Bit if an arrogant post making assumptions on other people and how often seen him. Seen him plenty as I'm sure have many others. I'm happy to be proven wrong and if he goes on to be the best 2 pointer around best of luck to him. But I wouldn't have wanted him in my team 

Not sure how that's arrogant? I've not seen Dayle Wood once last season, but I've seen his results and they're better than the year before. I just can't get my head around why people are writing him off just because he's 30? To me that seems more arrogant compared to what I've posted. People can improve no matter what their age is and they shouldn't be immediately discounted just because of it. Best of luck to him, didn't mean to come across as arrogant if that's how you've taken it.

So... If Kildemand is number 1 for Berwick and Danyon is number 2... Could be an entertaining start to a lot of meetings 🫣

Michael Penfold anyone . But on the subject of Berwick . Stewart has really pulled a rabbit out the hat in Kildemand , what a cracking signing .

If all the riders can get dialed in at Berwick, could be a cracking season for the Bandits with riders who can perform well away from home too.

would love to see them make the play offs.

Hodders 2024 average not inc BP was 1.52 so hopefully Dayle will better that

He won the Stars of Tomorrow competition. He’s basically a GP rider in the making.

Very happy with the side. Kildermand should love shielfield. Dayle wood seems keen as mustard! That goras a long way. Good luck to the guy

Pretty good looking team IMO if Kildeman can remain interested and stay focused. He was a favourite of mine in the past but can have his moments of unpredictability I think.

Should still know the way around, scores of 3 and 9 from his two trips with Workington in 2011.

Does anyone know what PK's average really is, for both Berwick and Oxford? The suspense is killing me!

8.50 Champ confirmed on Berwick's rider profile page for PK which means that he must be a 6.00 in the Prem.

If Kildemand and Cook are committed we’ve not got a bad team, there’s still too many question marks for me with them two as well as Borke’s injury. May have some spare points to play with once Kildemand gets a real average, as I can’t see him sustaining 8.50.

You've made an assumption on why people have that opinion on someone without a single clue what their opinion is based on. Yes no doubt he improved, in a weaker ndl imo. Like I said happy to eat humble pie if I'm wrong but please don't judge what my opinion is based on when you don't have a clue

Every season I normally say I like the look off the Berwick team and they are contenders, only for them to be decimated by injuries.

So this season I really.

Think I will not and maybe it won’t jinx them, but an injury free season and they look pretty good.

Imo Berwick wont. But the team will hopefully be in the mix come the end of the league campaign.

Mick Newton, anybody?

I was happy when he left, I bought his sponsored Mk3 Cortina GXL from Jimmy Beaton.

I think Berwick will be expecting him to reach his average. Even if he doesn't I don't think the teams limit will drop, the league is slightly weaker, so all riders should up their averages.

Agree with this, Kildemand has only ridden in Denmark the last couple of seasons and obviously isn’t the force he once was but it’s the best option on the table given Rory’s withdrawal and I am pleased the promotion have given it a go rather than going down the route of someone like MPT for instance.

Cook is and always will be a question mark, how Borke comes back from that injury is the biggest question mark for me given the nature of the injury and the fact that 6 months down the line he still seems to be in rehabilitation mode.

The other 4 are good signings imo, Hagon and Kemp especially.

Which lies the issue with some of the youngsters of today not willing to put in the miles to gain experience and improve, hence why not many make it now all expect it given to them.
