Bert Trautmann 58 Posted August 20, 2017 In hindsight I should have picked Meads over someone like Ricketts. But at the time the internal debate I was having was Meads vs Forsyth. I went against logic and chose Forsyth but what a pointless use of time. 9 points each within 24 hours of each other. The race tightens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
