Probably be a similar outcome against majority of teams in the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel he could be the difference between having a season like last year which was utter rubbish to a side that will be competing in the play offs. really needs to find some consistency this year and step up into the heat leader role was on the end of too many 5-1s last year which cost us many meetings. So no Paco if your looking for consistency Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done his job as a 2nd string imo. As a heat leader kye should be going out and winning races if not getting 2nd places. Too many lasts and thirds last year.

But what about the 7 heats neither Harris or Worrall appear in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily the points gained in all the other heats count the same as those from heats 13 and 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macca Posted December 18, 2023 Report Share Posted December 18, 2023 History repeating itself, I fear. Assembling a similar looking side to last year, if rumours are to be believed and there are no suprises. Is the hope just ‘the whole league will be weaker, so a similar team should do better’? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were told we’d have a fresh look to the team in 2024 after a poor 2023. However so far and with what is rumoured we seem to have back tracked on this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The surprise could actually be that there no surprises, but have a feeling there may be at least one, otherwise what would be the "exciting news" that was promised earlier ?

Endeavour Posted December 18, 2023 Report Share Posted December 18, 2023 Think promotion need to announce our number one (if signed). We can’t afford to have another season like 2023. Why bother to bring Bastian over last season to lose out on him in 2024. Don’t think Richie Worall scenario has helped our team building. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no doubt Monarchs top 2 would be one of the weaker combinations if it is Sedgmen / Riss. BUT in "my team" Monarchs could have a reserve stronger than 4 of Glasgow's riders, 3 or 4 of Oxford's riders & 3 of Poole's riders for example.

While Max is promising, it's probably gonna be a season too early for him to step up & I think he'll have the lowest NL ave of any 2.00 riders stepping up this year. So Monarchs could once again have the weakest rider in the league riding for them. Is it worth having a "fresh face" if they're out of their depth. For Max & Edinburgh's sake I hope the step up isn't too much for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have got to remember this is why the League was watered down to bring young talent, he will be racing other young talent,time will tell who makes the most progress.Someone has to have ‘ the lowest average’.

Kevin Wolbert was certainly on my wish list when first heard about the "exciting news". Now that would be exciting - maybe not very likely ?
