Same at every track, you only had to watch the BT to see how all tracks appear to be struggling. But typical of the Belle Vue troll to only mention one track.

Wolves win by 2.

Why is it they can’t get a decent and safe track at Cardiff? This is part of the reason why I won’t pay to go. The racing started off great with some great early heats but then the track and ruts ensured some riders would be penalised by it. Thankfully the worlds best are mostly able to cope with such conditions but I find it so frustrating as a viewer. Anyway, well done to Bart. Fully deserved victory. Tai the biggest winner with a 20 point lead tho. Cookie was gating and quick so happy for him to have a good meeting. Felt for Robert tho who had some terrible luck and 2 very poor decisions against him. At least he showed he was quick enough and competitive tho. Gutted for Freddie who appears to have slightly gone off the boil but still hope he can maintain a top 3 spot. best wishes to Doylie tho, nasty crash. Hope things are okay with him.

As ridiculous as all the other riders who have kept an old established returning average. wolves had to suffer all of 2014 with an underperforming Tai. Only be right if he was to return to Wolves and no other club. Not that I’d imagine he would be interested in riding anywhere despite the rumours others might have tried to spread.

I don’t believe the rumour for one minute. Would be great if true. and yes his average is every bit as legit as any returning rider who has also kept their previous average.

Some people just have to have a dig.

It’s certainly got to be a key factor I’d say.

Get there early enough and you should have no problems getting on main car park.

Big changes! Seems to have lost it’s starting power packed look and gone down the cheaper British route. The Pole deserved longer imho. Nicholls isn’t a number one anymore but then Bjerre has hardly been riding like one either. Auty for Krystian is an odd one although it can’t be denied that Auty has been having a much improved season in the 2nd tier. But in the main body of the team? Replacing the reserves tho is a no brainier plus Robbo at reserve is an obvious move for any club. Still surprising move tho. i wonder if the 2 maximum changes brigade are going to be as critical on this as they are on Poole?

Of course the changes are fair, it’s within the rules! i think it’s a dangerous precedent to set to limit the amount of maximum changes any team can make, because some teams genuinely have riders with several injury problems, riders out of form and wanting out and several variables including making changes prior to the cut off date for last changes. limiting to just 2 changes maximum is unfair to teams affected by the above reasons.

Worrall the key, I can see the Rebels pulling off a win. 44-46

Wolves out of form but really need to take advantage of a weakened Robins team. A cautious 50-40

Congratulations to Robert. Amazing win in such a tough line. there is a reason people have been raving about him for years . This is why. i hope he doesn’t get the same stick that Woffy does for not singing the National anthem. so Brits CAN win.

Where is this bs?? i don’t think I’ve ever read that Wolves couldn’t afford them. I’d love to read that information.

Nothing wrong with either part. It’s just an opinion. Thought I’d read the 12th also.

Why are you bringing me into anything? my constructive opinion is that I think it’s a backward step. If true that Sundstrom has stood down then Harris is as good as signing as is possible.

He did add the not been paid caveat after that quote! of course speedway is Monday night, it’s been the prominent night for TV which I’m assuming what he means. and I’m sure that’s exactly what he meant.

Tai makes an interesting comment about Monday night speedway in the UK in this weeks SS. ”I’ve said it over and over and over again. Monday night is speedway night, everyone knows it’s on a Monday night. I know there’s different issues with different clubs but if you can’t race on a Monday, then don’t race in the Premiership. Any clubs that want to race on a Monday, come to the Premiership. Make it professional. Sweden works, Poland works.”

Agreed, although the increase in Masters and Schlein has helped us to a good start to the season. Morris has proved to be a good signing in reserve. Not in the main team tho.

Of course it’s relevant, you keep mentioning that we shouldn’t have signed Thorssell instead of Lindgren. Howarth being injury jinxed and Heeps have been the biggest disappointments this season.

No one was laughing when he was scoring a maximum. The problem that’s been exposed is when we struggle in a meeting or lose a meeting we should have won will point us to a number one who isn’t scoring what Freddie would have done. as is always the case one rider doesn’t make a team. There are bigger issues than Jacob dropping his average a bit.

Of course he isn’t doing bad, that’s why I said previously that to maintain that average he will be doing very well. I actually expected him to add to his average at the start of the season. Hence why I said he is doing a decent job. If you think that’s laughable then so be it. We have been top 4 most of the season so far so we are having a ‘decent’ season so far. However due to injuries we are at risk of that all coming undone in the coming weeks if nothing changes.

Fred has nothing to say that isn’t laughable.

As already stated we know employing Jacob was the cheaper option and it’s completely unjust to expect him to replace the scoring prowess of Fred. He was never going to be able to do that. riding at number one was always going to be a tough gig. I’ve said previously if he holds his average he will have done well this season. As expected he is a very inconsistent number one, similar to Nick Morris who also wasn’t at number one last year despite riding in a much tougher number 5 position.

On the whole Jacob is doing a decent job. He was never going to replace Fred’s scoring or should he have been expected too. We know the management choose the cheaper option at number one. He seems to have gone slightly backwards in Poland and Sweden too so clearly other issues going on too. The bottom end has been the problem most noticeably Howarth and Heeps. Howarth thru injury, Heeps thru below par form. unless we can get Howarth back fit and scoring like we know he can in the next week or 2 then changes must be considered if there are suitable riders available. Not sure if Harris and Robson fit but they would be worth considering, more for getting Robbo in reserve who has had some terrific meetings at the Green.
