he's a bear - we need to get behind him. He's been through a bit - new start for him

I support Redcar - doesnt mean I have to like all 7 riders - he is a professional and will get on with it, good look to him but I don't have to be happy about it.

Oh and the fact I help pay his wages, is more than enough support...

Kus, well,disappointing to say the least, he could not wait to leave us, not welcome 

Do you mean "us" as in the fans, That's not true. I think he fell out with our promotion at the time.

At the end of the day he wanted out of Redcar - plenty of better riders than him stayed around, he refused to ride for us - for me, I would never have him back - but he is here now so we just have to get on with it.

Theres that word "us" again. I think he didn't want to ride for Havvy. As you were a Havvy basher at the time I don't understand how you are swapping things around to try and make your opinion correct and blaming the rider for doing the same thing you were doing.

It is not opinion, it is fact he refused to ride for Redcar - no matter who promotion was - but that is a side issue and his past decisions have nothing to do with us signing him now - totally agree.

But the main problem with him I have is, he is simply not good enough to be number two heatleader - but as I have said that isnt really his fault, he has been signed to fill that role - but I don't believe he is good enough - I hear people saying what a great racer he is, well yes if he gates - otherwise he is not bothered. 

I sincerely hopes he proves me wrong and does a Micky Dyer and becomes one of the stars of the season - I just can't see it, as - as I have said - I don't rate him as a rider, nothing to do with what he has or hasnt said or done in the past.

Decent 1 to 7 - will be ok at home, but will get some drubbings away, but same can be said of a number of sides.

Think we have the strongest reserve pairing in the league, but the fact we have wasted nearly a full point says a lot...

1 - Barker - Good number one, but lack of support from rest of team could pile pressure on - hope not
2 - Stewart - Always nice to have a new face, did ok in Aussie champs and looking forward to seeing him
3 - JBA - Really good rider, came on a lot last season, but big ask to ride as a heat-leader
4 - MBA - Could be the ace in the pack - if anyone is going to step up, could be him - again exciting addition
5 - Kus - Tough call to make him ride as second heat-leader, hopefully he maintains his average 
6 - Busch - Great to see him back - should push for top-5 spot
7 - Pijper - Not a huge fan, but at reserve and on that average could and should be adding more than a point

So as has been said, solid team - should entertain at home - Good number one, great reserves and two new additions - won't be making the play-offs but should be decent value.
