Can't work out if we were that good or the Rebels that poor. They had their moments tho. Tungate held 2nd well in heat 1. The reserves gated for a potentially maximum heat until Graversen threw away 2nd with a poor 3rd bend on the 2nd lap. Hougaard got outsmarted on the final bend in the 3rd. Starke had a couple of great races. Besides fair effort from Allen it was a tough night for the travelling Rebel army fans. Probably the lowest crowd of the season for the weakest opposition so far. Track rode a lot slicker I thought and times not as quick as usual. Too much of a dominant show for the league leaders who generally controlled proceedings limiting the visitors to pick up the odd scrap. Schlein epitomised that with Starke in heat 12 as he knew precisely where he would be attacking from. Roo boy run straight to the fence on the back straight to kill all his speed. Greaves had enough in the tank to stay ahead of him for 4 laps. Some dodgy decisions by May for the Rebels - the TR for Allen in heat 8 was a schoolboy error and Hougaard on a TR against Fred? Odd. WOLVES FRED - untouchable. In a different league this season. 5/5 KYLE - did his job perfectly. Decent effort. 3.5/5 ROO - dropped a single point to Tungate in heat 5. Steady and attacking in equal measures. 4.5/5 JACOB - first 5 ride 5 wins this season, ignoring the paid variety. Quickest Wolves rider tonight. 5/5 MOTM SAM - another solid night. 3.5/5 MARK - lowest scorer but had very little to beat as had Graversen 3 times. Beat Rebels number one. 2.5/5 NATHAN - our best reserve. Scored in each heat. Looking more stable and prepared to attack. Getting better each time I see him. 3.5/5 REBELS Tungate - started off okay ended poorly. 2/5 Starke - sounded awful in his first couple of heats then looked awfully quick. Until Heat 15. 2.5/5 RR - scored zero. Wright would have got 3 or 4. Hougaard - this was an average Monmore showing from the Dane. 2/5 Grajczonek - thought he had a bit of fight in heat 4, I was wrong. 0.5/5 Allen - fair first effort at the Green. Certainly had his moments. 2.5/5 Graversen - dreadful, and that's being kind.0/5

He didn't return to the pits as he would have been excluded for doing so. He had his helmet colour changed on the back straight.

Never drink the stuff. I guess that's part of your problem.

You clearly haven't smelled the coffee yet. It would have to be yea.

You wouldn't want the most in form and top rider this season to guest???? Deal. Garrity is available next time you come calling.

Don't think you can get rid of James can you as who is your 2nd rider who has ridden in the NL besides Kyle?

All of their top 5 have had good moments at Monmore. Allen as far as I know hasn't ridden it before. Graversen I think has without doing much.

Yes he does, Smederna. That's another one that can't. Like Vaculik. List getting shorter.

Or assessed 7 for any newcomers like they did for Lindback last season.

12 point home win.

I had already pointed out that Vaculik wouldn't be able to. He rides in 3 leagues including his own so would be prevented under the Polish ruling. It will be who actually wants to ride here, so choices will be limited. Better hope it's a decent one. Although in fairness most riders would be an improvement on the awful Pole. On a more serious note bad luck to KK. It's never good to hear of injuries to any riders.

you need a new number one. KK is virtually useless. Couple weeks these days.

Lewis will be on 6.26

And zero chance of Drabik coming.

I can only agree with that. It would be pretty easy to calculate their foreign teams averages into a workable one to use in the UK. Would seem a fair way. Particularly if a rider hasn't ridden in the UK for 2 seasons. It does seem they have sorted a system of new or former top flight riders returning to the league if last season's assessed 7 for Lindback is to be maintained but as with anything BSPA related it can change as and when to suit which is the worst issue.

Team changes are part of the game, whether they are right is very much open to opinion. With regards Wolves changes last season, perfectly legal. NO team should have benefited from using Tai other than Wolves on his low 7 average after the dire season we had to endure with his tired season long performance previously. I'd rather riders like Tai, Greg, Tonio etc commit to our league for a full season but what a joy it is when they do appear. The change in rules is likely to rule that out which is a pity but of course sticks in the throat of some who are dead against strengthening up for the play offs.

Yes I recall that too. As usual it's make it up as you go along.

talking of rubbish, just read your reply. Good to see you and your uncle getting on so well. You must have been up all night to know that, the gift that keeps giving. Although I do like your put down post is liked by the other bully brigade. Just waiting for the usual suspect of saying I'm bullying ya. Gotta love the hypocrisy on this forum.

Just in case you have missed it there isn't an EL this year so a new trophy will be required. KK will probably be at reserve for the play offs, so you might stand a chance .

Who knows? New averages can only be made when all riders have had 4H 4A tho anyway?

Keep what trophy clean?? There hasn't been a trophy yet for the Premiership. The EL trophy for 2016 looks great in CVS office, where it will stay.

The only thing that matters is A) being in the top 4 come September and more importantly being in good form. Being top is irrelevant these days as whilst it's great satisfaction at ending the league programme as the team with the most points it means diddly squat if you don't win the play off final. Most of the whinging and whining from supporters over the years is when the team who finishes top doesn't win the play offs, as they have not earned that right to be crowned champions. If Wolves stay top now till the play offs it matters very little unless they are carrying form as well.

Pirates by 10.

True. Top 4 is all that matters and top means nothing. We are the play off specialists after all so staying top is all Belle Vue's if they want it again.
