Getting the bonus is going to be a challenge against the really good teams. Today wasnt one of them. Roll on Friday for the Bandits.

Not many teams have a top order combo of Craig and Josh though, so I think it will balance out. And I’m sure the boys will only improve.

While Hook looked decent enough at Armadale, after beating both reserves in heat 2 on Friday, he then only beat Ace, for the rest of the 2 matches.

So I think his score may flatter him a little & if he was riding at 2 could've ended up scoring 1 point per match? Like you say if he goes up to number 2, could struggle! Not likely to happen for a while though as he's carrying a 2.5 average that would need to rise above 4 to replace Fredriksen in the top 5.

I hadn’t realised his starting average was that low, so I guess that will help. But I guess the question is, should he really be expected to do any more than he did this weekend? So maybe the issue is, the number 2 isn’t strong enough. As a 7, I think he’s fine. Bickley at 6 is on a hiding to nothing.

I think Hook will do decent job, but It will be negated by Bickley IMO

Danes are weird cause they dish it out like Ben does but when happens to them cry like little kids. 

Didn’t say he was crying though.

Said he was pissing himself laughing.

Surely even you can tell the difference between both.

Can’t dish it out and not take it. 

Dish what out because Cook said that in a tweet ?.

I never saw Ben dishing anything out just a good race between two good committed riders , until Cook tried a move that probably wasn’t there and wiped Ben out.

 Basso runs people up the fence and dives bombs people like that all the time just others are a bit smarter than him and get out the way.

As a 2.5 rider - no

As a rider taking up 4 points in the team - maybe yes.

There was neve much chance of Jacob beating a top 5 Tiger, so it was really Complin who he could've beaten to impress more. That being said he did beat Pijper repeatedly, so should have the beating of many Championship reserves this year.
