szkocjasid 3,044 Posted April 8, 2023 Fantastic effort so far by Berwick at Leicester. I thought Leicester would be far too strong for them! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not because they looked awful, but because they looked slightly weak in a league full of very strong teams (on paper). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gambo95 91 Posted April 30, 2023 How long is Archie going to be out for? If Berwick are a couple of points below the limit and he is going to be out for a while, I wonder if there is anyone to strengthen the team with. See Mason still hasn't scored a point yet this season so R/R not much use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

See Mason still hasn't scored a point yet this season so R/R not much use. Very limited options even with almost 2 points spare. Bebee would fit for Watson and Kingston would fit in place of Freeman (haven't counted if a double switch fits). Berwick have been fortunate Halder has started the year well but theres a couple of passengers in the side. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its still a speedway league and out of form riders get dropped....unless there is competition for places the standard will only continue to drop. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

allthegearbutnaeidea 1,735 Posted May 1, 2023 Berwick’s not going to drop Watson, it was the whole idea of the Courtney’s set up. He had never rode a speedway bike until he rode at Duns, then into the NJL team, then into the NL team, and he’s a Berwicker 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do they refuse to drop Watson because it's a development league, which also means Rathbone won't get to develop? Would they drop a 5 point Freeman for a 4 point Rathbone despite having 7 points to play with? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
