Of course there are. You know they all declined? If so, it backs my comment. Harris would give all for GB, doubt he would ever decline and is miles ahead of Ellis. 

He isnt and has failed at this level lots of times before!!

Clearly. Worrall rides in Poland every week and is a decent gater. Certainly a better bet than Ellis or Brennan.

Would that be the same Worrall who is 35th in the league with a 6.00 average, whilst Ellis is 3rd with 10.00?

Racing in the UK, not Poland!

Didn't Tai disagree with Allen when asked about picks for 17-20? 

 

Not sure your point? A captain is allowed to disagree with the team manager & the team manager doesn't have to do what the captain wants!

Gavlar, please do us us all a favour and and stop with this everything anti Poole. Ellis is out of his depth. Should never have been picked, Can’t understand why he was. Many riders with much higher averages. Harris, without doubt a much better option. 

But not higher averages in the Polish league!

I'm not suggesting Ellis did well tonight, did win a heat thought, I'm saying he's the 4th best rider on Polish form, so the sensible option for 4th rider. Whoever is the 4th rider in the final is unlikely to score much at all.

I think he would. There wasn’t that much competition. It’s all about opinions.

Not really a comparison. The opposition was poor. But hey ho, let’s move on to the final because we will need all at their best.

As to why team GB needs two dick heads to run the thing beggars belief.

Yeah, there are plenty of dick heads on the BSF who could do an equally poor job!

Thought it was a poor meeting, track was terrible.

[Cast1rn 464]

What I don't understand is why the stadium was 90% empty?

The tickets were 20 quid a shot, they would've known what the attendance was looking like based on the online sales so surely could've dumped a load of free tickets for the locals to come along?

[DJC 251]

Thought Ellis did well in the two he scored points in but as soon as the track changed a little and he was off 2/3 he didn’t look like quick enough to challenge.

Thats where the managers should have given Brennan a run for me, he did very well to come in so late and make an impact.
