luluthetiger Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 There must also be a question over Albin. He is not the current Argentinian National Champion. Â No, but he's the holder of an EU (Spanish) passport. Step right in, sir! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msc1874 Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Wonder what the riding order will be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caithgen Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 1. Craig Cook 2. Derek Sneddon 3. Theo Pijper 4. Max Fricke 5. Sam Masters 6. Jozsef Tabaka 7. Â That would be my riding order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Wonder what the riding order will be? I can see that fluctuating between home and away meetings . Obviously Cook will be number 1 , but i can see Pijper riding at 5 at home meetings with Masters at 4 and them reversing that away from Armadale . Cook and Pijper will be a stronger heat 13 combination at home , while Masters will be more effective in that heat away . Elsewhere i reckon Sneddon at 2 and Fricke at 3 and Tabaka at 7 with either Helfer or Bekker at 6 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotchopper Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 what's the latest with the tr rule, is it still only up to ht12? if that's the case can't see max at no 3 to start. i'd be tempted to start him at no 2 just for that extra support. pijper 3, sneddon 4, masters 5 and joe 7. after the first average change sneddon can move back to 2 as either max will be flying or smokin joe will be in the main body of the team. Â the alternative is pair masters and fricke at 3 and 4. all depends how well they go, i need to keep reminding myself that pijper finished with a better ave than sam last season. Â i really like the idea of a different riding order at home than away and don't understand why more teams don't do it. unlikely monarchs will do this as they always seem to drag their feet about changing rider order.

Mr Blobby Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 (edited) For me it's 1.) cookie 2.) deek 3.) Theo 4.) max 5.) Sam 6.) Joe 7.) whoever it may be  But after max gets his average him and joe will probably swap places in the team with Joe going to 4 and max to 6 Edited January 8, 2013 by Mr Blobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Blobby Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Can anyone confirm that max will become our asset after he gets his official average? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazc Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Can anyone confirm that max will become our asset after he gets his official average? Â I would reckon he would unless the Elite vultures have snapped him up on the QT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddyfivetoes Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 I would reckon he would unless the Elite vultures have snapped him up on the QT Â I would guess that with John Campbell's long experience and Alex Harkess' influence, Max will become an Edinburgh asset. Â Also, with the same influence coming to bear, he will be granted his visa. Which means the other first-year Aussies at other tracks should get theirs as well -- too much of an outcry if not.

SCOTLAND1314 Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) And marcel helfer completes our team  http://www.edinburgh...cle.asp?id=1253  Really pleased that Marcel has rejoined the Mighty Monarchs.  IMO the best Edinburgh Monarchs team on paper ever assembled.  A couple of solid professionals Derek and Theo providing experience and in the former's case fantastic captain skills.  Two young reserves with bags of talent, Marcel and Joe.  A potential gem in Max.  A young and exciting rider who has already shown he is definitely going places in the sport, Sam.  And the best rider in the league last year, a young man that is very ambitious and has the talent and dedication to back that ambition up...Cookie.  Well done to all involved in piecing that team together.  I only hope the crowds return to watch such an entertaining line up.

SCOTLAND1314 Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 So what are you saying you are quite excited  I must admit to being very optimistic about the season ahead. Ultimately the trophies will end up wherever they end up but I feel the team is packed with young, entertaining riders.... and on a week to week basis have the potential to serve up some cracking racing at Armadale.
