ShyTalk 22 Posted July 17, 2021 Just done a quick comparison, for Sheffield's starting seven, comparing their starting averages, to their average for this year to date. The increase or decrease as follows, Holder + 1.73 Ellis + 1.41 Howarth +0.72 Sedgemen + 0.22 Wright - 0.14 Batchelor - 2.53 Bates -2.77. Whist I believe that making the change of Pickering for Sedgemen does improve the team, does make you feel some sympathy that Sedgemen lost his place. Also shows some reasons why Sheffield could struggle to make the play offs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Charlieboy 412 Posted July 18, 2021 We are currently a 4 man team with 3 iffy riders. If Bachelor can get consistent and we can replace the reserves we could be very competitive in the top 4 but while we’ve got Bachelor in erratic form and wright doing nothing after heat 2 and Bates being a liability we are going to be lucky to qualify for the play offs as these stats prove 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Halifordukesfan 60 Posted July 19, 2021 Josh Auty would be a better bet than Batchelor & would allow a bit of freedom for other changes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t expect him to get double figures everywhere but he’s more experienced than Kemp Brennan Rowe who often score more than 3 points !!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OdsalBoy 181 Posted July 20, 2021 Wouldnt say no to Auty returning if possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hasn’t done anything in the top flight before. To replace Batchelor?? Most bizarre move if that was to happen and would guarantee bottom spot. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andrew 125 Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) If Troy's trying to get his rolling average down to join a CL team he's doing a reasonable job of it. Starting rolling average 8.82 July rolling average 8.33 Current rolling average (as of 15/07) 7.67 Actual season average 6.05.
