Endeavour

Bruce's problem then was that he wasn't trying to hide the fact. He was being too open and honest. If it had been home riders. "Great team man. Taking one for the team etc etc

Wonder if Cookie, the GB no 2 would be selected by AR next year. Hasn't happened much in the past.

Think people need to remember that Penhall's parents died in a plane crash in 1975, he would have been about 18. May explain a bit why he was vocal about the effect on KCs family.

Totally agree. If Carter hadn't taken his own life, he would have been charged with murder. Tragic for everybody concerned. Especially for his young family left with no mother or father.

Penhall was box office. Will never forget the atmosphere at Wembley in 1981.

There is no rider who could replace Cookie, either ability wise or due to points restrictions. If BV had chose Saturday as race night I could have seen myself heading there some Saturdays. Re Ryan, at 32 can he put a couple of points on his average? It's a big ask but surely Riss and Clegg should make great strides. I have thought all along that the 3 pointer and the 6 pointer riders will be the crucial signings. A Barker, Worrall, Fisher, Masters race? Interesting to say the least!

7 out the 13 teams declared their starting 7. Hopefully we will have another addition on Friday night.

If it is the Fish would leave 6.21.

If it is Fisher other remaining signing apart from 3 pointer could be crucial.

Would have liked Josh at Edinburgh.

Back to you then Manse? Any clues?

Nice guy and big help in pits last season but think we could do better.

Over to you Mr B. If you can't tell us perhaps our west coast buddy Manse can?

Apologies. Stand corrected. I read the Newcastle remaining total on the forum rather than the Panthers.

Think Ryan has too high an average to go with your declared six riders. He has been mentioned by a few folk to be returning to the Monarchs, nothing to substantiate it though.

If I was a Rebels fan I would be happy with teams tracked in the last few years.

Josh G been mentioned by a few folk but I would have thought he would have gone to Glasgow if coming back North of the border. If Masters is confirmed Josh and Fisher couldn't fit into team. Would like him in a blue and gold race jacket.

There is a video night a week on Friday. EDinburgh Evening news said Masters close to signing. Nothing else much being reported. Rumours about Fisher as well but who knows. Don't think all 7 will be announced at video night

Maybe other Fish to fry.

Per my west coast colleague's post. LOL. Mr B, would you care to hazard a guess for the Edinburgh 3 point reserve.

I agree with you Mr B. There is better than Shuttleworth but I haven't heard anybody else mentioned for Edinburgh.

Think there will be an ex rider returning. My concern is who the number 7 will be. Shuttleworth name was being mentioned but all now gone quiet on the number 7 rumour mill.

Glasgow have assembled a strong top 4. Garcia had a good attitude when he guested for Edinburgh in the LC final and could become a fans favourite with his never say die attitude. Bit of a risk with the bottom 3 but they all should improve. Re RItchie Worrall unavailable on Fridays if BV riding. Could be a big ask for reserves. Need top 3 to be on game but surely 2016 a shoe in for top 3 finish at least. Saying that Ipswich were experts favourites for title last year.

Think if he rides PL it will be at Edinburgh.

I emailed Belle Vue beginning of week asking them to confirm their first choice race night, was it Friday's. Still waiting for a response.
