I know it has a lack of back line units to sit on objectives, its mainly a just your opponent and use whats left of the bikes to turbo-boost score at the end of the match.

What are you trying to achieve (in terms of match ups)? And what kind of criticism are you looking for? This seems like a non-competitive narrative style matched play list. Having said, few points:

1. RW Apothecaries are tempting but they're a huge point sink. At best, they're getting back 38 pts (49pts if you're tacking it onto 3-man unit of MM AB's, which I implore you to try out. It's the best bang-for-buck distraction carnifex RW has to offer imo) worth model per turn, which means you'd need 3 turns to get its worth back. More often than not, it's better to bring 92 pts of offensive options.
2. The combi's on sergeants - RW bikers are at a bit of awkward spot as far as allowed wargear goes. RAW, they're allowed to have combi's but you'll find many houserules that prohibit it.

If you drop the combi's, 1 bike from each unit, apothecary, and take corvex sam, you have enough points for another 5 RBK's for a full 10 model unit of RBK's for maximum return on WftDA (or another 5 man unit of RBK's to spread the liability), which is far superior option in comparison to units/models taken out.
