At start of season I'd probably have taken him over Lee, but he's not improved like I expected based on his scores in polish U24s. I do prefer guys on the way up than those on way down but no sure would make any difference 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Noelinho 922 Posted June 17, 2023 If you’re going to replace Lee, it has to be a clear upgrade. For all his inconsistency, he has a great rapport with the fans. There would be a lot of unhappy people if he was sent away and the replacement wasn’t clearly scoring better. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cast1rn 464 Posted June 17, 2023 If there was a stronger 4 pointer out there I'm sure Glasgow would already have snapped them up. The way the team was built this year all the pressure was going to be on Lee to compensate for an up and coming 16 year old at 7. The reality is our 7 is scoring above and beyond his average our 6 is struggling is to meet his. Unless there's a hidden Aussie superstar that hasn't raced in Poland or Denmark before, waiting back south of the equator for his chance to shine then I feel it may be a limp end to the season when the stronger reserve pairings come calling.

He revelled in that in his spell with the bandits He struggles to hold the inside coming off the bends at Ashfield whether slick or deep, often gifting the rider behind a pass having done the hard bit of getting in front of them in the first place. Those single points are what could make or break us in the play offs. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Come back when it's you're heat leaders that aren't scoring points We have six riders who are delivering the goods, and one who is inconsistent. We are on a good place, and certainly better than it has been for a few years. At least as strong as 2019, I’d say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
