Is that supposed to be funny? You are a strange one.

After the delight of seeing such a promising looking Rebels side announced last Thursday, thought I'd drop in to the forum to share the hopes and dreams of fellow Somerset fans and well wishers for the coming season...... Then I see jenga's name on the last post....many of the posts have at least two of the seven deadly sins.... Well done the Somerset management on assembling another exciting line up!

Olly Allen despite being released by the Rebels States exactly that. Says 2014 season was one of his happiest.

1. Josh 2. Wrighty 3. Brady 4. Holder 5. Worrall 6. Starke 7. Greenwood. Not too shabby. Will take some beating around the OTA.

Making the play off final every year ensures he can easily be afforded thanks.

Ok bottom half. Still hopelessly pessimistic so early on in the close season.

Wrighty is a strong signing if it's true. Can't see him putting much on his average next season, but if he maintains it and continues his superb form at home then I'm happy.

Bottom of the table prediction after one possibly two signings in December? Cup half empty then?

Think Clffeboy means his prediction this time last year barncooseboy

I met Ulrich last season at Somerset. Thoroughly decent bloke. Fanatical Manchester United fan too!

And he will be ready for it in my opinion.

18 last September.

When Matt Ford was interviewed he indicated he would be.

Love it when he comes to Somerset. The pantomime villain. Always controversial and good entertainment.

Can't see Garry May selecting a journeyman like Richard Hall. In releasing both Allen and Morris I am sure there is an inspired signing around the corner. Certainly Matt Ford indicated there would be!

Olly had originally stated before last season started that this would be his last year. However, during the play offs he stated his enthusiasm for the sport had been rekindled after the season he has had with the Rebels.

Pontus is at that awkward average where he will be difficult to fit in. With the points limit in the PL remaining the same, I reckon the Rebels will lose both Pontus and Olly, meaning they will keep Nick Morris, Todd and Brady Kurtz, Paul Starke. Be prepared for some surprises for the remaining places.

Thanks for your grown up post.

Think I can beat that! When I was a youngster I was so keen to know how the Robins performed on the Saturday night at Bellevue, I actually phoned Martin Ashby on his home phone number (which was in the telephone directory) on the Sunday morning. Martin himself answered the phone and kindly gave me a run down of the scorers! A true gent was the Robins skipper.

Well said. Not sure how they do it. Wind, rain, dark and cold. Cheers guys.

Olly Allen deservedly rider of the year in my opinion. Unfortunate with several knocks and minor injuries throughout the season, but played a captains role and helped to foster an excellent team spirit. This was to be Olly's last season, but his form and enthusiasm for the sport has returned. He dialled in to the OTA and at times looked unbeatable there. Not sure if he can be fitted in next season but I for one would like to see him back.

Kyle Newman will be at Plymouth next season. He's been offered the captaincy too.

And Davey Watt.
