So if zengi fits it would be perfect a top rider and bloke and got on well with the fans

 

Exactly!

We can allow him one indiscretion, Gem :D

I always have a soft spot for shamek I will never forget how he rode in the play off final wish it could be him

 

I agree, but no chance!

I may not be as clued up as the regulars on here, but I'm baffled by all this talk of changes to the middle order, when our problem lies with a top two who so often go walkabout when they are most needed. Last night Robbo & co saved the day yet again whilst Andersen & Harris seemed to have forgotten how to set up their bikes and/or how to ride. How many times have we seen that in the last few years? Leicester must be wondering how they managed to lose last night.

 

All we need for a play-off winning side is at least one heat leader who consistently scores double figures (10 from 5 only equals an 8-point average, after all).

I'm sure all teams would love one or more heat leaders averaging 8 or more, but (exc bp) there are only 4 riders in the league achieving this.

Harris has performed well this season, while it would be madness to ditch Hans now - on that average he would be snapped up!

I agree. Last night we still won with our top 2 having a very poor night. Hans says they now know what the problem is so hopefully he can start scoring again.

I'm not suggesting we should drop either of them. Just saying that it's their inconsistency that costs us championships, not any weakness in the rest of the team (e.g. play-off final last year).

 

And I know 8 is a rare average these days, my point really was that they need to be getting close to their average every match, especially at home. A string of double figures then a few 4s and 5s is not going to win the big ones.

Are you seriously saying Harris often goes walkabout when we need him most 😂

He's the rider I would most want in my heat 15 most of the time if it's down to a last heat decider. In the 2010 play offs he certainly never let us down or went walkabout even when in agony from being ridden over by his team mate.

Hans has to go. Get ward in ASAP

Would you seriously trust Ward to ride for Coventry 😂 He consistently lets down Poole and he loves them. Can you imagine the average dropping he would do and the performance he would put on in the play offs against Poole.

No chance of him wanting to ride for us either

 

It would be like Giggs leaving Man Utd to go and play for Man City. 😂 or Gerrard joining Man Utd

Or like Dennis Law leaving Man Utd to join Man City, These things just never happen do they, I think it was the season Manchester United were relegated
