TurnTwo 317 Posted February 2, 2017 And with a weak weak tail I strongly disagrees none of their 3 riders will average more than 3.5 I suspect verge avg to drop, Ruddick to get 3.2 and woods 3.25 this team will finish like the Kent team of 2015 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arnieg 3,620 Posted February 2, 2017 Look at Birmingham's 2015 league winning performances. Almost all of their important away wins were on the back of big scores from Woods. Verge is slowly improving and Ruddick has the potential to up his average. Remember all three will at times be facing opponents who are inexperienced reserves.

Even if they don't add much to their averages, they're not going to lose a lot either. Likewise Woods always hits around the 3.00 mark. So they will always have 2 reserves who will be better than the opposition's kid number 6 and useful at home, similar to Eastbourne's pairing in 2016.

Or did you mean Eastbourne? The 2015 Brum side had most of thier big away wins on the back of performances from Zac Waj or Kirby. Not sure Sam Woods has ever been a match changer. Back to Mildenhall and yes i do think they have a solid looking side but there are reliability / composure doubts surrounding Woods & Ruddick. I would bet there will be a couple of 5-0's in heat 2 over the course of the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Woods' most significant contribution was as a member of Rye House's fours winning team. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ghosty 500 Posted February 28, 2017 A nice display of bikes by the Fen Tigers @ Paradise park on Sunday, also a good turn-out of current & former riders. Might be a good move to have a tigers reunion & get together down @ the fen in 2017 (Saturday evening) followed by with a home fixture on the Sunday. Well done to all involved on Sunday, anybody know how many? Mel Taylor looked young & fit enough that he could jump back on a bike tomorrow, but I don't think he would want to get dirty nowadays!
