I did.. I was out for a meal and left my phone at home. I got home at 7.28 and hit the bet as it was on TV… for some interest in the meeting. Was only a tenner, but would of been a tenner I lost.

I have nothing against him. It's just that he has dropped off the most from last season, and the significant Improvement in the heat leader positions affects every rider in the league. I think out of the 30 riders in the Prem that ride in the 1-5, there's only 2 riders that have won less than Richard.. And they are all riding with better riders....Will will see if he can pick it up in the 2nd half of the season. I'm getting bored of this one now. We can agree to disagree on this one.

Gone with the Tigers-10 and the tie

If Dan had watched the Stars last season and this one so far, he would see the drop off isn't due to Niels and Josh. I like Richard and hope he gets back to winning races for us again on a more regular basis this season. Whatever happens i'll be there cheering the lads on every week regardless.

His average may well of been inflated a bit. But he was winning races against other teams top riders on a regular basis last season and they didn't all have sh$t teams/riders .This season he isn't. You can't tell me he has gone for 30 wins in 77 last season, to 4 wins in 34 so far this season due to the fact we have Niels and Josh. He was beating that quality of rider last season.. It will make a bit of a difference, but not to that extent. I presume you watched him both this season and last ??. For whatever reason he doesn't look as sharp/fast as he did last season. We just have different opinions as to why Richard has dropped off so much. Yes he's not the only one who needs to improve, i agree. When has TJ and Lewi been consistent, will they start now? Josh's away ave is poor i agree. Maybe Niels and Josh have put a curse on him this season

I know riders are hard to come by. I just threw Lawson's name out there because he sits on 7.84 as of now, but averaging 5.88 so far this season. But there's more to it than that.... Last season he won the most races by a country mile for us. 77 rides and 30 wins. So far this season he has won 4 in 34 races, and everyone has won more races apart from our number 7. That's a massive drop off. We need to be winning more races.

Might well be RR as no guests are available on the night. I'd be very surprised, if we can get anyone in by then. As i said in a earlier post, if Wolves beat the Panthers tomorrow, and the Panthers beat us on the 4th, we will be bottom and 10 points off of Wolves in 4th . If that does happen, then i think we're in trouble already..

Converted to 4.34

That's not a change i would do. I don't think it would us any stronger.

I didn't think you could use a guest for a reserve. Ippo have too. Is it because they are both Champ riders coming in?

Toby can also take one of his rides. It's one ride for the rider directly above Cook in the averages.

Who knows. Don't rule it out.. The Stars need one now

Bloody hell . I wrote it and posted on the other tread, then thought it was better placed on this one. I thought i deleted the other one... And no i ain't touched a drop today.... Not until 7 .. I would happily keep RL if we could do that as a single change.

I'd be late for my own funeral. I'd have some of that. Just getting a bit fed up now. I think 4th will be gone if the 2 meetings i mentioned go the way of the home teams

The ruthless in me (and i think it's time we we're tbh,) see's it like this. I know it will seem harsh to some.. If Wolves beat the Panthers on Monday 27th at Monmore, and the Panthers beat us on the 4th July at the Showground, we will be bottom and 10 points off of Wolves in 4th with no NKI. If NKI isn't/can't come back, we need to do something otherwise 4th will be gone imho. Not picking on any rider here, I know TJ is inconsistent, and might need a fresh start elsewhere, but this is purely a points thing. Our GSA effective 23/06 has the team is on 39.29. With Puk on 7.33, so we would have 7.04 to fill his place as we are 0.29 over. Not great . Richards GSA is 7.84. but he is averaging 5.88 this season so far. So it's replace with.. NKI 7.03 or Nki + Richard gives you 15.22 for 2 places. You could change him for TJ, depending on the 2 riders you bring in, but he is doing his average. I think Lawson is the better rider, but i've used him because of the 7.84 GSA he has. I know it's if's and buts, depending on any rider we might be able to get in. It's quiet on here so thought it might cause a debate.

Agree we might of just nicked it with NKI and Thomas. But the Tigers are a strong outfit that's for sure. My thoughts on top 4 are in the Lynn 2022 thread. Might cause a stir

I have enjoyed some pretty good racing this season on a slicker track. Last night was back to how it used to be. I agree Richard isn't a number one, and he is ok as a second string, but came on a high average. Was good to see Jack there in good spirits.

Trim ya bush to make the yard look bigger..

I added that one to make it 4 wins in 34 races. Compared to 30 wins in 77 last season. After last nights meeting his average so far for this season is 5.88. He had a stonker of a season in last year, and i admit he was first on my team sheet for this season, but it was always going to be a risk whether he could keep it up.

Morris did a job. TJ is inconsistant, and see my above post on Richard.

I posted his stats a few weeks ago, 2021 77 rides, 30 Ht wins. Up until today he has 34 races and 4 heat wins. I know i'm harsh, but if you can't win races, you win nowt.

Some say i worry to much about my predictions. Seen it all

Was probably me. You san say hello i don't bite

Rasser is in the UK on the 9th July riding for the rest of the world v the UK. Like i said i've heard no more and with your latest news, i said i would own it.

It's been 2 weeks, and i've heard nothing. 2 weeks was always going to be the cut off point. It was Sedgman and Rasmus Jensen.
