Sidney the robin 4,735 Posted February 13, 2017 Howarth had a better 2016 in both leagues. So that's all that needs saying. But from 2012/15 Auty was ahead and he mixed it in the British Final Howarth struggled big year for both this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted February 13, 2017 I'd pick Auty over Howarth, the stats say Howarth but he's so annoying to watch. Having seen both ride for Coventry I know who I prefer. Neither will ever amount to much more than they are now though, 8ish PL men. Auty is the one far more likely to pull a ride out the bag if you need it I think but equally as likely to come last in a race he should win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone can raise their game for one meeting. Auty HAS been the better rider, just not in 2016. Let's see what 2017 brings! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BWitcher 12,453 Posted February 13, 2017 But from 2012/15 Auty was ahead and he mixed it in the British Final Howarth struggled big year for both this year. Wouldn't the fact that Auty is three years older have something to do with that also? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

B.V 72 1,054 Posted February 14, 2017 There both s**t! Not every rider will be a world champ and a league needs riders at every leval.Seeing that both Auty and Howarth ended up with a higer average than Newman in last years Prem league useing your thought process what does that make him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJK86 180 Posted February 14, 2017 If i was building a side i would go with Howarth, Auty is the more exciting rider as in never gives up but like at Sheffield in recent years you build a side on entertaining and you end up with injury after injury to these never give up riders.Howarth knows when to just settle in behind if he knows he isn't going be quick enough to make a pass. Howarth had a very good 2016 for Wolves and Sheffield which will give him more confidence going into 2017 season, Auty has the ability to go far but do fear his progression has slowed to much, more so in the now Premiership. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
