therefused Posted May 12 Report Share Posted May 12 wouldnt have had Cook back after the shambles from last year personally. Another season over by mid May, might as well just crack on with the play offs at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remarkably, still in the higher percentile of their overall finishing places since the early 70s. The Witches used to have a #1 curse - but in recent seasons it’s affected the Deadbeets … Fricke couldn’t raise his game when needed last night. Even so, I thought it would come down to the “engine room”, and so it did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I questioned his commitment to the team/club. And Paco was a worry from the start. Big hitter or no big hitter, so far it seems the same old theme. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the low 37 point limit at start of season, most riders and teams will increase almost straight away. Does a different limit apply mid season, otherwise even a poorly performing team will be stuck with like for like changes..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel that's a it harsh, it not like Sedgmen ran a 1.5 ave in the Prem, he's been a 4+ rider before. You also have to manage your expectations, if they have 4.28 available to replace Castagna, that translates to a 6.42 Champ rider, so Sedgmen is "too good" to replace Castagna.

He didn't look round because he wasn't being chased by an opponent ... but, as you say, you can interpret it whichever way you want. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
