Fortythirtyeight Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 Well the side has been announced and there’s quite a few surprises. Both Pijper’s were expected but not Ablitt. Then throw in the ‘retired ‘ Trigger ! Add an unknown Aussie in Sadler ( he must be part British ? ) Didnt expect Southwick to be back but he’s a catch. Ward slightly surprising as I thought he’d prefer a more southern track . Not sure how they’ll line up think it will be Sadler and Ward at reserve which is a gamble, an unknown quantity and Ward blows hot and cold. Slightly disappointed all the local boys have gone and thought Halder was worth a team place all day long. The way this league has been changed means it’s no longer a development league and so this is what you get with experienced riders getting places and the odd non brit. Still, its a team and not a bad one on paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 3 very strong heat leaders and it’ll be interesting to see how Sadler gets on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going off his Aussie rides probably about at 5/6 pointer at most in the NDL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoundTheBoards Posted 9 hours ago Report Share Posted 9 hours ago Didn't take long for the retired Trigger to re-retire. Middlesbrough have moved to replace him with the upcoming youngster Jade Mudgeway. Can't knock Middlesbrough too much. I doubt very much that they are one of the "win at all costs" teams who pushed the points limit up to a ludicrously high and unsustainable 42. They've just got sucked into it, as the NDL slowly moprhs into the National Veterans League. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
