Utter rubbish. Do you think that 1,1,1,1,1 =5 and being on the wrong end of 5 5-1s is as good as 1,1,1,1,1 = 5 and beating five opponents? All that really matters is how many opposition riders have been beaten. In the example above, that has generated so much heat and so little light, all three riders had beaten six opponents in their first four rides making their contributions equally valuable.

Yes.   With a facility they can use a 2.00 guest from another CL team. With a "reduced facilty"  because he's below 2.65 they couldn't use the 75% option and would have to use a NDL rider.

Changing topic (and not that it makes any difference to the outcome) did anyone else notice the coin toss it sounded like Tobias Musielak called tails and when heads came out Jason Harrold (who I think does a good job) said heads it is and gave Tobi the call who chose 1 and 3. Maybe a case of mishearing/accent. 

Well, Bandits made hard work of that one. Bastian Borke needs to stay in Denmark and focus on his fitness. He looked lost out there. But for Drew and Cookie this could’ve been embarrassing. Good to see Dale Wood in the points, a definite upgrade on Hodder. Tough weekend ahead with three meetings in three days. I can see the Bandits getting something from Armadale, but I fear they’ll get found out at home to Redcar on Saturday. 

Kerr is still settling in. If he does it halfway through the season then I might agree with you. Plus Lewi has it harder than Tom as they put Tom at 3 for first few weeks of last season whilst he was settling in. 

Plymouth HL = 9pts Poole HL = 27pts Maybe Kerr isn't the problem ?
