Sheffield 2027

[InTheDeepStuff]

What team would Tigers fans like to see if their kevlars for the 2027 season?  Think a couple of the play off legs have shown a few changes needed on top of the new team structure, 40 points team building with 1 x u21 from anywhere who can ride in any race number 1-6 and 1 x Rising Star with a Premiership average of under 3.5

If I was to be tempted back to going to Sheffield would love a team with a lot of racers not just gaters (have to have one though with Holder snr) 

1 J Holder 8.75

2 A Bednar 5.00

3 C Holder 7.25

4 L Flint 5.98

5 R Lambert 7.62

6 K Howarth 4.63 (if un retires)

7 J Mulford R/S

Any news on Jack is his hand injury making better progress ?

I don't see much change at the Tigers, I think Picko is going to be Sheffield's version of Danny King where he'll always be in the 1-7 even if fans are split on it.

 

1. J. Holder

2. ?

3. C. Holder

4. L. Flint

5. J. Pickering

There was an interview with him maybe 10 days ago saying he’d had surgery at end of September and noticed more improvement in that short period than he had done in all the time since the accident, believe he said the nerve had become tangled so been released, hopefully he can now move forward with his recovery plans

If the rumoured two under 21's at reserve is true that would rule out Howarth.

I’m not sure Chris Holder has any value with that average, I’d move on Rowe, Chris and Picko on from this years top 5, know sourcing two heat leaders is easier said than done though

Could just swap 2 and 6 around for that team to hypothetically work

Fantastic news would have been an absolute tragedy if the lads career was cut short as he's entering his prime.

Personally think we need some big changes next season. Would prefer to see at least C Holder and Flint defintely go, only have Rowe and Etheridge back if we need to make up the team and then bring back Picko, Jack and Killeen (if rs continues)

 

Bit difficult to start planning until we know what the team building averages will be for next season, but im hoping we dont try to keep together a similar line up thst just hasnt worked.
