OdsalBoy 181 Posted August 15, 2018 Thought i'd get the ball rolling on this one, 2 new faces in the side after a controversial week, personally i think the Andersen signing makes us weaker, and after already coming off the back of 3 home defeats i think we could be run close here again too. Weather - from what i have seen forecast wise so far this should be on, cloudy with sunny intervals. Thoughts please ...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Weather - from what i have seen forecast wise so far this should be on, cloudy with sunny intervals. Thoughts please ...... probably right on this one.i think we may be a bit stronger at reserve and this could sway the meeting for us.cant really comment too much on the andersen front but its not really that area that concerns me, what does concern me is whether other members of the team can get back to more consistent scoring.if newcastle come with their tales up and the tigers ride like they have done over the last few weeks at home then i fear the worse. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

diamond@heart 399 Posted August 15, 2018 Easy win for the Tigers in my eyes, even if you have lost the last 3, we are never strong at Sheffield and the Newcastle team has not performed well away from home, nice confidence boosting win for the Tigers. Probably good to face the Diamonds whilst bedding in two new riders, 60 - 30 to the Tigers, would love it to be a win for the Diamonds but just can't see where the race wins will come from, plus I think Garrity makes you stronger. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

True, but in the previous meeting Sheffield hit us with 4 5-1's in the first 5 heats and after that it was game over, I appreciate that Sheffield riders form of late has dropped but if we start slow as usual and the fact we have no big riders to win vital heats, 13 and 15, I still say you will be too strong. I would love Newcastle to prove me wrong, 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Third Man 2,216 Posted August 15, 2018 cant believe numbers 3 and 4, a decent pair against them and it could be 3 1 - 5s conceded. why isn't kurtz at 4 to give some strength in the middle of the team think this could go either way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jenga 2,998 Posted August 15, 2018 sorry to say this ,but it looks like an AWAY win for the diamonds . bedding in one newbie , jase crash , bang wallop . the rest are not good and with newc something to prove . a 4th defeat is on the cards . so , deemonds win , tight tho .

Charlieboy 412 Posted August 15, 2018 Hopefully the team sheet is wrong.Todd has got to be at 4 surely.I think it's too risky to have Broc and Anderson together if it was hans Anderson fair enough.Hoping for a home win but not overly confident.Good luck to both new boys tomorrow hope they score big points .

I hate to admit it but Sheffield just seem to be sinking deeper in the mire with each week that passes. On current showing the Diamonds have to be favourites.
