Expand Poor form ? Now you are definitely on the wind up. The arrival of Tai had seen them linking up really well and Kerr back on form. Not sure what you expect from a number 6, but his last 6 meetings for Sheffield were 5, 7, 5+1, 6, 6+2, 9+4. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishersGate Posted December 2, 2023 Report Share Posted December 2, 2023 For a return into the top flight I think its a good side. I do think it will take time to get going though. Remember Magic, Nikolai, Rohan are all new to this track. Its also bombers and Wright's first season at the club. You may see oxford start very slow but get better as this goes on. Abit like leicester last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LisaColette Posted December 2, 2023 Report Share Posted December 2, 2023 It is a good team but it isn't great though imo. Also Magic, Tungate and Klindt haven't rode the new Oxford track yet. So you want to be visiting first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bloom89 Posted December 2, 2023 Report Share Posted December 2, 2023 I think magic is key to what this side will do, if he rides like we know he can then they will do well but if he’s as inconsistent as he was during his last season in the gps then Oxford could struggle.
