Well will be an interesting signing that’s for sure. A hard racer but from what I’ve seen of him racing in Aus is he spends a fair amount of time on the floor or in the fences. 
also he was the rider that wiped Chris holder out in his first meeting in Aus this season. 
I think Berwick may be a bit of a challenge for him to start with

Blimey the lad isn't even in the country and he's being criticised, give him a break.

Many years ago there was a couple of young lads from New Zealand who spent a lot of time hitting the deck or the fence, remember some other riders wanted them banned. Briggs and Mauger were their names, i often wonder how their careers panned out.

I watched the Aussie meetings on bsn and I think Reid will do okay, he can gate, and is a racer, may need to calm himself a bit though. Will be an interesting watch. Disappointed that Jacob Hook does not have a place. We really need to stop losing riders that increase their average due to the team limits, it's always the 5 pointers that lose out.

The averages are killing the sport,have been for years.

 You certainly don’t want to 5-6pt rider these days.

Yeah, but there’s not enough riders to go around 🙈, so the bosses say

And that’s mainly due to averages.Just the usual same as.No forward thinking.

They need to take a leaf out of Rich Lawson's book when it comes to managing your average.

Suits their narrative.

Every time someone mentions 1 league you all go...not enough riders

Could argue Gusts and Knudsen were on the sidelines last year as well the amount of meetings they missed
