Not sure about that. They beat a strong Belle Vue team last year [also 47-43 after a last heat 5-1] and replaced their no 1 in that match (Milik) with Freddie Lindgren and still came bottom by a country mile.
And Dudek came 9th in the Polish Golden Helmet from which their three nominations qualified.
[P.S. Poland get 3 slots - same as Italy, and LESS than Germany!]
Or as my husband dryly commented "there are more tractors than spectators"
[He was impressed by Paco's tache, but he left the room muttering something about going to watch some paint dry]
Was that Tatum's most fatuous comment yet?
Camera focuses on two supporters with German flags on their face, covered in Gustrow badges and wearing Gustrow colours ....
and says " the Australian contingent there"
