They are one away from completing their 2011 team.
Look like title contenders once again in my view, Wolbert, Tully,Cook, Katajisto will all improve their averages this year, young ashley morris is one for the future aswell, wethers could improve his average also.
Can't wait to see the Tigers take them on this season!

would be shocked if it isn't Willie Lawson.
Title contenders? not so sure. replacing Ryan Fisher with Craig Cook weakens them quite a bit IMO. As I've said before Ryan Fishers attitude can drive the whole team on when it matters. He will be a massive loss for them, much more than his on track points.
Wolbert averaged 8 from what is effectively a second string berth, will have to have a good season to put much on that from the number1 position. don't see vast improvements for Andrew Tully. Who knows with Katajisto. I've never really rated Cook that highly from what i've seen of him. Lawson is key, he coud add 3 points to his average if he signs.
You never with a slice of luck, which Edinburgh seem to have carried in recent seasons, anyone could win the league.

because of the 8 match reassessment he is on 4.19 from his 11 matches of last season. Much like we have benefited with Pijper & Henry.

Really looking forward to the derby matches next year. If the monarchs do as expected sign Willie to slot in at reserve then I seriously think the monarchs probably become 2nd favorites behind ippo for the title.
Also with your lot having their strongest team in 5+ years on what sounds like a very exciting new track I believe the tigers have a making of a top 6 team as well.
Fun times ahead!

If he can concentrate fully on speedway rather than anything else, then he should blow his 4pt average out the water.

Lawson has shown in the past the capability he has but i was shocked at how poor he had become last season, didn't want to mix it and seemed to be low on speed. Then again who knows what's going on when a riders form dips dramatically, could have been carrying an injury or what not
