szkocjasid Posted November 17, 2024 Report Share Posted November 17, 2024 There's been a few comments about Batchelor struggling in heats 13&15, but don't forget he was signed on a 7.16 average. That's not a rider you expect to dominate those heats like you would Cook. Next year (assuming he signs) starting on an 8+ average, would be the time to expect more wins in the "big heats".

I agree with the sentiment and people probably forget we signed him on that average, but this is a guy who once scored a 15 point maximum in a GP. So people probably always expect high levels from him. Will be a good signing even as Number 1 especially with even more heatleaders dropping the league next season. Presume he will be Captain, he did a great job in that role when Cookie was missing. And his performances helped drag us over the line into the play offs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then followed that up with another big performance at Berwick in the win that really cemented the playoffs 👍 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
