Marksman Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) Should be a good meeting against the Witches on Saturday, with a new line up announced tonight for the Comets it certainly looks stronger than we have so far this season. Rusty Harrison makes a welcome return and Kenneth Hansen drops to reserve! Expected line ups in riding order Comets 1. Kyle Howarth 2. Rusty Harrison3. Rene Bach4. Matty Wethers5. Ricky Wells6.

My thought is fantastic to see Rusty back riding - when I read about accident and injuries I was convinced he would be out for season and probably quit altogether - Good Luck to him, hope it goes well 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzie4388 Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 That won't be the Witches Team as Nielsen will be at Leicester with Belle Vue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 I'm visiting Workington to watch this. Not expecting us to get anything, but I want to see plenty of effort. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZODIAK Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 I'm getting a bit cheesed off with the Witches at the moment and have lost interest. This 6 man team and R/R nonsense hasn't helped. Why haven't we brought in a temporary replacement for Heeps if he was to be out this long? I know rider availability can be an issue but the R/R points haven't been all that good so the replacement wouldn't have to be a world beater to do better. R/R isn't quite so bad (although still annoying) if the other 6 are on form but they're not so R/R becomes even more of a pain in the arse.

Baldyman Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 I'm sort of with you on that one, but will be watching at Workington and Glasgow, but I've lost a bit of interest in home matches, what with the fact they struggle to ride our own track.

A four man Rye House team got within 8pts of Worky last week, could have snatched a draw in ht15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Will be interesting to see if Hansen continues to struggle or suddenly finds some form now the LC is out of the way and his nice new average has enabled the team switch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 How bad must you be to drop 3 points off your starting average? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Django Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 We will see now he has a real average, I think he'll end up around 6.5. Well done to Kyle on becoming number 1, thoroughly deserved on this years form, I'm glad to be proved wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 I said at the start of the year Workington team was pants in part due to Hansens near 8 point average. But now I say that team looks pretty bloody good, in part due to Hansens 4.5 average. Could see them surge up the table and make the play-offs.

topgun Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Will Barrett up his game when he comes back or will he just be the same I wonder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comet49 Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) I wonder if Hansens EL average was partly due to beating the fast track reserves and doubling up riders It's not what it used to be. He has looked good at times though. Edited June 18, 2015 by comet49 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mythman666 Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 I've always liked Hansen and have been surprised that his scores have been as low, although in his defense he has had his problems outside of speedway this season. He is probably now the best reserve in the league now though . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Django Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 I think there's a chance Nicki will be replaced if he's out for much longer and once Matty's average has dropped, Kenneth won't be at reserve for long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has looked good at times though. Last season Hansen had some brilliant meetings where he beat some of the leagues top guys - he score double figures down at Poole when the Bees won there. But other times he couldn't beat fast track riders. So damn frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
