He's seen first hand how r/r has screwed over Somerset, but if the guest isn't a Swindon rider I think we should risk using r/r.

If the guest is not a Swindon rider, I'd be worried. The only riders we can get from Leicester and Wolves are second string at best. Morris, Ellis, Musilek (if he can be tempted off his hols!) or even Bellego would be okay.

Chris' bike set up was completely changed for H15 apparently, the mechanic (Matt Read??) decided if Chris was going to win that they needed to set the bike up so it could go as flat out as possible.

Cos it should be HL +SS R+R HL+SS and HL +R. Nice and even, otherwise it's really strong one race, weaker the other race (H1+3) Edit - I swear it is in Brady's contract that he has to be in H13. Has never been pulled out of it even if the reserves have been miles better and not even 2nd highest rider and still in H13!! Also - Good job we can't have Hans as a guest looking at his score tonight

It's a bit confusing when Josh still rides in a second strong position. Should be at 5 really.

Well Brady has got be one of the most inconsistent riders in the league, his scores can be anything between 3 and 14. That's why I get frustrated when people saying he'll score this... How do they know? His score home and away could be anything! So I have gone for 7-8 which is somewhere in the middle!

Yes but Brady wasn't at no1 anymore, bit less pressure which seems to be his biggest problem. Really on Monday he should have been at 3/4 not 5 as still pressure to win races when you are with a reserve and still have H13. I feel a bit uncomfortable heavily criticising someone who is now injured, believe me I have criticised him a lot in the past 6 weeks or so, have had massive debates with the Brady fan club about it! But 7-8 points for him has got to be the aim imo.

Those home meetings at least a month ago though. Form can change a lot in that time. How many did Brady get at Somerset in the 1st leg?

Plus we don't even know what replacement we have for Brady yet, so how anyone can work out it's stronger is laughable.

Haters gonna hate! Doesn't matter what Poole do it is always going to be less than what they should be doing in his eyes.

Why is it brainless? Looked like he was just trying to get to the outside line but ran out of room.

They are trying to bring a coach down.

Well you can't blame people getting confused when the second highest rider rides at no2!!!

Is it still a council owned car park though? From what I remember the daytime charges can be a big steep!

That was the only thing that was missing from that post!

Are you Delia Smith??

He's had some really good meetings this season with the odd duff one. I'd definitely have him back next season, only going to improve.

Doesn't change the fact that if any team is using r/r you should be made to have a no8 at the meeting, otherwise you could be screwed.

Who wants to go to Italy anyway Batch is being mentioned on Twitter, well he hates KL so that's a plus

On the coldest day of the week too!

Mine's not an idea, it's the rules!

But we're on this season...

3 golden heats....? Whether that is an extra 3 proper heats or just 3 run offs I don't know!

Also I would say Howarth is a better gater than Summers which is what you need at Poole.

Let's hope it's the only thing he wins!
