  1. Get this sports fans nothing to do with speedway , o Sullivan has just knocked in a 147 with a broken ankle amazing.
  2. I think Pontus will be one of them.☺️
  3. Don't think Jensen is coming over this year. Not sure if Josh is doing Prem this year either.
  4. Jack holder an exciting partnership coming here I think with Brady
  5. Regarding Sam and the way he was 'treated" did the club not stand by him when he was banned for his twitter outburst and put him in the team the following season. It was three into two didn't go as I recall and after being replaced Sam began giving off about being badly treated. If he is being realistic he will agree that 2012 was not his best form wise either. I liked him though and stuck up for him on this forum when other posters were slating him over antics at various tracks.
  6. Looking forward to hearing the line up for 2015 tomorrow night, I was thinking about this time last year when the original 2014 line up was announced. 1 Jason Doyle 2 Todd Kurtz 3 Ollie Allen 4 Charles Wright 5 Nick Morris 6 Paul Starke 7 Brady Kurtz Before anyone starts jumping up and down about Brady again, how good would this had been if it had been ratified.
  7. Well done everyone involved in keeping the Panthers going, see you next year.
  8. Good luck to Nick Morris after two great seasons at Somerset.
  9. every move I am very excited at the thought of watching and following Brady next season, on the occasions I saw him this year I was hugely impressed. Comparisons are common but he does remind me of the 17 year old Darcy Ward in the way he goes about his racing showing a maturity beyond his years. He has had a look at most away tracks and is a year older and has already bagged the u21 title in NSW since coming back from injury. Remember he bagged the fastest time around the OTA as well when people like Olly Allen were tearing it up every week. I particularly remember one race against Kennett at Rye when he led him for three laps. Eddie tried all things to get past but Brady just thwarted him every time and he made a slight error and Eddie was through and took the win. As they came over the line Eddie glanced over his shoulder and shook his head he knew he had been in a hell of a race. Judging by the line ups quoted above I think it would not be necessary for him to be looked on as the second heat leader anyway with riders like Pontus, Charles and Kyle Howarth mentioned.
  10. When Zorro joined Somerset he changed the whole club from a team that was usually down the bottom to a club that actually had a chance of winning things. He left and Jason Doyle came in and proceeded to impress even more over three periods with the club. Call me bias but I think if he had been riding this season there would have been a few more trophies in the cabinet and that is no disrespect to Edinburgh who were worthy champs or the other 2014 Rebels who were superb this term.
  11. Naj mate have you been partaking of the falling down liquid a bit early this Christmas, Richard Hall!!!!!!!!!!
  12. I think Charles, Brady and Paul are vital for next season, all are on attractive averages and will improve imo.
  13. Nordin was one of my idols when I first watched speedway at Wembley,so classy.
  14. Cookie was a late starter in speedway and has done very well, whether he wants to push on is the question. He doesn`t seem to shine at the really big events outside PL, eg World Cup and GP. I think it would be a good idea to forget PL next season and see if he can get some rides in Poland/Sweden/ Denmark/GB and at least give it a go, if it all goes pear shaped there will always be a PL place for him in 2016 i would imagine. The bloke has talent which will not flourish against lesser riders every week. He has found it tough in the EL this year with the new format, but how well has Doyley done going to a new team and being their number 1, he has shown what may happen if you are motivated enough. From a Monarchs point of view if they could track Masters,Sedgy, Frick and Worrell there is a base for another very good team,with Cook two of them may have to go. I`m not sure you will able get lucky with another Worrell and Sedgy like this season. He`s British so I hope he can make the step up and give Woofy a hand.
  15. Didn't do Darcy any harm and I believe this lad is I'm the same mould. Charles is capable of achieving a 7 IMO improving every season. Good thing about this set up is strength in depth, all of the 2014 Rebs are capable of beating anyone at our place, we need continuity, adding a couple of new faces each year.
  16. Back in 2008 the Rebels replaced Zorro with Jason Doyle and started the season without a recognized No 1 , with Brady Kurtz on board next year how about. 1. Brady 2. Todd 3. Charles 4. Cameron Heeps 5. Pontus 6. Jack Holder 7. Paul I reckon Brady could become an eight pointer next year along with Pontus and if Jack can start like Brady did there is a good nucleus for a top six side again. It is probably a good time for Cameron to try another track because I think he went a bit backwards last year and maybe a change of track with fellow young aussies around may help. Charles, Paul and Todd are all solid Premier riders now with good experience.I`d give the arm band to Todd.
  17. I counted the prem shield as a match involving 7 riders with a recognised trophy at the end, I take your point though that not all teams are involved.
  18. I thought Newcastle were in it as League Cup winners because Somerset did the double in 2013. If thats right I`m still not sure who it will be because Edinburgh won the League Cup as well, maybe Somerset because they won the only other full team trophy this year.
  19. No problem here at all just pointing out what I said if your promotion signed him you would support him, and also you can`t spell Aspgren.
  20. Very dangerous and totally out of order comment imo, implies outrageous actions with no proof or back up what so ever , you got the decision, now shut up. I seriously cannot believe what I am reading here.. If your promotion were to sign him I guarantee you would support him after his first big score . Are you illiterate or do you have a problem spelling his name
  21. Rebels management got it right based on form, if the riders don't turn up you have had it. Three points more over the two legs from our No1 guests would have sealed the deal. Summers should be especially ashamed he only beat Fox all night. No complaints though just galling that it has now happened twice to us in three years. On the plus side two trophies in the cabinet again , second in the table when most experts predicted us to struggle to get in the top six and also finished the season with the top team average. Well done all the riders and management at the OTA on another great season.
