woodenspoon 157 Posted December 23, 2019 Palin ,Bickley and Bailey a good top three ,but a very long tail, will be a battle all year for the reserve spots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TurnTwo 317 Posted December 23, 2019 I agree I think Woodhull had a bit of a bad season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunner85 603 Posted December 23, 2019 Pleased with the tam. with such a high average in 2019, this is a really good team 3 good heat leaders and scope for improvement from the other 4 members of the team Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HGould 2,213 Posted December 23, 2019 Good luck to the Fixture planner getting that top 3 to ride in every Match with then riding for Friday and Saturday night CL Teams. Potent top 3 but a long tail unless someone really improves (McGurk possibly can) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Islander15 1,062 Posted December 23, 2019 That’s a very good team. Probably the most consistent top 3 the league will seem next year. Maybe weak in the second string positions but Woodhull, Rathbone & Bowen all know the NSS well and it’s a team that can get a good home lead over a play-off fixture. McGurk looked badly down on power on the big tracks last year so will be intriguing to see how he copes but they’ll always have a strong second reserve. Lots of average improvements potential, even in the top end with particularly Bailey’s average destined to go north. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
szkocjasid 2,983 Posted December 23, 2019 Shame Leon Flint gets dropped because as a 16 year old improving young Brit he's what the National "development" League should be all about! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
