greyhoundp Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Well it seems The Heathens are already planning for 2012, according to the website riders who are NOT guaranteed a Team place for next year have been informed,that they may look for another team, amongst those informed were Danny Stoneman who received a text informing him his services were not required in 2012, good luck Spike wherever you end up.

Danny deserved more than a text, if thats true then the Heathens promotion should be ashamed especially as their "Chairman" is in the communications/media business.

771neil Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Why should they be ashamed they didn t have to tell him anything only riders they need to talk to is there own assets and club/riders they want to use. As you should know 28 days after last match they all go back to there parent club some clubs don t tell lads they don t want them and to start looking elsewhere as not there problem.

heathen79 Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 Adam Roynon confirmed as Heathens Number 1 and captain on 9.08 average. Good luck to him for a safe and successful season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
refereerick Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Good to see Adam fixed up and hopefully he'll have an injury free season for once. Now I have nothing against Adam as he's an asset to the NL but my understanding was last season you couldn't ride in the NL if you had a PLspot at the start of the season and you averaged more than 4 in the PL. Adam has a spot at Workington on a 4.5 average for next season. As the NL AGM hasn't been held yet, how do Dudley know the rules are to be changed for next season? Or have I got something wrong here?

villiers210 Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 The ruling was changed before the 2011 season - riders with a PL average of 5 cannot ride in the NL these days. Doesnt answer the question you asked about rule changes for next season though, unless some of the rules have already been agreed for 2012 prior to the AGM.

21st century heathen Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 All league's have a pre-AGM where all but dotting the i's and crossing the t's should be sorted. It's only when someone moves the goalposts behind your back that there's a problem. Fortunately, despite a few spats the NL doesn't seem to suffer the same in-fighting seen elsewhere. I suspect all clubs know where they stand with regard to rules for next season. ----------------------- So we have Adam and Darryl signed with another to be announced soon. Tom has posted on FB that he has one team sorted for next year, and just one more to sort out now. Hmm... Let's call a spade a spade it would be a big shock if Tom and Ash weren't back with the Heathens in 2012. Roynon Morris Perry Ritchings That would be a good start that would make many a Heathen happy. I expect at least a couple of new faces next season. Call it gut instinct.

blank13 Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Tom Bollards might be worth a serious look at, has only been beaten once in the midland league and really wouldnt be suprised if he was in the PL next season, very suprised that he hasnt been signed up yet.

greyhoundp Posted December 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Byron Becker announced as Our New signing, good luck to him, and The rest of The Heathens, so far its Royno, Dazza and Byron. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21st century heathen Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 I'll be honest - I'm not convinced about Bekker at all. I could be completely wrong but I can only comment on what I've seen myself and I'm not sure he's going to make a big step up. He gets my support while he's wearing a Heathens race jacket. So c'mon Boris make me come back in about 10 months time and admit I was wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So c'mon Boris make me come back in about 10 months time and admit I was wrong. I am of the same opinion as you 21st, but i guess the attraction is that he is expected to improve on his current average, and he can gate which we need, a steady rather than spectacular rider, but i think this signing counts out my hoped for signing of either Jake Anderson or Paul Starke, unless one of the two in aussie land dont re-sign. That second reserve spot signing is looking all the more important now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

21st century heathen Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 ...i guess the attraction is that he is expected to improve on his current average... So was 'Fred'. Good luck to Bryon hope he get many years hate seeing riders having to move every year. Yes, it seems the days of one-club career riders is behind us. The points limit is just too low for more than the odd few riders to stay put. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villiers210 Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Regardless of anything else, its obvious that with a 40 point restriction, you have to field as many riders as possible who are capable of upping their averages. Not much else matters really, and at 6.5 points, Byron is well worth a punt in my book. There again, I am just slightly biased as I have been a huuuuge fan of his for the past 2 years. Welcome Byron and 'Ommer 'Um 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
