While it's sad to see a rider injured, Berwick would be strengthened using r/r! So should certainly make sure Pijper is 100% before making a return to the track.

Belle Vue are strong enough to win without Ablitt, so may as well use r/r & give their riders more track time!

Birmingham might not be 6 points down though.

Very true an 8.01 rider could end up being picked by the weakest club for the lowest wages, as it's them or no team. Then a 7.99 rider can ask for a kings ransom as he's so valuable to any team!

Why look for a replacement? Same situation as Plymouth, team will be far stronger using guests for as long as possible!

Unless all Championship teams build to Newcastle strength & have a clear gap between Prem & Champ! Also make it easier for NDL riders to step up!

Very funny, made me laugh!

I don't think it's convenient at all, as it's a challenge match I'm sure Newcastle would rather BWD was able to get race fit ahead of the league campaign. If it was a league match I'd agree with you, very convenient!

Newcastle 44 - 46 Redcar

Looked what happened to Jason Edwards, he was given the easier number 7 spot & scored more points than his first meeting. Also didn't hinder Jordan Jenkins racing in the tougher number 6 spot!

I think Berwick will score more than they did at Armadale

For a lot of clubs just reaching the play-offs is considered a successful season!

Nope, I just rate Plymouth as a good team!

Red 45 - 45 Ply

Don't agree with the comment that Plymouth have a strong top 3, they clearly have a strong top 4! Although not against Poole!

Now you're just being silly!

I'll go for: Poole 53-37 Plymouth I'll change it to 51-39 now Plymouth have Harris!

When I was thinking of the Plymouth v Poole match, I realised I had already predicted Ple somehow!

I'll go for Birmingham 48-42 Leicester

Well as cup matches don't count for averages, Gilkes could still be at reserve for May!

Totally agree, a paid win is just as good as a heat win, or better still, as it means you've gained a 5-1!

Not sure why I keep reading about Newcastle facing a "strong" Stoke side? Steve Worrall (9.05) James Sarjeant (4.08) Ricky Wells (6.59) Leon Flint (5.89) Ben Barker (6.87) Connor Coles (2.00) Joe Alcock (2.00) Total: 36.48 That team average is well below the Championship 42.00 limit. Does makes sense for Newcastle to start off against a "weak" side to gain confidence ahead of official matches, but they'll certainly find it tougher from now on!

I'll go for: Plymouth 45 - 45 Poole

I think Lynn are stronger than Ipswich & don't expect anything other than a 3-0 win!

After the loss against Sheffield, I feel my point is correct lol!
