Gavan 5,049 Posted November 27, 2017 Haertel will need time to settle in. So Heeps needs to ride consistently good away from home. Cams last away matches with the last match away at Peterborough. He rode at Peterborough, Sheffield (twice), Workington, and Scunthorpe as a heat leader so im more than happy that from a second string berth , Heeps will do just fine 12 @ Peterborough 8+1 @ Sheffield 6+1 @ Sheffield 8+2 @ Workington 13 @ Scunthorpe 3 @ Newcastle 6+2 @ Berwick 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IronScorpion 1,407 Posted November 27, 2017 Heeps was quite superb that day at Scunny, Id have like him at Scunny That's when a good manager comes in to play in moving your team around. Having Heeps at 2 when King was on form, you might get lower points from him whereas if he rides at 3 or 4, his team mate is generally on a par so can then bag the big points when on form.

Sidney the robin 4,735 Posted November 27, 2017 (edited) A very good side i think Heeps for me is the key at times last year he really impressed me just needs that bit more consistency.Both the reserves are promising,Hume really has ability and is decent at home Mountain improved as the season went along and the German also has a good reputation this side will be mighty hard to beat at home i recon.

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,695 Posted December 1, 2017 (edited) Being able to track almost the same team year on year is the best policy where possible. Yes you need a fresh face or two from time to time but loyalty and continuity much preferred in my book.

Traditionally as we all know you usually go with the “weakest” rider at 2 and as Hartel is new to the league and an unknown quantity, think we’ll start off with him at 2. Rory at 5 and Heeps and Covatti in the engine room. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree with this being most likely, another thought tho could be to place rory at 3 with haertel at 4, rory is the best team ride in the team and then have Cameron/nico at 2/5 either way round...

Baldyman 6,243 Posted December 12, 2017 (edited) With a team being able to use tactical in heat 14 then surely we want a strong number 4 home and away? So I would have Covatti at 4 and heeps at 3. The opposition may have their number 1 in heats 13 14 and 15. Edited December 12, 2017 by Baldyman 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree with that, heat 14 becomes even more crucial with the new tactical ruling... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree with that baldy, my only reasoning was to have rory with haertel, riding at 2 with king will mean he’s left to his own devices, king don’t look for a partner very often, he’s head down and go as fast I can. Maybe rory will be at no. 1 after the first averages anyways ya never know!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
