Gambo95 Posted October 16, 2022 Report Share Posted October 16, 2022 With the 2022 season over for the Bandits, it's time to look towards 2023. I would like to see Chris and Leon back. Hopefully get Jonas and his brother unless they get fixed up in the main leagues in Poland. Like to see Ace get a place at reserve. Others depend on the team average.

Poole have stuck with Ablitt all season so if we can build a strong top 6 why not give Ace a chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And look at his u21 effort, beat some very decent riders that night 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really need to put a cap on who is too good to ride in this league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGould Posted October 16, 2022 Report Share Posted October 16, 2022 Bickley is probably a better example of how confidence can be shot if promoted too soon. Harry McGurk too. Ace needs another NDL season and occasional chances in CL if reserves missing or as No 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One more year at NDL racing will do him much more good. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumours last Saturday night Chris and Leon are Oxford bound.Think it's to early for Ace,but Worky done it with Kyle and had not to bad a season, agree about Jonas and his brother.

spin king junior Posted October 16, 2022 Report Share Posted October 16, 2022 (edited) Thank it'd be a massive mistake for Berwick to run with Ace. Unless the points limit gets dramatically reduced. Being realistic, Berwick won't be running with a top heavy side and if thongs stay the way they are then it runs the risk of Berwick going under the limit once again.

Plus he was a top NL heat leader before moving up. The form of riders like McGurk, Ablitt & Freeman are better examples of riders moving up too soon!

szkocjasid Posted October 17, 2022 Report Share Posted October 17, 2022 It's hard to make suggestions for the 2023 team when you don't know points limit etc. But I do feel it would be too soon for Ace to move into the Champ. However if he tops the NDL aves then he could get chances throughout the year. Certainly worth him being the unofficial number 8 though!

Normski Posted November 12, 2022 Report Share Posted November 12, 2022 So following last night's End of Season Awards night, we now know that Leon Flint will captain the team in 2023 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
