Paulco Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 If we are actually out of the monsoon season before Friday we might get our home campaign up and running . Our nearest and dearest are first up and they arrive with much the same mediocre side as last year . Pickering is always good value right enough , but the rest ?????. Thomson has the odd decent meeting around Ashfield , the Italian porn star has the odd competitive race in him , can't see the rest doing too much . I'm assuming Lee will still be kicking his heels waiting on the second test result to clear him , so we will possibly need a guest reserve . So if we can put the canoes away I think a 20 point home win should be achievable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaizer Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 Sedgy had couple decent meetings guesting last season, particularly in the enemies colours. Ben and Tom were tougher opposition for him than worrall and Leon imo. Think might be pretty tight actually, would take 10 points 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should have been the PR agent for Nick Morris, Ritchie Worrall and Steve Boxall with that kind of confidence! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickinho Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 Providing it goes ahead I think this will be decided by the newbies in each team - Leon, Paul and James for Glasgow, Justin, Connor and Max for Edinburgh. The rest will no doubt perform as we expect so the onus will be on what the new guys will bring to the fixture. I think Glasgow by six at the end of the meeting.

Jaizer Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 Should number 6 be unavailable I'd say hagon is the best of the not engaged riders. If we're given a 75% would be still qualify my maths isn't the best? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if anything Edinburgh should perform better this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO as the rider is missing due to a Non Negative test then the club should only be allowed a guest upto his average 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mulford would be the ideal guest but unfortunately Redcar also are a Friday night track . So Hagen , Hodder and McGurk are the only real choices . And all are complete novices at this level . Though Hodder seems to have started the season pretty well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be "treading water" of course but I wonder if they'll publicly give Lee their 100% backing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
