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 Edited December 23, 2021 by szkocjasid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Johnson 285 Posted December 23, 2021 I would argue Josh Pickering has been the best away rider but Bjarne was unstoppable on his first ever visit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ian68 47 Posted December 23, 2021 (edited) One of the best performances from an away rider for me was Rasmus Jensen for Glasgow a couple of seasons back Edited December 23, 2021 by Ian68 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Makes it harder to get a high average 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 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
