Surprised we have had to mention of Laguta on this thread 🤪

I agree with you and think the scoring potential is better and there would be 0.01 to spare if BV went with Cook and Vuolas. I guess Vuolas and Zischke would end up yo-yoing between main body and reserve if that were the case. It would leave Blodorn out in the cold, but imagine someone would take him fairly promptly.

I think that all makes a lot of sense... Like last year, the big mystery of the winter will be who can Birmingham get in at 1 & 5.

Surely on his current average, Oxford will be working overtime to keep Magic?

Fantastic news to get Jenkins... Him and Thompson at reserve will be super solid!

I'm thrilled Ipswich have got Jenkins... great news!

Oh that is 100% the team we should go for… but can’t help thinking that we will keep King again

There is of course a different route Ipswich could go… if there is no Emil and King stays (as I suspect he will). Doyle, King, Brennan, Rew, Kvech, Ellis + RS… fits in a 40 limit Still got the muscle of Doyle in 13 & 15 and a rock solid reserve all season… something to ponder maybe?

Someone should snap him up in my opinion... gaining experience all the time and probably a better option than others out there

Good point, hadn't thought of it like that before. For me, I think Ellis is still on a bit of a false average after a couple of injuries disrupted his season, plus he has about 10 years on King. Ellis could easily up his average in 25, King will do well to maintain his I think... so if it came to a choice I would opt for Ellis, but totally get your point

As much as I want to see Brennan at Ipswich next season, I think this could be bang on the money.

With the 3 heat leaders you have got a tricky decision to make to omit one! Great position to be in of course. One thought... Will another club look to make a statement signing and throw money at Woffinden perhaps? Might make the decision for the Tigers?

British Speedway as recently as half hour ago promoting the meeting on Facebook… Surely it’ll end up being follow the leader - if you can see anything!?

Also if management are logical, they will recognise that Brennan's career trajectory is likely going in the opposite direction to King's...

So thinking of some different scenarios... 1. If it's a 40 point limit then you could put the following together with room to spare... Doyle, Emil, Rew, Ellis, Brennan, Dan T (with 25% reduction) + an RS 2. If it's 39 points, then to get Brennan in (which I think a lot of people want, me included) you would need to lose Rew or Ellis, which would be a shame, but something would have to give. 3. If management do what they tend to do each season and retain King (which we all know is still a strong possibility), then he fits into the team in point 1 above even with a 39 point limit (in place of Brennan).

Good point... Look forward to seeing what happens Thursday... Glad I'm a neutral for this one 😀

Don’t think 12 points will be enough for the Aces. Holders and Pickering very consistent round Owlerton… it’s theirs to lose in my opinion

Totally agree… Captain Doyle is definitely the way to go!

Everyone can see that keeping the majority of the team is perfect, with Brennan slotting in for King… however this crops up every year and I fear Ellis or Rew will be sacrificed to give King his spot…

Jeez I knew Kurtz has been racking the points up, but that is a seriously impressive average!

Witches Release: King if they can get Jenkins classified as an RS again then I’d keep him, otherwise release too

I imagine Kvech will be well in demand… would 100% have him at Ipswich… would like to see us running with this or similar Doyle (c) Rew Brennan/Kvech (think current averages might just mean Kvech a no go) Ellis Sayfutdinov D Thompson (with 25% reduction) RS tbc

Even if Toruń lose the semi, won’t he still be expected to turn out in the 3rd place playoff? Honestly don’t know… putting it out there?

Definitely… Lublin have a stacked team!

You are right, but wonder if the ‘commercial’ decision making will come into it
