I look at these “rain radars” too. Those I looked at this morning for Ipswich, had not just green blobs, but orange and reds for torrential downpours, floods and lightening/thunder. We’ve had a shower a few hours back and that’s it.
Cook was averaging 6 for this season, Kerr a little over 5. So in theory this weakens Sheffield a little and makes Belle Vue even stronger favourites. With the caveat that a move freshens up Kerr and he improves on the form he’s shown for Lynn this season.
That’s why Belle Vue are favourites. They literally batter everyone at home. How many 60+ scores is that now? Think our biggest win this season was 10 points against Sheffield at home. And to think some used to say Belle Vue have no home advantage as it’s too fair a track! They’re all totally dialled in and far too quick for everyone, even Doyle!
No decision’s to be made. This is the team that will now head in to the play offs, barring further injuries. No further changes allowed under current rules.
His average fits perfectly as a direct Swap for Barker. Maybe their thinking has changed and they’ll go with that option and use guests/R/R in the hope Riss is fit for the play offs? We’ll know imminently what they’ve gone with as we’ll be releasing the team news for Monday in the next 24 hours. Only have until that meeting to make team changes anyway.
