Dandelion 775 Posted March 1, 2021 Sure I read in the Monarchs that Mitchell Davey is making a return? Dunno how true that rumour is and what Mitchell is up to these days, but his previous NL average was 8.61, so not a bad shout for a number 5? Of course whoever will be the Monarchs' number 7 may strongly dictate who the final riders are... 1. Nathan Greaves 9.22 2. 3. 4. George Rothery 3.00 5. Mitchell Davey 8.61 6. Lewis Millar 3.00 7. Gregor Millar 3.00 Total: 26.83 Left: 8.17 Harry McGurk /Dale Lamb (If he still rides???) 3.00 would leave 5.17 for the final rider. The only logical rider who would fit now would be Scott Campos, but I would highly doubt he'd travel the whole length of the country to ride for a team he has no connection with (As far as I'm aware) Other riders to consider may be Ben Woodhull (3.67) Paul Bowen (3.36) Sheldon Davies (3.00) David Wallinger (3.87) Shelby Rutherford (3.61) Tom Young (3.00) Alex Goldsbrough (3.00) Another reserve option... Hmmm, interesting times ahead, don't think it'll be a very strong team, but a couple big hitting, experienced riders to help 4 or 5 young, Scottish talents along, that's what this leagues all about Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mac101 1,201 Posted March 1, 2021 (edited) think dale would be a great shout but thinks he is not racing this year but the wooley brothers might just fit in or jack Parkinson Edited March 1, 2021 by mac101 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That must be a new rule as when Leicester & Crawley competed in the NT they had riders from other teams Edited March 1, 2021 by TMW Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And tom comes in on a 6.69 average so hes far too high to fit in the team. I suspect tom will be at belle vue if they run alongside connor bailey and danny Phillip's or jack smith Jpb WAY over the limit assuming greaves had resigned. Which I've heard is a 99% certainty... let's see what happens... either way looks like an interesting team for dale Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All teams do look weak compared to how the NL used to be, it's a very weak league now, but that's what it's all about, a lot of young up and comers, they won't win the league... But they sure will develop some youngsters. Interesting hearing about this Scottish championship thing. Is there any 10-15 year old Scots knocking about that anyone can tell us about.

Islander15 1,065 Posted March 5, 2021 Decent top 3 but an awfully weak bottom 4. I feel for which 2 of the newbies are stuck at number 2 & 4 unable to get a reserve race to score any points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or are the reserves set for the season? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
