I hate that the qualifiers aren't even, 4,4,4&3 qualifying! Just have 16 qualify & if a track thinks they won't get a big crowd without a home rider - don't offer to host the meeting!

Very true, the rider finishing 15th in the GPs is still a world class rider, someone has to finish last!

r/r lost to Nicholls, Batchelor & Starke, so with a fit Worrall you'd maybe hope for 1 or 2 extra points gained, but on the whole r/r did a fair job for the Monarchs!

You mean the FIVE year plan may only last ONE year? Surely not lol!

Well after a draw at Edinburgh, Kent are now far better placed to avoid the wooden spoon!

Best keep Rothery on a 1* for 2022, than use him & up his grade to 2*!

Rider replacement scored 8+1, so can't complain about that!

Can't imagine that's ever happened before! Only 2 points between the bottom 5 as well!

Still want to avoid the wooden spoon though!

I was thinking along the lines of Edinburgh who run a bus to the track!

Do Berwick run supporters buses? I can get there by bus, but no late buses leave Berwick!

Only if the developing riders get Champ places, what if more NDL riders are forced out, due to low points limit, than get signed for Champ teams?

That's one thing NDL riders are missing this year, "track time" 12 matches over a season will not help their development! Be good if they were encouraged to get extra racing at IOW!

My Bandits dream team would be: 1. Scott Lamb 2. Adrian Rymel 3. Mark Courtney 4. Alan Mogridge 5. David Walsh 6. Andy Campbell 7. Lee Complin 8. Paul Clews

The teams outside the play-offs are miles behind, Glasgow have no worries about missing out on them!

Can't run with the same standard of team now with such a low NDL points limit!

Think the top 6 are well clear & the race to the play-offs will be dull!

Yep, next week!

Let's be honest Diamonds will be far stronger if they are using a guest to replace the missing Freeman!

Berwick should keep Etheridge at no 2 each week, seemed to work well against Plymouth!

That makes sense if the r/r is a lower averaged rider (reserves racing with no 1 to protect them) but if the number 1 gets a r/r ride on heat 8, seems a waste of using your top rider in an "easier" heat!

Still don't understand why 90% of teams only use r/r at no 2?

Surely it's the opposite, all riders can get a r/r ride!

With such a solid team, don't think Panthers need to replace Ostergaard!

Birmingham probably have a better chance of winning the KOC than reaching the play-offs, so why is it a "poxy cup match"?
