He should score well at reserve,like anyone in the team should.But you have to admit it is easier to score points against some teams rather than others.

Doesn't mean much, but i was bored 😌

League meetings only... Bomber at 6... 7.31,   Klindt at 6 .. 6.88.

As i said, it don't mean much, but were not  averaging bucket loads at reserve. The points look like a lot on the score sheet, but they are getting a lot of rides at 6 to hit those scores. I expect Kvech to match Bomber.

Lynn approached Harrison and Jody Scott for the RS birth and both declined it as they want a full season in champ first apparently. Which i like that attitude very much. Alsways walk before you run. 
 

so your best hope now is Sam hagon or wait to see what we do when cairns becomes 16. You either take cairns or take Mulford after we get cairns in

Is Cairns on the RS list? Or will he be on 29 June? Seems tough on Mulford if he’s dropped as he’s doing the job he was taken on to do. 4+3 last Monday from three rides plus a fall when it looked like he was wiped out by his team partner, seems pretty solid to me.

You are usually ITK Phil and I don't doubt that info was accurate at some point, but Luke was on our podcast last Wednesday week and said that he is waiting for the call for a RS position as he feels he's ready.

Probably would be but sometimes in sport you have to be ruthless and Cairns has the potential to be much, much better than Mulford very quickly. They'd be daft not to get him in if he wants to do it.

The bigger question is do we put far too much pressure on our young riders. 
a sensational debut season in the NDL doesn’t necessarily equate to a international career. 
Drew kemp for example was dynamite for mildenhall.  Got called up in the championship for Ipswich and scored 14 at Scunthorpe on his debut and everybody’s expectations sky rocketed. 
big moves to big clubs with big pressure didn’t work particularly well but now he is settled and allowed to progress at his own pace he has blossomed. 
Ashton was fast tracked to team GB and maybe that was too early ? 
I just hope will cairns and cooper rushton are allowed to progress in their own time without the pressure.

Yeah. Possibly as it was a while ago I heard that. And since then Harrison as made a real jump and probably does feel he’s ready now

Jake done more than enough this season. Been really impressed and I hope we have him all season. 
 

but I’d understand if mark didn’t want anyone else to have cairns so gets him in like he did with Tate last season. 
 

but Jake’s earned a full season at least this year

Well that's definitely an untruth about Luke . Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story

Well he will get a ban for refusing to ride. But also he was told he was sacked mid meeting apparently so no wonder he refused 

Don’t think he was sacked team manager came and asked if he was ok after his second ride as he was over half a lap behind and really struggling his dad wanted to pull him from the meeting as his head was not in the right place so they had to replace him in his 3rd ride and had to ride one race with 3 riders he now gets a 28 day ban for withholding his services, he has been struggling with confidence all season and struggling to ave over 3 Glasgow can’t afford his ave to drop if they want a winning team shame as the boy has lots of talent just needs to get his head straight

More likely he will be at Leicester if Gilkes is confirmed as ruled out for season as Will has admitted he has overcome some of his negative thoughts about the Leicester track if BV decide not to use him

He will definitely go somewhere. He wants the rising star spot. If we want him he will be with us 100%. If we don’t then yeah. Suppose Leicester will be his first choice. Forgot about Joe Thompson. Only being temp
