson and Douglas , if the Lions can get Cook or Hagon making a decent contribution at reserve could be a close meeting. LAst heat decider anybody ?? -
Kings Lynn v Sheffield 29/8/24
Hackett replied to Manifesto's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Tigers will need Pickering to continue his fine form and the Holder brothers to both get in the points. Edwards has been improving this season but Anders Rowe has got better as the season has gone on. Think the Tigers can keep it relatively close but Stars win at home. -
Belle Vue V Sheffield - Mon 26th @ noon
Hackett replied to GeneralMelchett's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Good to hear a decent crowd for todays meeting. -
Sounds as though the speedway team will be going to the dogs in "25. Greyhounds dont't know if they will be running and Speedway will only run if greyhounds do. Doesn't sound promising. Can the Brummies beat the Ipswich Tru7 Guest Witches tonight ??
