ruffdiamond Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) I detest the TR, especially in a short series of matches like the Playoff groups. In the league you can justify it to some extent by saying everyone gets a shot at some stage, however in the Playoffs Somerset have had an extra 3 points which were not available to Newcastle - simply because of how BADLY they did in the early stages. That 3 points could yet decide the group. I know some fans like their teams to try to avoid the TR but in effect you are giving up points and should not even have to think about anything other than doing the best you can. If Newcastle had ridden for a 3-3 rather than a 4-2, they lose two points but avoid losing 3, an overall gain of 1. that point 'could be' vital,,,and lets be honest,,, how many people could see Doyle getting beat last night ? 'not beyond the realms of possibility, but hardly within the laws of probability' Edited October 14, 2013 by ruffdiamond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The White Knight Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 exactly,,, if it were me, not sure I'd be there me self,,, through me season ticket in at 'St.James', and tbh,,, don't even know when or who they play these days,,, with regards the TR,,, I see the benefit, it can keep matches close, but also, quite often at Newcastle, they play staright into it ,,, and in this case, ride for the 3-3 in the race before, thus not giving 'the class above' Doyle the chance of double points,,, does actually anybody in the management think of it,,, I mean, it took Richie so long to pass Alex Davies, he could have easily sat at the back and protected Newcastle from Doyle being allowed the TR option !!! ,,, now that's ffffing frustrating,,, look ahead... But anyway,,, 'The Rebels' ain't there yet, and might not, and if not, they WON'T be champions, just piddly league winners (which counts for nowt),,, simple, lol Couldn't agree more. that point 'could be' vital,,, and lets be honest,,, how many people could see Doyle getting beat last night ? 'not beyond the realms of possibility, but hardly within the laws of probability' that point 'could be' vital,,, and lets be honest,,, how many people could see Doyle getting beat last night ? 'not beyond the realms of possibility, but hardly within the laws of probability' I said as much to Tsunami last night only to be chased for my pains. I think that George should have instructed the two Riders to go for a 3-3. I know, as Tsunami went to great lengths to point out, that I have argued in the past that ALL Riders should be giving 100% - however, if you are riding the best you can for your TEAM - then attempting to BLOCK a TACTICAL RIDE is being TACTICAL isn't it? Or - am I missing something? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
