Hans had a couple of very bad crashes, Harris had a home track that clearly he didn't enjoy,Iversen only did a few meetings for Ipswich at the end of the season and who wouldn't want Scott Nicholls at reserve! It takes some believing how low their averages are now and they will have Hans and Harris as second strings, if they all got back to 2018 levels which in my opinion is very possible then making the play offs will not be a problem. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They could all put a point on if things go their way. And all a year older. Natural decline. Personally I think they’ll all finish with very similar averages to which they’re starting the season with. Time will tell obviously. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They obviously all need to avoid crashes and knocks to have better years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They may be a year older but most will have decent head on their shoulders that has been gained through years of experience. My take on these situation is that the older rider will always be relied upon when the situation needs it. An experience rider can have an off day and only score 7s or 8s, whereas a lesser rider will have an off day and only score 4s and 5s. From watching more young riders than I care to remember, give me an experienced one every time.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They must have something lined up. If they know this is a temp deal then they’d be stupid to not have a contingency. Bjerre will end up at either of there or Peterborough if Iversen does the same as Niki. I have to say it bothers me that this type of conversation happens. They have committed to the league and should see out a full season. What makes you think they’ll go? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From what I hear NKI is only foung a few ml ths till bjerre can come. Regarding nicki the word on the street is he will give it a few months himself. If hes enjoying himself he will stay. If it's to much he will drop UK. Hope he does stay though Personally I think he will enjoy himself and therefore stay all season 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He said, and Steady said, that he is here for the season when he was at Owlerton the other week, he is not in the GP,s so he is not warming up for those. Love to know who has talked to Nikki to find this information out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Love to know who has talked to Nikki to find this information out Some people move in different circles to the ones others do, you shouldn’t judge others by your standards. I also said if. I personally don’t have a clue but I trust a man that does, and he’s posted not too long ago on this thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
