Yeah but we’ve only got one Josh, plenty injuries and Dayle Don’t even mention Cookie as he has our full support, posters on here obviously weren’t at Armadale last Friday.

And I wish your point was even remotely accurate - might’ve meant that we’d actually have won some home meetings this season!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he's available then Harrison would be a terrific signing. I still think Dayle Wood wouldn't be so much of a concern if he was in a similar situation to Nathan Abllitt last season when Poole's top order were so strong that they could afford to compensate for him. Edinburgh's top order this season have not been at their best with injuries etc., and the middle order has been all over the place this season. A top six place for the Monarchs is all that is necessary and then changes can take place before the play-off/group stages if needed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nathan was deliberately used to allow Poole to have King, Worrall and Lawson. He was required to score 0, he never road in heat 8, only had 3 rides and reserve switched from heat 12-9 to give Zach Cook/Ben Cook 2 shots at the opposition's 7. Was complete tactical genius from Poole. This year with the drop to 40 points everyone except Poole have a 2 pointer and now your seeing who of the two pointers are competing. Very surprised Edinburgh stuck with Dale, they've got a whole NDL team to try out and see who could make it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
