You Get Nowt For Optimism
Or even for sitting on the fence. None
of the 14 players who faithfully predicted a win against the odds, or the 6 drawmongers, picked up a single bonus point. So you had to go for an away win to score points, and the 6 people to do that included both our leaders / only potential winners …… ooh the tension …...
Lord Stiffupperlip's full disclosure 1-3 got him a bonus point
, and Kiwi John's dead-letter-dropped 1-2 didn't
, so the gap at the top increases to 4 points. Behind them, Monkey Hanger returned to the podium with his 3 points, up from 5th. The other 3 all took 4 points, enough for Taypot to leap back into the elite in 8th, from 14th, with Cashman making way; Stevie R to move up from 22nd to 21st; and Stanley Josh to similarly climb one from 28th to 27th. So no maxis either
. And obviously, no other changes.
So on we roll to Doncaster, once again probably thinking anything we get will be a bonus. But you never can tell with Stanley
, just being in this league is a bonus I never expected to get
.
On Stanley On!!
