My thought is fantastic to see Rusty back riding - when I read about accident and injuries I was convinced he would be out for season and probably quit altogether - Good Luck to him, hope it goes well

That won't be the Witches Team as Nielsen will be at Leicester with Belle Vue

[Baldyman 6,243]

I'm visiting Workington to watch this. Not expecting us to get anything, but I want to see plenty of effort.

[ZODIAK 304]

I'm getting a bit cheesed off with the Witches at the moment and have lost interest. This 6 man team and R/R nonsense hasn't helped.

 

Why haven't we brought in a temporary replacement for Heeps if he was to be out this long? I know rider availability can be an issue but the R/R points haven't been all that good so the replacement wouldn't have to be a world beater to do better.

 

R/R isn't quite so bad (although still annoying) if the other 6 are on form but they're not so R/R becomes even more of a pain in the arse.

[Baldyman 6,243]

I'm sort of with you on that one, but will be watching at Workington and Glasgow, but I've lost a bit of interest in home matches, what with the fact they struggle to ride our own track.

A four man Rye House team got within 8pts of Worky last week, could have snatched a draw in ht15.

Will be interesting to see if Hansen continues to struggle or suddenly finds some form now the LC is out of the way and his nice new average has enabled the team switch

[Shadders 4,135]

How bad must you be to drop 3 points off your starting average?

[Django 159]

We will see now he has a real average, I think he'll end up around 6.5.

 

Well done to Kyle on becoming number 1, thoroughly deserved on this years form, I'm glad to be proved wrong

[Brummiestormer 172]

Looking forward to our visit to Derwent Park to support our ex Brummie riders for Ipswich---hoping for a good match and no rain!

Cynically accurate.

[SCB 0]

I said at the start of the year Workington team was pants in part due to Hansens near 8 point average. But now I say that team looks pretty bloody good, in part due to Hansens 4.5 average. Could see them surge up the table and make the play-offs.

[topgun 10]

Will Barrett up his game when he comes back or will he just be the same I wonder
