Bagpuss Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Just important to get off the mark tonight, any kind of win will do. There are no trophies handed out for tonking teams in April. This is a potential banana skin with Somerset likely to be right at home in their big, fast surroundings this evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likewise I think it is important for the Rebels to show that they are not going to be the pushover everyone suggests. Fingers crossed for a close meeting at least. We've got used to respectful away scores over the last few years. Hopefully we're not going back to the dark old days where Mario Jirout was the only rider to score the majority of our points.

Like you say, I've practically forgot what it's like for us to score any less than 40 points away from home as that's been a massive rarity over the last couple of years. Let's hope we keep it close at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have a team that is definitely capable of keeping things close. Paddy is the key, he can trouble the big hitters and that is the key as heat 13 and 15 is going to be KL strongest areas. People wrote us off last year and we showed great team spirit, I'm sure we can show that again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just can't see it being close myself not with Holder, Lambert and Batchelor in town unless of course you have some daft riders who don't know the rules!!

I bet they're plenty of 'Daft riders' who don't know all the rules..... But no doubt the Ref will put that right...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All riders should know the rules, it is their job to know and it is up to the ref to enforce them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waytogo28 Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 I don't think that Somerset will score less than 38 points. There is still a big question mark against Porsing, Huckenbeck & Rose. They have been so hit and miss in their scoring ( or apparent effort at times ) And Bailey, so that we can judge his true potential has yet to be given an extended run.

semion Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Many of the so called experts wrote of Somerset before a wheel had been turned last season. Looked what happened to those predictions. Old Gary is bit like his wife Theresa. Write either off at your peril. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 This could well be a 60-30. But as semion says, people wrote Somerset off last season and look at what they did. I hope they prove me wrong and go on to have a decent season, would be great to see a club that started only 15(?) years ago in a field in the NL (CL then), won a few things in the NL, moved up to the PL and after struggling to begin with come good. If they could go on to be one of the top EL clubs it would show that with a bit of time, effort and dedication you can make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willowman Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 (edited) ... club that started only 15(?) years ago Its easy to remember; we started properly in 2000, so that makes 17 years of racing. I would guess we were in the CL for about 3 years and old PL since. So a new era begins tonight. Just hope we entertain the KL fans and keep it respectable.
