Glasgow 2018


Recommended Posts

No.3

 

Might as well just hand Glasgow the trophy now. Fantastic side.

 

Vissing is the No.3 because Kerr's average is 6.78. Only 6.80 to play with.

was it not given to them for the last 3 years.. and they dropped it ?

2.00 exactly

do you think smithy will be back or kyle ?

Looks like a bargain on that average and goes well at Ashfield.

 

Other than one match with Edinburgh in 2013 I cant agree. There is a bit of the maniac about him. Whilst he can be covered for in the 1-5, I think our points would have been better spent on a strong reserve and a weaker No2. Looks like we are again fielding an untried 2 pointer, likely to be Bickley. That puts the pressure on Sarjeant who is twitchy at the best of times. should he get injured we are stumped. A strong reserve can take seven rides and replace any of their team mates, a weak reserve can't meaning there are fewer opportunities on the racecard to gain advantages in the heats they are in. Thats a huge part of what stuffed us this season.

Like you MD, I'm a bit worried about another 2 point reserve. I thought lessons had been learned. If Sargeant remains fit we should be ok but if out with injury....oh dear.

I've seen Claus Vissing have some brilliant rides and I used to rate him highly and thought he was really going places but he kinda levelled out and can run hot and cold.

I had hoped for Kyle Newman as he was flying before his injury and made gradual improvement last year after his recovery.

If Claus rides consistently to his ability though, we should be very strong......except for the vulnerable reserve part.

Makes you think that we had done a deal with said 2 pointer long before the season ended, then the AGM removed the requirement to have one. In that scenario Vissing is the one that makes up the final numbers. The logic otherwise is lost on me.

Excellent side and will start as favourites.

 

Sarj will be 5+ min

 

If it is JPB then he will add at least a point.

 

Improvement still there for the 1-5 as well.

 

The only question mark could be Vissing but as he is likely to be in 2nd string position should still be strong.

 

Looking forward to some great match ups 👍
