I think even if they prepped it differently it wouldn’t make a difference, teams in the last couple of seasons are turning up there and have mentally lost before a wheels been turned.
I was thinking this morning about the move Madsen (who is not even in the series full time this year) put on Kurtz to get into a final and how many of the current line up would even attempt it?
The product has been ‘inferior’ for years and will continue to head that way in this country, it has nothing to do with the strength of the Ipswich side this year.
I enjoyed that meeting. Regarding the missing Russians, I still think Bartosz would win it even if they were there, he is that good.
Well done Brady Kurtz too, a brilliant debut.
If Robert Lambert had Jason Doyle levels of tenacity then I think he could challenge over the course of a year but I fear it will be another one for Bartosz.
