That said, I do still fear for this wolves team on the road, as solid as it is, they still haven’t replaced Freddie. You need someone who can win the big races away and I don’t see it in this team. Like I said though, easily a play off team but like Swindon I think it will be just a touch short. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We had to suffer whilst he was achieving it He was 7,03 when he rode for Wolves in 2016 and in those meetings he rode his actual average has therefore gone up due to those scores so 7.03 is not even a true figure. That at said he won't be returning even if he was 3.07 as he is not interested On 18 December 2018 at 9:24 AM, foreverblue said: I can't see Tai or Pawlicki riding in the uk for the foreseeable future, too expensive at a time when some teams are cutting costs. It's not so much the expense as they know they wouldn't get anything like the money they get in Poland, it's more to do with the tracks here not being up to standard. However Pawlicki has just Poland and if he returned here it would be to get meetings under his belt as he admitted he needed more meetings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would you not consider Pawlicki as a rider that is a true number one and a rider capable of winning big races away. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can’t see how it can be standard of tracks a rider of his ability can ride any track. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m working on the basis that you’ll complete with Thorssell and Morris. Jacob traditionally struggles on the road. If it’s Pawliki then that changes everything. Easily the strongest team in the league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ouch 1,191 Posted December 20, 2018 If it’s like last year 36 points, equivalent to winning all your home meetings and you’re in the playoffs where injuries and ringers then win you the “league”. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Either way Wolves are very strong,Thorssell considering he was coming back from a nasty injury and riding in a tough no1 role it was not a disaster.Away he had four double figure scores and two paid double figure scores out of 13 matches average .He can put at least half a point on his average Pawlicki well i am a big fan of his if they go that way they will be no worse off i love watching Piotr ride.I dont know if Wolves are banking on Howarth being at reserve? at home they will be a tough nut to crack.

With Becker and the expected Ashley Morris at reserve, all things being equal, I would not expect any of the Top 5 including Howarth to drop to reserve. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's only five places left (at Newcastle and Eastbourne) and no prospect of him being signed unless he could come in on a 5 average for Eastbourne (who might also have Nick Morris) instead of the anticipated Ben Morley.

Jacob was 6th best away average overall in 2017 so not traditional at all. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
