New averages mean that David Lee will miss out for a while. Long Eaton must have wished they had not bothered turning up as we send them home with a 63-27 defeat. But in an alarming tactical blunder the we did not realise the Riley signing gave us four foreign riders. This has enforced the move of Bjur to Leek in exchange for Clive Wall. Coventry hold us to only a two point lead in the first leg of the Knock Out Cup so it will be very tough to defend that in Coventry next week.
New averages mean changes.
The arrival of Riley should help with stability as Kersh would have undoubtedly not have retained a 7.80 average in the main body of the team. Weeks 11-12 Top of the league after crushing poor Manchester and then grabbing a win in Peterborough. Add to that qualification for the 4TT semi finals after winning our group and it's looking good. Selection headaches after next meetings sure to arise with the publication of the new averages. As expected we blow Thames away in the first round of the Knock Out Cup with huge home and away winning margins.
