Oh. let's have a go...


Felix - improving his OH (and general techniques) all of the time
Hollands - don't know too much recent info but his record speaks for itself
Thompson - no obvious weaknesses
Westerby - so much all round strength
Slater - could be the dark horse, a real animal
Marku - obvious static power
Loz - inspirational at the qualifiers
Sadler - tons of experience

Just missing out?

Hughes
Innes
Redwood
Gorvin
Meer
This could go on and on.....

We've got more strength in depth than maybe any other country in the world :woohoo

Who else is gonna stick their neck on the line?

This year I am going for :-

1st Felix
2nd Hollands
3rd Thompson (But if hes fully fit and back to his best then 1st place could beckon)
4th Westaby
5th Marku
6th Saddler

Its about time these guys started doing super series, I think this years BSM will be the best ever !

What a great group of competitors we have in this country.

Well, Felix and Hollands have done Super Series and Thompson was with IFSA before his injury, so I'm sure he could do Super Series in the future if he wanted to (or if he will go back to IFSA, if it still even exists?), but I agree some of those other guys would do well there too!

My top 8:

Felix
Hollands or
Thompson
Westaby
Marku
Sadler
Hughes

I've heard there are some very tough groups this year
One group is
Loz
Jamie Redwood
Dave Meer
Oli
+ one other

And there's a harder group containing
Felix
Jay
Jimmy
Darren

Not sure about the voracity of the second group, as this is what I've heard on the grape vine.

My top 3 are
Terry
Loz
Oli

Is that true about Eddy Ellwood ?

I heard he had retired, not sure he could mix it with the Terry and the boys anymore.
