Really hope not. The top heavy/weak reserves rarely works. Not sure of the exact figures but believe the top four burn 30 and change so even two 4.00s and a 2.00 will be too much. 

I guess Flint Harris Thompson Rowe was all too good to turn down, but that’s no good if you have 2 reserves who won’t score points, obviously Poole have gotten away with Having Cairns then Rushen on a 2 to start the season, but with young Southwick already at Redcarr, is there another 2 pointer who’s almost guaranteed to hold their ave if not up it?

If it's who I think it is, no.

If there are a few NDL riders getting thrown in at the deep end then it will be easier to get near that. It all depends if they sink or swim, and how quickly they progress (or if they progress). I expect our senior reserve to be on 5 rides a meeting from the start. 

The expected Tigers team is set up that the top end is expected (needs) to carry a 2 point reserve that will likely struggle to average 2 points. It's a trade off that Tigers seen willing to make. Basically any points contributed by our 2 pointer will almost be considered a bonus, especially against the strength on depth teams

The good thing is, that anyone in the team has access to practice at home as often as they need, especially for new riders, last season our riders were offered the same, I believe that Mario declined the use of practice but the others did use it.
