Great to see the name Nigel Sadler in there. Such a shame he had to retire on medical grounds. Is he making a come back or is it strictly a one off?

The word is he's just doing a few meetings to keep his hand in, but you never know..........

I belive Nigel is now settled back in Adelaide and just wants to do a few local meetings,

One of his first rides during the last winter season at Gillman he broke his wrist!

Give me a break, Jake Anderson should have atleast been first reserve if he wasnt good enough to make the field.And on what ive seen of him here in adelaide he should have been included.

Didnt he win the Ivan Mauger meet with Kurtz in it, what more can he do.

 

 

NSW bias if ever ive seen it

 

Typical Junior

Arlo's won a fair few fans over your way this season among both spectators and promotors alike, 'cos he's always willing to have a red-hot go at anything. Fingers crossed he can take that next step.

 

Can only agreee with you there BFD, he looks a very improved rider this season.

The time in the UK has really started to show, hes also been a regular at the gillman practices.

On that note thanks very much to Chappy, Mark Mitchell and Don Marker for organising regular practice sessions, i know Robert has shown great improvement already this year.

 

Regards Darrell
