Premiership playoff final 2nd leg heat 14 Justin went from last to first passing Blodorn then Brennan. Think it's more down to the Birmingham track than his ability to overtake. Anyway wasn't it Scott instead of Nick Morris that you wanted? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anything less than a 4.00 would be an insult for "the hottest property to come from Australia since Darcy Ward" - as he was hyped-up, at the start of the year. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not at all true; he won plenty of races, including one at Leicester. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plenty - 6 in the whole season 3H & 3A, a 4 pt rider that averaged just over 2. I saw him on 2 occasions home and away against Glasgow and he scored 1 in both meetings. A wee boy who looked out of his depth. With all the 2pt reserves and in a second season hopefully he'll do better next year 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Petecc 354 Posted December 28, 2022 So it's predictions time. Who will be the seventh rider. An experienced rider from overseas, a British rider with years of experience or an un known German? (Wild guesses only.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who's likely to retire after a couple of meetings so that the Brummies can revert to type by employing a season's worth of tactical guest riders? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hell definitely need more core strength and its a shame he doesn't appear to qualify for NDL as that would have boosted his development. He seems emotionally mature though which will serve him well and his winter results have shown real progress in his own environment. If he and Brummies persevere no reason why he can't hit 4 plus in 23 and then improve again. Let's not forget he arrived as a 16 year old not in his early 20s like some he's been unfairly compared with. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
