If Beau signs, would he be a 5?  Lawson Beau Will Cooper Lewi Slater leaves an awkward 4.3 for the final rider, Newman Jenkins Kennet all too high.    i like Lewi but not sure about him being at 5. I’d look to have Klindt, Ellis or King at 5, and then Southwick or a different lower average 7.  Lawson and another great rider at 5 would take the pressure of a young rest of the team. 

A perfectly acceptable situation....

Slater Lightcap will not get an average this season & will return (If all parties agree) on his assessed 4.00 average. I will put my prediction pin in Beau Bailey becoming a member of the Pirate's next season to make a strong reserve partnership with the American with Cairns & Rushen as second strings. The other 3 spots are open for discussion.

You could have been even more upbeat, cos Berwick are still on for a double, granted 58-31 down after BSN first leg. But after Saturday's performance skys the limit.

The forecast in the 3 days leading up to the meeting was all over the place. At the time of call off it was very poor after looking like we would miss the rain the day before. It remained a poor forecast until Sat morning when there appeared a chance it may not be as bad. It was definitely the right call based on the information at the time, the BBC forecast proved once again to be nothing if not variable. It did rain later in the evening.

Not having Jenkins due to hospital calling him back at Workington and Redcar probaly cost us 2 wins. Also Edinburgh away no Kildemand or Jenkins again has probably cost us a playoff place
