Allen will be the number 1 by the first ave change, especially by years end, smarter and better team rider

If Allen is a better team rider, will he not be finishing behind his partner every time they get a 5-1 or 3-3? Makes it harder to get a high average

WOW… theres positive thinking and theres this!! 

At Home

2 x Heatleaders (No Number 1)

3 x Second Strings

1 x Reserve 

1 x Passenger 

Away

2 x Heatleaders (No Number 1)

3 x Reserves

2 x Passengers 

its a side that wont dominate at home and will get embarrassed away 

I'll counter that with:

At Home

3 x heatleaders (No Number 1)

2 x second strings

1 x decent reserve 

1 x passenger 

 

Away

2 x heatleaders

3 x weak second strings / strong reserves

1 x average reserve

1 x passenger

One of the best performances from an away rider for me was Rasmus Jensen for Glasgow a couple of seasons back

Consistant points ,the secret to high av ,while staying injury free, not about finishing ahead of team mate but to look for team mate as I’ve seen him do many times around scunny, so many different lines to bring ya team mate through ,scorpions are due for some luck next year with injuries and they have the team I think that will bring victories both home and away,how can they miss the cup with so many qlders in there mix

??????????? Puzzled!

Why not Birmingham or Edinburgh? Who do you not like in their teams?

Why go against Oxford & Poole? Who do you like in their teams?
