This looked to be a little better competition than the VSC.....well done Rohan, did it the hard way!

[lunchy]

Far, far tougher than the Victorian titles, which is why I suspect both Batchelor and Pickering both headed to Victoria. Pickering only lives 10 - 15 minutes away from the Kurri Kurri track so his choice was fairly obvious in an attempt to get the all important place in a state final to qualify for a British working visa. The B final at Kurri could have been the main final anywhere else. I reckon Holder was a bit stiff not to get a main final place, nothing worse than a second place but gets rolled by two people who had one more win but also had a third place. I know that's how the countback system works but you look at Holders 2,2,3,3,2 and it looks like a bloody good days work to me.

Pickering is also competing in the SA state title on December 28th which is similar in strength to the Victorian line up but has no Fricke, no Proctor, and maybe no Batchelor (based on a 100% rumour so don't shoot me if its not true) but it does have Sedgmen and Watt. Pickering might fancy his chances, especially if he has a better day out of the traps that he did last weekend.

Edited based on updated status with apologies for any misinformation. Pickerings job is a bit harder than I originally thought

Will be interested to see how Watt does, lunchy...
Still think it's time for him to hang up his leathers, so to speak, but then I suppose he will still be a'star' in Oz..

The word I was hearing was some off track distractions were derailing Watt's efforts last season. If he has got the off track stuff sorted he should go well, you don't forget how to ride a speedway bike overnight. True enough about the end of the road being nigh though, you can't see him going on for too many more years even if things do go perfectly.

There were a lot of rumours here in the UK too.

Seperated from his Mrs apparantly, who lives in Poland, and it was a rather messy split.

Just rumours though Lunchy.
