Has certainly started well for Wolves and Poole. Be interesting to see if he can push one of the Cook brothers down to reserve! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think and hope he'll have a breakthrough year with two new clubs, however the comment is valid based on last season ie competitive fixtures, not sure warm up meetings are an accurate barometer for any rider. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top 2 are ok, both should average above 8. Expected Auty & Nielsen to average (6-7) as back up. Morris & Shanes (5.5) so would always have a good reserve, with a promising Pearson at 7, who seems the most likely of all the 4.00 newcomers to reach his ave. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaizer Posted April 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2022 Is it a bit concerning that we've not had a competitive meeting at championship level yet? Looks like every home side hitting 60 so far. Are the away sides just some of the weakest or is this a sign of what's to come? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See what next week brings. The thought had crossed my mind and while it's early days I think the league is almost in two clear halves, you can see those top five or so teams giving the lower sides proper hidings at home, the best meetings are likely to be when those top sides race each other (Poole, Glasgow, Redcar, Leicester, Oxford) or when the rest meet. Scunny, Brum, Newcastle and Edinburgh look like strugglers to me with Plymouth and Berwick slugging it out for sixth. Very early days mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
