0 Heat Wins on the night compared to Chris' 2.

But yes you could've made a case for Picko to take Chris' spot especially after Ht 13 just to try something different.

C. holder was losing speed as the meeting was going on, and he looked slow against Kurtz and Bewley last time out. picko would have been a better option. IMO only, which doesn’t count for much I know 😂

I can see your logic 100% as I had the same view last week with Doyle in the Super Heat.

Well that was a proper tanning but I enjoyed the racing, just like at the NSS I find it enthralling to watch riders blast round the outside with no fear, inches from the airbag, great skills.  

It’s more follow the leader at Sheffield …. Not denying that it’s skilful but to me it’s about bravery as well 

Lemon clearly stated his riders didn’t attack it and even in that interview Anders Rowe said ‘didn’t want to get too wide’ where as Jack Holder said just got to get out wide …. Some riders are braver than others

If Belle Vue and Sheffield meet in the play offs I can see two big home wins for both teams which would make for good TV I guess!

I think Sheffield will be better at our place than we will be at theirs.

Don’t know… you have 3 big scoring heat leaders at home and Cook goes well and Blodorn chips in … if the reserves can get 6 or 7 between them then it will be close

Tigers always better Aces over 2 legs... until the playoffs

Zishcke & Mulford get 6-7 between them.... don't be silly, Flint & Etheridge won't drop a point to them at NSS.. they may take a point off Rowe... Not sure I've seen him at NSS. Can't remember seeing Morris either.

Genuine question, how many seasons has Leon Flint been rising now? 

It's tricky deciding how long a rider can be a "rising star" for. Although the age limit has dropped since it started.

Many people say the RS are too weak & out of their depth etc.

Others say Jenkins & Flint have been RS too long & shouldn't be any more.

But once you limit the amount of seasons, you make the standard even weaker, which leads to even more RS out of their depth!

I personally think they've got it about right, Flint has come on a lot this season & his average will prevent him being an RS next season.

A better than usual meeting at Owlerton for a change with a handful of decent races. One of the worst tracks for passing usually. 
Good to see the changes working for the Tigers. 
Not many teams will fear the Aces over 2 legs, away from home they are basically a 2 man team.

Lidsey had one good ride.  The rest are pants away from the NSS.

i believe you have to be 23 & under flint is 22 born in febuary so it looks like he will be a rising star next season as well so a few clubs will be after him ?? that's  if there is a premiership ? who knows ?

Flint has improved, but he has reached his level just his gating has improved and likes big tracks where speed  is all that matters .

2021 was when RS was introduced, Flint was Wolves RS for 22 & 23 also. Brummies 24. Tigers 25 

Born February 2003 so will be 23 when the next season commences.
