2ndbendbeerhut Posted August 22, 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 King's average is actually ..... false. Take away the times he's beaten his teammate over 3 heats (eg the no 4) and then reserve in heat 12. This would be same all year.... The only 2 riders of Wolves he beat last night was Worrall and Becker. 2 all night.!! Beat Rew Twice for 3 points and then followed home Hume for 1+1in heat 12.

The trouble is being the 3rd heat leader some expect him to perform like the other 2 which was never going to happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly,,, so let's not wait till next year and miss out,,,,, although I'm presuming Louis knows who is is,, as he doesn't know any foreign youngsters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I like to see - confidence that their will be 2 leagues! If there are then Oxford could well go up and have him as their RS.

Gotta fair point the 2nd half of the season he has disappointed for sure 2 hours ago, Arch Stanton said: Abysmal. Him and the season long struggle with the Riss situation are the two reason’s we’re not in the play offs. Nothing to do with King whatsoever. Yep think thats a fair reflection - King has largely done the job expected and needed of him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Rew was cut a bit of slack first half of the season after coming back from a pre season injury and riding fresh tracks he hadn't seen before, he doesn't really have any excuse for his poor scores now tbf, he's generally been very disappointing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racin Jason 72 Posted August 22, 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 Rew has been disappointing. I feel if he had a championship place as well he may have improved but as it stands now I would not have him back next season. Especially if he is on a 5 point assessed average rather than his actual average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
