Gambo95 91 Posted October 16, 2022 With the 2022 season over for the Bandits, it's time to look towards 2023. I would like to see Chris and Leon back. Hopefully get Jonas and his brother unless they get fixed up in the main leagues in Poland. Like to see Ace get a place at reserve. Others depend on the team average.

Ace a at least a season away from a champ place Edited October 16, 2022 by mc131 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And look at his u21 effort, beat some very decent riders that night 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What is the obsession with Speedway fans of putting riders in before there ready its rarely done in other sports Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They really need to put a cap on who is too good to ride in this league. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HGould 2,213 Posted October 16, 2022 Bickley is probably a better example of how confidence can be shot if promoted too soon. Harry McGurk too. Ace needs another NDL season and occasional chances in CL if reserves missing or as No 8 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ace should be given the same chance. Ace Pijper is no where near Championship level and it would be a mistake to rush him into the 2023 team. One more year at NDL racing will do him much more good. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rumours last Saturday night Chris and Leon are Oxford bound.Think it's to early for Ace,but Worky done it with Kyle and had not to bad a season, agree about Jonas and his brother.

spin king junior 394 Posted October 16, 2022 (edited) Thank it'd be a massive mistake for Berwick to run with Ace. Unless the points limit gets dramatically reduced. Being realistic, Berwick won't be running with a top heavy side and if thongs stay the way they are then it runs the risk of Berwick going under the limit once again.
