Expand Hmm it may be the riders that are obsessed with it? Well that is how it is talked about on SM! If they have to be paired together then at 1 and 2 and have Masters at 5, then less pressure on Drew and Leon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 I think Masters has to be at one. It could be argued that Worrall might benefit from the extra responsibilty of riding at five given time, you look at his Championship average and it suggests he could and perhaps should be a Premiership heat leader.

Expand Ah yes but didn't work for BV last year. I mean Wolves could do that but his form for Poole needs to be good then, so he doesn't lose confidence too much. I just think it would be better for him to start at 3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand It is odd In the early 90's Adams deployed Sam Ermolenko (best Wolves rider) at 4 with Graham Jones heat leading alongside the reserves. It looked crazy but worked. But the reserves then (possibly Wayne Carter & Scott Norman) were better than the second strings (possibly Lars Munkedal & Jan Steachman). Not sure if Wolves won the league that year or lost out to Reading narrowly. Worrall @#5 won't work. The reserves are not strong enough. Morris should be @#5 regardless of whether he & Douglas like riding together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand That's not an off night at Monmore, that's a normal performance for Holder at Monmore, not his favourite track. But it's irrelevant, the Tigers overall did enough, and deserved the win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJWolves Posted April 6, 2022 Report Share Posted April 6, 2022 Very early days of course but it would be a brave man that thinks Wolves will have a better season than Sheffield. Agree with the majority that Becker should move away from number 2. He has the ability to flourish into a heat leader this season but riding there won't help him. Worrall is the obvious choice for number two and we have to hope that he improves on what he showed on Monday. And riding at this level is going to be a big challenge for our two young reserves. Four last places between them but the Sheffield reserves had the same so it wasn't that which cost Wolves the match. The League Cup will serve its purpose of getting us dialed in to the season and then hopefully by May we will have become difficult to beat at home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand They have continued with the stupid rule that the top average rider has to be at #1, which rather stifles team managers. In the Prem this season, they can only chose who rides at 2, 3, 4 & 5. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
