NeilWatson Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 The Coventry team that started the year was built from the assets that Mick Horton Leased , if Kenni was on loan he would not have been in that team Kenni Larsen is not a Coventry asset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylorj Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Nobody is having a personal dig at either Robbo or Lemo. Both are great lads who have been superb for the Diamonds in the past but I'm sorry the fact is that both have had by their high standards poor seasons and in all honesty have been dreadful at times away from home. I don't think either has been that dominant at home either to be frank. We all know Robbo is poor from the start but in past seasons he'd have been all over the rider in front. This season he's been beaten easily a number of times. Away from home we've conceded 5-1's in heat 13 and 15 more often that not and it's become fairly predictable. Anyone watching last night could probably have guessed the outcomes of those two heats before they happened. I'm sure there are reasons, Lemo has had a few bad injuries which would have taken it's toll and he's probably ridden a number of times when not fully fit or even close to it. But the harsh fact is both are in their late thirties and looking ahead to next season would anyone seriously consider having both in the team? Because of the rolling averages they both still carry reasonably high averages and it would be a huge gamble expecting them to hold or improve on those averages. Winning teams are built on having riders who improve their averages. Henry, Ned, Ludo and both Worralls have all upped their averages, most of them by a fair bit. Sorry but the injuries aside the reason we have fallen away is because we haven't been strong enough at the top end. We've had the best second strings in the league and at least one high scoring reserve all season and could still have won it despite the injuries had we won more of those big heats. That's the reason we failed to beat Somerset. I agree with Pablo 133. If there's any chance of getting Rene back we should go for it as he's only going to improve as he gets fitter and more confident. Leave Rene where he is at thanks , he wasn't good enough to fit in your plans last season but now he is improving and getting back to where he should be you want him back , no you can't bugger off He loves the big Derwent Park circuit to show off his passing abilities which are quite frankly, awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantodan Posted October 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 (edited) I Thought Rene wanted away from Sundays to leave him free for his continental commitments and that is why he went to Workington. I will always be a fan of Rene wherever he rides, his blasts from the back were developed at Brough Park not Derwent Park. If the Comets have to close I am sure our promoters would love to try and fit him in again. Edited October 8, 2012 by dantodan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 What about Kenni Larsen. When i was up there in June for our league meeting, i heard that Kenni Larsen had been sold too Coventry, but, upon attending Brandon a few times i hear he is only on loan too them. Could someone shed any light on this please? The previous promotion at Coventry failed to pay for him, despite telling the Diamonds promotion that they had just bought their rider.

SCB Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 The previous promotion at Coventry failed to pay for him, despite telling the Diamonds promotion that they had just bought their rider. Because when they agreed to buy him he was a 4.8 rider, then at the AGM he become a 5.8 rider and the promotion were not staying so it made no sense to buy riders. So Newcastle lost out because of the dodgy dealings of others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
