Yes but you don't want to play the strongest team in the semi leave the tough one to the final, so you try to finish top, pick the weakest team and let the other two fight it out and you never know the strongest might get knocked out.

Definite favourites for sure, but Wolves are a danger. Be interesting to see how they do at Poole on Sept 5th.

Strongest for a reason though! I don't ever remember the strongest getting knocked out before? And if they do, surely the team who knocked them out is stronger anyway cos they beat them!!?

He’s got to get past the tapes first. It is not getting past the tapes that is a problem for Sarjeant. It is going under them rather than over them that is his problem.

Finishing top particularly this year is key because one of Ippo or Aces look vulnerable. The other semi should indeed be one tough encounter.

foreverblue Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 According to the local paper it will be r/r for Josh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure it matters much which position r/r is, we will miss him tonight I would be happy with a point and hope Josh is back soon, we don't need injuries going in to the play offs.

foreverblue Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 Looking forward to tonight, not because I think we will win because I don't but always a pleasure watching NKI , I expect him to score well. Not expecting much from THJ but more than willing for him to surprise me , when on form he can be inspirational. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That didn't include Thursday's at Foxhall remember Now let's see, i) he missed his flight from Sweden (GP was in Sweden) ii) he was suffering concussion ( strangely was still able to ride in GP on Saturday wherever it was) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
