Ben91 Posted November 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Why Not? Don't see any improvement in him, the only other riders on 4 point averages I'd be happy to see added to what we already have are Bunyan or Roynon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen loads of improvement in him but I did watch him when he roade for Sittingbourne - not had a bad meeting at Rye this year? Bunyan I just don't get - Roynon would be ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to the lad he was advised to take a year out after one or the worst accidents I have ever seen but he wanted to ride for his home club and improved his average aswell.

Bunyan I just don't get - Roynon would be ok Bunyan is one of the most entertaining riders around, so is Roynon, both would be fantastic signings and do a lot better than Hart IMO. I'm not doubting his injuries or any of that, I just don't want him at Rye, not the sort of rider I'd go out of my way to watch, whereas Jason and Adam are.

Adam Roynon has already made his intentions clear that he want's to remain at Redcar and on his average they'd me mad to let him go elsewhere... Still question marks over whether Jason Bunyan will be the same rider we remember before his recent injuries... Jerran Hart has loads of improvement in him, I'd take a punt if he was available and the average was attractive enough.

Odds On Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 watched Bunyan at Stoke for several seasons, great rider and a great team rider, heard he's also good for team spirit within a team. If he doesn't sign for the Rockets then I would hazard a guess and think he wont be short of offers, if Len does his maths then Bunyan should start at reserve, if he does I cant think of a better reserve in the league and quite possibly a rider who will improve there average considerably.

Jerran Hart has loads of improvement in him, I'd take a punt if he was available and the average was attractive enough. Hart is not everyone's cup of tea, but he's 100% into speedway. His outside pass of Nelson at Rye recently was excellent - he worked for a couple of laps to find the line and the space. Not a naturally talented rider, but he does listen and he knows the mechanical side of things too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerran Hart has loads of improvement in him, I'd take a punt if he was available and the average was attractive enough. Bunyan has had worse injuries before and come back as a better rider, Hart tends to rely on his gating too much, Bunyan is box office, as is Roynon. I'd go out of my way to watch either of those two, Hart not so much. If we sign any four pointers other than Bunyan or Roynon, however unlikely either signing could be, I will be very disappointed.

pongo Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 (edited) With five of the regular riders returning for 2012 and Bunyan now confirmed as the sixth rider at the Rockets for 2012 who is this british teenager who has 'nearly' joined the Rockets, any ideas anybody. Neath 8.61 Frampton 7.71 Nelson 5.33 Hawkins 5.18 Bowen 5.03 Bunyan 4.74 TBC ??? Edited November 20, 2011 by pongo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morley lol, don't look a very good team on paper and alot of pressure on Nelson,if the last signing is another youngin?.. he's a great prospect, but 3rd heat leader?? Not yet IMO.

Rockets Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Not sure he rides Rye the best. Hope its Garritty the kid looks a good prospect. I know there will be the moaners about a lack of change and retaining Ritchie is a slightly weird one but 6 of these riders ( assuming Garritty to be the last rider) should all improve their averages. If Nelson continues his improvement and Bunyan gets back to somewhere like his Stoke form then we could have a really strong top four with someone always strong at reserve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiala Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 With five of the regular riders returning for 2012 and Bunyan now confirmed as the sixth rider at the Rockets for 2012 who is this british teenager who has 'nearly' joined the Rockets, any ideas anybody. Neath 8.61 Frampton 7.71 Nelson 5.33 Hawkins 5.18 Bowen 5.03 Bunyan 4.74 TBC ??? The above averages are subject to the 2.5% British reduction (except Nelson) so by my calculations we have approx 6.5 points to play with......and we need to use them!!!! So no Garritty or Morley but a decent 3rd heat leader please. Despite his past record on these matters I really cant see Len going for Morley and being a whopping 3.5 points under the limit. Surely not. Boxall would fit of course (not that I would choose him) and we'd be a point under the limit but I would have thought if it was Boxall Len would have already named him. So come on Len lets have a decent exciting 7 / 7.5 (with BP's) point rider to get the juices flowing again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relieved that Steve Boxall has been left out. He needs to take the sport more seriously if he wants anyone to give him another chance... I hope the last spot isn't penciled in for Brandon Freemantle as someone has suggested. Far from ready for a PL place. The experience could destroy him.

Rockets Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 is nt 5.90 left? Ambitious to get a heat leader on that? Sorry to hear Ben might not be with us next year. Ive followed his progress keenly. Is there anything you can add Waco? Is there a mass exodus to Lakeside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockets Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 I know it wont happen but Ludvig Lindgren would fit perfectly at 5.70. Now that could be quite a team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
