whistlegang 88 Posted December 17, 2018 Morley and Wood in the same team. Wow. I think RTD will fill the heat leader role just fine, and Verge finally looks to be making progress. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Islander15 1,061 Posted December 17, 2018 7 hours ago, waco said: Sings for speedway has a point the middle order have no one who could fill a heat leader role.However the top end will score big everywhere,much will depend on the improvement of the reserves, if one of them can move up to the top five,,they will do ok ,at least win regularly at home.. I see the point about the 3rd heat leader but realistically the way the team is built Morley & Wood will always get heat 15 and will always be competitive. So it’s only in the 3 races that the 3 & 4 race together that we might be lacking in but RTD & Verge should be able to comfortably beat opposition second strings and reserves at home and with having 2 big hitters you wouldn’t expect to track a high averaged 3rd heat leader to rival the likes of Jenkins or Phillips anyway. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
