The dugs in the street knew what was going to happen in ht15 with those selections. If Paco is pulling rank in the pits then it's poor - ht13 he couldn't get close to an underperforming Harris so how was he getting near Howarth or Thompson? Polis was the obvious choice.
Losing at home when getting a combined 13 from your reserves raises questions. I'll give Sedgmen a pass as that's an unusual performance. Thomson though is simply not good enough at no.3 - he could genuinely find himself at no.6 shortly which actually might not be the worst thing!
On a positive note, Grahn is improving race by race, Polis looks a proper racer and Palovaara (while against poorer riders) is smashing his average.
