I don't give the fen tigers much hope with that line up. Why not R/R for Jenkins and a guest for Ayres. As a neutral, it looks like Lakeside v Peterborough for me tomorrow.

So many riders were tried but they're either riding elsewhere,don't want the booking or have packed up for the winter.Very,very few options available to us

Sad state of affairs if, even at this level (and that’s not a snub or put down in anyway), riders don’t want the booking for a play off final.

With our form at West Row we are going to need at least a 20 point lead tonight. It all looks very tight and I think Charlie Brooks may hold the key.  Josh Bailey cannot possibly be as bad tonight as last week.

Mark Baseby found his gating skill last night at Leicester which could also make a difference if he repeats it.

I think Eastie will get the 20 point + lead looking at the line ups, and they'll be really confident of keeping it under that in the away leg given their current form. Baseby and Powell will probably score more than the last home fixtures as well.

Why couldn't the league match be run tonight, and the final next Friday. Mildenhall might have had more choice of guests.

I think it is because Eastbourne had the 2nd leg of the cup at home so Mildenhall get the second leg of the Play off at home.  The 2nd leg is always more interesting and likely to pull a better crowd. We had a similar situation a couple of years ago with Birmingham and that was how they worked it then.  On that occasion Eastbourne had the 2nd leg in the Cup and won it so the presentation was in front of there own fans  and Vica versa Birmingham had the presentation as champions in front of their fans. 

If that's an omen then Mildenhall will win the League title at West Row on Thursday.

Injuries have really taken their toll at the wrong time for Mildenhall and the current form team are very likely to benefit from it. 

Would be a shame if The Tigers only ended the season with the National trophy under their belt but rules are rules whether people think its right or wrong. 

Personally I think that we all know who the National league team of the year really is !!!

Kelsey Dugard !!!!  He will be under family orders not to score a point .

 

There will not be any "boxing" as long as the ref doesn't give any decisions against the Eagles.

Kelsey is quite capable of  scoring 0 without family orders! But if  there were any unlikely to listnen as he's been sacked more than once by his brother.

It probably has a simple answer but why are Mildenhall not racing the final on Sunday or failing that Friday or Saturday. Thursday seems an odd day and will deprive them of some extra footfall that may have been willing to turn out when no work the following day. Whatever happens Mildenhall have had a cracking season and the trophy really does belong to them and not decided in a lottery meeting.
