Certain people in the devils side need to have a look at themselves. Team was built for certain individuals and they’re just rolling around at the back without it looks putting in much effort. 

Agree, and with two of the team rarely beating an opponent unless they fail to finish, the Devils management should be trying to bring in other alternatives.

Don't know if he is still riding, but young Danny Smith of the defunct Gems looked a far better prospect last year than the "local talent".

TBH as a spectator, I want to see a competitive match, but the Devils long tail precludes us even seeing any close home encounters this season.

If we stick with the same formation, I very much doubt that the Devils will even pick up a single match point in the NDL.

Hard to disagree. One bike between them makes me think they’re not that bothered or in it for the long haul. They’re not exactly being led from the front by our no.1 though- missing the two mins in heat one is a nonsense then his bike being slow as a week in the jail from then on in. There was a gulf in class and professionalism last night.

Only three devils riders got pass marks and not one was a Scot.  Foot and A**e come to mind for the other three.  Is the Team Manager too soft, one of the problems?

William goes on about wanting to ride championship again well that’s never going to happen with how he currently acts. 
 

gregor is a frustrating one as has all the talent and is more than capable of doing it but just looks sometimes like he doesn’t want to be out there shutting off out the starts and going into corners last night. Lewis has been at the same standard for about 5 years now.

Thats a poor show at this level im dissapointed when riders show up with 1 bike so 1 shared is shocking. 

Is Rothery out injured or has he run out of equipment already?

Agreed its daft. If an engine failure or crash means both riders not able to complete the meeting. Id rather see "lesser" riders given the chance if they are prepared to commit to it. Sounds much like the Millars are happy playing at speedway.

They definitely didn’t share a bike last night. Both had a bike each at least. 
 

rothery who knows noting seems to ever get said in press releases to say whats wrong or where he is.

Gregor did have a bike and was struggling to get it started, as did Keith Maben who tried to help. Don't know if they succeeded.
