I think the difference could well be Bomber Harris, if he continues his recent form. Josh and Richard have only won 1 race each in the 3 away meetings so far. But i don't expect it to continue all season, and hopefully they start tonight. I can't see the Stars winning enough races tbh. 50-40
The crowds at the AFA look up a couple of hundred on last year to me. It was reported in the local paper there was close to 2,000 at the Lewi Kerr testimonial. I don't know how they found out, or maybe guessed, who knows. But judging by that i'd say around a steady 1300 ish.
Our away stats so far this season are poor to say the least. Surely it can only improve ?
Rides race wins
NKI 15 5 Gone
Richie 13 4 From reserve, now at 2
TJ 15 2 Now at reserve
Lewi 11 2
Richard 15 1
Josh 11 1
Bomber to lead the Panthers to a comfortable win if Tofty is properly fit.
If Bomber continues his recent form, he could score nearly double what RR could get us for NKI. We're not winning enough races for my liking, so will need to be making starts to stand any chance of getting some points out of this one.
50-40.
Not sure if i'd want that tbh. But i doubt there are many options, unless someone one is willing to drop a country.. But if it did happen it would leave us 1.30 under the limit, and i think we would have to try and use that to strengthen one of TJ ,Lewi or Richie if we are serious about top 4. But again there's not much about. We don’t really have the time to hang about waiting to see if NKI can come back later on.
I've just seen this from Lewi Kerr. Made me laugh
Holder was excluded for the incident which took place while riding behind Kerr, and the duo had a few words in the pits afterwards.
Kerr said: “He blamed me for him falling off. He called me something, so I let him have it.
You never know, he might be. I'd have him in a double change to fit a top rider in if needed. But with the way a few of your riders are going and being bottom, you'd probably have nowt to loose to give him a go..
Having said that, we go bottom if you beat us on Monday
If we have any chance of top 4 we need 2 riders imho. Obviously 1 for Neils, if we can find one, and 1 for either TJ, Lewi, or Richie. I think any one of them 3 are ok at reserve, but any 2 of the 3 ain't strong enough for our engine room.
