justathought Posted June 12, 2022 Report Share Posted June 12, 2022 I'll start it then. NEWCASTLE: Ricky Wells, Kasper Andersen, James Wright, Max Clegg, Paul Starke r/r, Lee Complin, Jack Smith. LEICESTER: Nick Morris, Connor Mountain (or r/r), Richie Worrall, Joe Thompson, Kyle Howarth, Jason Edwards, Dan Thompson. On paper, seems like an easy Lions win.

szkocjasid Posted June 12, 2022 Report Share Posted June 12, 2022 I'm guessing that riding order means Newcastle have read comments by fans on the forum / Facebook & decided to use r/r for Starke & not Wethers? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think using R/R for Connor Mountain weakens us. I would expect him to go well there, especially as he rode for Newcastle last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadders Posted June 12, 2022 Report Share Posted June 12, 2022 (edited) Been to every track up and down the country. Newcastle is the only one where I rarely see anyone wearing the home sides merch. Lifeless, lacklustre crowd. Edited June 12, 2022 by Shadders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloom89 Posted June 12, 2022 Report Share Posted June 12, 2022 Everyone knows there isn't really an outside line at Newcastle now so what does Complin do spends 4 laps trying the outside, then Wells left a gap as big as the grand canyon in heat 4, do riders actually watch what is happening between races? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking the same. Complin only rides the outside line, wrong track for him. Wells was naive for a rider of his experience.

I feel for them, its a canny stadium which, if it wasn't operating, people would be clamouring for it to open. TBH its time for the league to pull together and somehow make sure the talent is shared - Poole can't play Glasgow or Leicester every week 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only way I think of is reducing the points allowance in the championship teams so some teams only ride with 2 heat leaders which frees one up for other teams. It would encourage more teams to use younger British talent at the tail end. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waved Howarth through Complin is experienced enough to think oh I'll try the inside for a lap or two and put pressure on Edwards see if he makes a mistake but he never. Wells has looked very tentative so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
