I would imagine the risk is another accident .. Down to five riders would leave them with little cover, especially as no tac subs... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ouch Posted Sunday at 03:15 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 03:15 PM The changes to both teams brings the averages a lot closer together so it should make things interesting for the neutral. Hopefully the incredibly strong Aces can keep it close at Owlerton and don’t suffer a 22 point mauling for a second time this season. Running with 3 reserves in a play off final is not ideal but those are the breaks I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much choice. Rushen, Jenkins, Harrsion, Scott. Has to be from Lynn or Northampton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They say they are waiting to see if PK can be available for meeting at BV, can't see how that is possible with a reported broken wrist.Could they get someone who has not rode in the Premiership? Maybe Batch or Jeppersen who rode for Northampton earlier in the season. Edited Sunday at 06:51 PM by foreverblue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they could but again who is better? Sedge, Paco, MPT, Barker, Jeppesen, Batch all spring to mind buy its all much of a muchness really.

PhilTheAce Posted Monday at 06:39 AM Author Report Share Posted Monday at 06:39 AM im dreading tonight if im honest, so much pressure on cook whos away form as deserted him of late. we will have done well to keep within 14 points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted Monday at 07:24 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 07:24 AM The loss of Kildemand could prove costly. Expect Belle Vue to do a job on Sheffield around the NSS so the Tigers will need a Double digit lead imo. Tigers 51 - 39 Aces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Zach he can handle the pressure but he does struggle away sometimes even in the Championship although I would not think Sheffield is his worst track.

It has been said it is not worth the risk but the rider booked is no better than a reserve so not sure I see the risk, Tate will probably take one of his rides anyway, if Mcdiarmid gets a point he will gave done well.

The risk would be one of the reserves getting injured in heat 2 and the other reserve then having six rides to cover plus their own three - cant be done. Safety first approach is to go with a guest which is entirely sensible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time we were at Owlerton in the play offs we lost a rider to injury and being us you wouldn’t bet against it happening again.
