Aaron Summers seems a great acquisition and Hume seems to be developing well, early season there were times I felt he looked a little uneasy on the bends but the Wictches reserves really had the advantage on their counterpatrts last night. Felt for the Wolves as Worrall would I am sure have contributed a few more points for them!! When Riss was injured I did worry about the Witches for the playoffs but Summers certainly seems to have more than replaced him at Foxhall. Batch also ended the meeting well with 2 lightning gates and wins, team rode well in heat 15 with Doyle. The only worry is Starke - he could have scored a couple more than he did but I felt for him last night as he had Masters and Worrall in heat 1 Nick Morris in heat 6, he was pulled from heat 8 and the again he had Becker who passed him in heat 10 - so being at no 2 is tough. Starke is the potential weak link I'm afraid. One minute he can be great and really make a contribution, the next he's breaking down or dog slow. You'll always get 100% effort on track, he's brave as they come. But he's had the same short comings for pretty much all his career. If he gave the same effort in the workshop as he does on track he would have achieved so much more. You can't constantly turn up rebuilding bikes in the pits before meetings and expect to not have issues. Sometimes you get away with it, sometimes not. Number 2 is a hard place to ride, and at home having 6,8, & 10 with little respite between is hard on equipment. But until that leopard changes his spots, the inconsistencies will remain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think some Wolves fans quoted Dillon Ruml as being able to fit? But that was a few months ago, so probably different average then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes - too high Castagna, Zac Cook and Dan Gilkes (if fit - he had an after meeting spin on Wednesday) All of them have their plus points, but unless Kemp actively wants out I'd stick with him.
