But back on topic as I say I fancy the Monarchs to just edge this over the two legs. Poole fans have only responded to others. Back to the topic, I disagree I think Leicester will be back to form over the two legs and win comfortably. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wee Eck 703 Posted September 23, 2022 Monarchs have come into form at the right time with their less experienced riders now having had a full season. On the other hand, Leicester seem to have peaked and are on the way down, so I expect a comfortable win tonight, maybe 52-38 with a score in the 40s tomorrow to see them through to the final. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just don't see that myself, I think Leicester have better riders overall and they will bounce back. This team did top the league table, one bad result doesn't mean that they are a terrible team now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,833 Posted September 23, 2022 (edited) I think Leicester's inactivity over the past 6-7 weeks will bite them on the bum as it did in the cup, very hard to ride back into form once the rust has set in. Monarchs to score big tonight and finish the job tomorrow. Edited September 23, 2022 by Bagpuss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soupy 556 Posted September 23, 2022 Will be pretty close over the two legs but overall I think Leicester will come out on top and just hope the weather plays ball. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tinker 213 Posted September 23, 2022 Edinburgh for me. As someone has already mentioned, they seem to be running into form at the right time. Can always count on Masters and Pickering for a bag full of points so I think a lot will depend on the contributions of Thomson and Castagna. Edinburgh are certainly the dark horses to be crowned champions. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Should have said relative inactivity, Edinburgh (and Poole) been far busier in the last couple of months. Edited September 23, 2022 by Bagpuss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vs Glasgow it would be tighter but I think we’d still fall short. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
