Was going through some Aussie scores other day I saw another Killeen. Would that be a younger brother who'd also come in on a 2.00?

Older brother I believe was helping aBerwick rider last season I think.

There’s a Aussie over with sedgy at the moment who’s ready to go.

Pretty sure he will end up at Armadale first  I think  we might  have just over 4 to replace lee after the 23 of the month

Aye the boy Hamilton who did a few laps at Ashfield after the Edinburgh meeting . Hard to judge when they are out on their own . Michael Penfold looked good doing laps on his own

Patrick Hamilton,like you say hard to judge had some good Aussie form but again against youngsters like him.Not an instant fix.

Would he be an immediate upgrade on Jack Smith? Don't think we can track both. A lot depends on the other change(s) being contemplated. Surely it's too early to write off this season.

Would agree Jack Smith is at his standard ,been around 10 years and not really done anything at Championship Level ( has had plenty chances).

Probably riding better than I've seen him, but he's still not much more than a reserve who'll struggle at most away tracks. 

I'd gladly see us bring in some new talent and prep them for next season/ attain real averages. There's no changes we can make that will make us challengers imo

Suppose the bonus is he is decent At Ashfield as a scoring reserve.

Ashfield is the consolation this season . We're not going to win anything , but the home matches will be close , entertaining affairs .

I would keep Jack, because he has scored at home which is nice for us, and replace Paul, who doesn't look like he'd beat anyone at all some weeks. Gives us the chance to look at someone for next year.

Don't think that's a way forward. Bottom end would be Ace, Jack and a 4.00 rider, who might not make his average. That doesnt strengthen us in any way and writes off a top four finish... and our season.

Jack's on a 2.9 any new Aussie would be in on a 4, if they haven't touched the Polish u24 league. 

So if the Aussie was to come in one for one it would be for Paul.
