Do one weather.
Leicester don't deserve to win anything, Handed top spot, Handed a place in the Final by a corrupt referee and now the weather is trying to weaken BV's lead going into the second leg.
Will be but Leicester did lose 51-33 at BV when the track was wet earlier in the season if that's anything to go by.
Douggie could be a bit rusty too which levels those that out imo.
I'm just basing everything around riders performances around the NSS this season and it doesn't make for good reading in regards to Lions riders apart from Fricke & Douglas.
Lawson 13+3 from 12 Rides
Masters 14+1 from 10 Rides
Becker 8+2 from 7 Rides
Already got BV to win the league so I wasn't going to have another bet this season but BELLE VUE -8.0 @ 10/11 has to be snapped up.
Leicester lost 48-42 at BV when Kurtz was missing and R/R only got 4+2 in his absense
Leicester lost 51-33 at BV (Meeting abandoned after 14 Heats)
BV favourties for me.
NKI is on par with Ben Cook around the NSS and I'd say NKI would be stronger around Leicester tbh.
Lidsey seems to have changed his machinery back so BV now have 4 genuine HL's.
That's the best strength in depth side I can come up with using the usual riders in Buster's phonebook.
1. Lawson
2. Kvech
3. NKI
4. Klindt
5. Basso / B. Cook
6. Wojdylo
7. Jenkins (RS)
I'll go with the rumours of Rowe because Buster won't pay more than the Bates family for a rider.
1. J. Holder
2. Howarth
3. Pickering
4. ?
5. C. Holder / Woffinden
6. Rowe
7. Edwards (RS)
