It's wrong (in my view) to think a club is going to win at this stage with most clubs having only completed a single league match - Sheffield will have much sterner tests than last night but they have certainly started well. Unless they sort out the R/R they may suffer again is one of the Holders gets injured - like Ipswich suffered last year losing both top riders, but lets see. I feel Rowe is a natural fit at Owlerton last night he was out of the gate really quick each time - which gives him a big advantage - likewise Flint looked better than I have ever seen him, he was unlucky in heat 2 otherwise that would have been at least another 2 on his scorecard.

Have nothing against Polish riders, in fact most are great to watch, however am not so sure about celebrating having one when permission for availability from Polska can change almost overnight.  Not the riders fault at all but it does leave a sour taste in the mouth especially as it could well happen again in the future.  # bum deal for the paying public.  

I think it's probably a case of Berwick can't communicate what they don't know. They probably don't want throw him under a bus and come out and say "we haven't actually been able to speak to Craig, he won't respond" Like SteelShoe says Worky had the exact same problems last year prior to the season and later on during the season. Fortunately for Workington he did turn up to 70% of meetings, performed when there and we could get a decent guest when he wasn't there. He was never going to return in 2025

You sure about this?

Exactly this. After last year if people seriously think we’re all confident of winning the title at this stage of the season and even getting to the playoffs offs injury free, then they’re living in cloud cuckoo land. We’re only a couple of meetings in and look what happened last night at Oxford! Five of the seven were involved in crashes, Doyle’s was horrible and I feared the worst for a few minutes. It’s a bit of a lottery at this early stage.
