RobMcCaffery Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Anyone really think Harris should be in. He's a laughing stock, total embarrassment 13 points for GB in some obscure SWC event at some hick country track last year and a consistent entertainer and scorer in the EL. Â Do you only watch GPs? Â Yes he's not performing in the GPs (Neither is a certain Niels Kristian Iversen by the way). but laughing stock? I've told you a million times not to exaggerate. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waiheke1 Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Anyone really think Harris should be in. He's a laughing stock, total embarrassmentReally? In what was is he an embarrassment or laughing stock? He's a very good rider who has been a great servant of British speedway, but what he isn't is world class.Can I ask if you are in the top 30 or so in your profession in the works, and if not does that make you an embarrassment and laughingstock? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Danny Smith said Bomber was poor on Monday even though he scored 11 points! But, after last night King over took Bomber for that last position for me. Bombers performance was awful while Danny was overtaking some top riders. Don't know why some are 50/50 over Cook, for me he's a certainty with it being at Belle Vue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Blue Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 All about opinions I suppose but with my slightly personal bias as a Witches fan for King I would say if he's not in the team, just what the hell do you have to do to get picked?  On current form I'd say  Woffinden King Then maybe Lambert or Cook or both but it's take your pick really, Harris and Nicholls are both past it in my opinion.  Not really that bothered on the U21 reserve as they can only be used for injury and not tactical cover anyway.

I think the reserve argument is over, our reserve should be Josh Bates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Lambert and Woffinden, then god help us. Â Cook has reached his level as a decent EL second string and not very good around Belle Vue. Â Harris, well sorry after yesterdays completely embassessing an inept display no than you. Nicholls is also past his best so again no. Â King is riding well and after his efforts in the British Final and GP deserves the nod. Â So it looks like lambert, Woffinden, Cook and King. I think the reserve argument has now been completely put to bed with Ellis getting the reserve berth. Beating riders like Andreas around Lakeside proves he has got what it takes if called upon.

Bagpuss Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Bates is the British U21 champion and the second highest Brit in the World U21 standings behind Lambert so can feel very hard done by if he3 doesn't get the reserve spot. Like King he has produced in the big meetings this season, a good reason for both to be included. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Must be some second string with a 7+ average plus being the highest averaged Brit. Â Ellis beating Jonsson round a wee kiddies track means nothing.

ouch Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 He is 9th overall on current stats. Â If he was only 0.27 higher he'd be number 1 at four tracks. Â He's no second string. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenway Bleachers Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Tai,King Lambert and Bomber likely the team. Â Rosco has never picked Cookie at any and has blinkers there. Eddie Kennett more likely! Â We will struggle to get a medal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Must be some second string with a 7+ average plus being the highest averaged Brit.  Ellis beating Jonsson round a wee kiddies track means nothing. Highest averaged Brit in the Peterboorugh team maybe! Kennett 8.67 Harris 8.1 Lambert 7.86 Newman 7.76* Worrall 7.55* Lawson 7.45 Cook 7.31 Nicholls 7.22  *Mainly reserve  All averages with bonus points as they're a better guide to riders form/level/worth. Without bonus points Nicholls goes above though for the record.  http://speedway-stats.co.uk/Averages/2016/1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Good to have a full strength Russian Team. I'll be sticking a few quid on them at 18/1 with Boylesports. Â It definitely looks like the race-off for the Danes now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Denmark likely to be heading to the fri playoffs, but they will need better riders. maybe the two GP riders are certainties for the main team.
