I thought so to, and also thought it would be a great idea... World No2, pretty much guaranteed to hit you 12 and over at home, so would "protect" races, thus keeping the score close at worst, and do it from the back if needed... A "new hero", for the kids in particular, to latch onto... I thought, given it was a "collective", who made it clear how important it was to launch a sixth team, that they would have sorted them out a very competitive team.. They seem to have settled on two number 3's, three second strings, and two reserves...

I know the feeling think it was 86 when I was following Lynn and we had Bob Schwartz and pretty much six reserves all season, other than the odd time when Mike Lee turned up it still sits with me when we used to be in with a sniff but would enter the last race with Schwartz and Campbell v Neilson and Wigg.

Bandits need to win big, to ensure bonus point next week.  Aggregate wins will be required to qualify for playoffs this year

Who knows Taps but he has his big chance to impress here. If he does well, that will certainly give them something to think about. Might need to be quick though because he’s already catching the eye.
