  1. It's been debated a number of times and issues I know of go back to the days of Michael Lee & then Simon Wigg. Yes Tai has his views, as do we all and he has been very successful on the international stage. I'd suggest he could pass on a lot of this knowledge by riding in his own domestic league, influencing riders and inspiring directly rather than slag it off as not being world class. Riders from other countries nearly always ride in their own leagues and contest National Championships (Australia excepted). Plenty of riders may want to ride in other leagues across Europe but they need to stand out here first before they'll be considered. I did like his suggestion of using Wolverhampton as a venue (would suit him of course) but the point is well made about different types of track. I'd also agree that skipping and eating Goji berries is not going to make you a World Champ but what the likes of Nicholls and Harris also do by riding in the UK, helping to develop British riders, should not be easily dismissed/overlooked. The only mistake Rosco made was in his selection - the addition of a spare rider would have been vetoed due to cost I'd have thought and not one for him to be criticised for - he seemed to miss the point of the question when interviewed, it wasn't about having Bewley rather than Harris it was about having an additional rider in Russia in the event of an injury.
  2. Quite right. He is doing his best. Unfortunately Rosco should have picked Charles Wright. In good form and worth a punt, can make a start sometimes as well better than Bewley this season I think.
  3. Shouldn't be allowed a guest - if Doyle can go Friday then so could Harris.
  4. Agree with most of that, it was a shame the track was so grippy on the inside. Re: Nicholls, he wasn't already on a warning, so ref treated it consistently with anyone else moving at the start.
  5. Ha, Dougie had a bad one, just as well King was awful.
  6. It's not a bumpy, some might say dangerous track, just boring with only one line
  7. Chapman has changed the surface according to Bjerre, he's ruined it from a racing perspective. Won't be going there this season.
  8. Wolves' new team are a different prospect. Tidy home win for me.
  9. Selects them himself I think. I have a couple from a local shop to me.
  10. As expected Douglas is rescuing the Wolves season. With Ash Morris they may have lost.
  11. I think he's put two other bikes together, so should be on his normal gear for Ipswich.
  12. I'm a little disappointed that Rosco didn't have a punt with Charles Wright for this, rather than his old mate Harris. He's been in good form lately. Earlier this year I bet on the Aussies so will be secretly hoping they can do something
  13. Should be a relatively easy win for the Wolves, with Douglas hopefully bringing his A game.
  14. Or maybe one where you need a bit more skill.
  15. Worrall was much better in 2017 before he broke his leg and missed a lot of 2018. Has achieved at a lower level since.
  16. no real surprise maybe as the ones I saw him in he wasn't up to much?
  17. Worrall has not been the same since his broken leg, I thought he'd be a No.1 by now. Bewley also seems to have gone backwards, hope he soon gets back to his best.
  18. You have Douglas instead of A Morris.
  19. Of course it is, hence was it really that? All rumours at mo anyway. Wolves definitely stronger now anyway.
  20. Yep, the No.3 has, on paper, tougher rides in the PSC compared to the league.
  21. Stop team speedway and that's me done with the sport.
  22. Pleased I got that one wrong, well done Panthers and a great guest in Wells. Batchelor was a surprise for me, the way he's been gating and an aussie 'an all.
