So that gives you 3x strong reserves all year. You should be looking at 2x 6.00 men and a number 1 not pushing morris and shanes into main body 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morris had 1 good season few years ago but has gone backwards since, Shanes not a rider I've ever been impressed by and like you say is in the Josh bates mould 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Hume and Shanes have the same average and Morris is 2 tenths less ? which makes your post not factual ? (LOL....not splitting hairs btw...) Shanes and Morris achieved this average riding on a very poor surface last season. I've studied all 3 riders close up over the last few seasons and I'll stand by my statement. (there's not much difference between the 3 of them, but I think Morris is, or has, the bigger potential and he's more controlled out of the 3...)
