There's always give and take in these fixture negotiations. It's generally in clubs best interest financially that clubs have their 1-7 available on relevant dates
Youngsters improve by and large, my main point was around guys like say heeps this season everyone assumes going to add 2/3 points. Who says that not just his level now?
Exactly it's a term never agreed with. Rider has an average over 20 meetings, that's indicative of their form. Very few of these older guys on way down ever come back up. Ully being exception
It hurts when they go, we seemed to do that for years bring guys over then have them nicked off us once had a real average. Back in days when all foreigners came on a 9 rusty Harrison particularly stung
What's I'm looking forward to most about the side that looks like being put together is that it's exciting. Made up of racers and predominantly young guys who will only improve. Finally no more has beens on "false averages"
On paper if finish broc, cookie, ulle probably strongest team we've started season with in facenna era.
Only question mark is how fit can a 40 year old come back from a broken back and hit ground where he was before?
