montie Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Good news about Ben, but do you think he's ready for the no 5 berth ? If he aint ready now he never will be!!!! 3rd year NL should be heat leaders at the very least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldy Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 If he aint ready now he never will be!!!! 3rd year NL should be heat leaders at the very least If riders who did not make heat leader in three years retired then we would certainly have a fair turn over of riders!!!

vog Posted December 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 So, Stoke have announced their third signing as Luke Priest on a 5.67. Didn't see that one coming, but definitely has the ability to up that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 So, Stoke have announced their third signing as Luke Priest on a 5.67. Didn't see that one coming, but definitely has the ability to up that! If you finish off with Adam McKinna, Liam Carr, Emerson Jones and another 3 pointer (Liam Rumsey?), it doesn't look a bad team but I can't see it challenging for honours come October, unless Jones turns into something special.

builderbob Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 they only need a super 3 pointer to make that team a top team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vog Posted December 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 So,Kyle Hughes makes it 4 on a 6.12. Didn't see that one coming,but if his head and kit are right,he is a 9 point rider. Could be a fantastic signing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyhoundp Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Kyle a good rider, bags of ability, not so sure its his head, probably more down to finances. just to say, he is one i wouldnt have minded seing in heathens colours, especially on that average, a snip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heathen1984 Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 I agree vog he could get up to a 9 average. But he as that average for a reason dont he! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek 613 Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 (edited) I agree vog he could get up to a 9 average. But he as that average for a reason dont he! He does could that be he just did not get on with the IOW circuit? Maybe finance could also have something to do with it as someone has already said Edited December 10, 2012 by Derek 613 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heathen1984 Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Yeh maybe so but im just saying he does have that aveage gor a reason. I think he is a good signing thou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21st century heathen Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 I'd half guessed Hughes was heading for Stoke from a couple of things I'd heard. He should make an absolute mockery of his start average. Even if Smart finds it tough to get back into the groove and average over 9 I think a slight dip by him will be more than offset by Hughes recovery to something like what he's capable off. Priest will do a decent enough job in the middle order and just keeps the points ticking over. Decent start to team building but there are slight question marks over Smart after the best part of two years out and whether Reade can kick on or just consolidate.

Ommer Mon Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Cracking signing - Kyle Hughes. I do have my doubts about Smartie hitting the ground running with his 9.5 average though. I do wish him well however. He did a cracking job for Dudley and deserves a good run following his injuries. Good luck Lee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChubbyChesgire Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Looking good - if we can get Liam Carr for 3.61 - leaves 7.32 for the last two - which should give us some options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is there though that has a average below 4.32 and isn't a 3 pointer? Dan Stoneman is back at Smallbrook, I expect Ryan Blacklock to stop at Buxton, Chris Widman, Richard Andrews, and the only other rider I can think of is Tom Hill.

Wouldnt be at all surprised to see Malcolm come up with another rider, from the not to distant past, who may be wanting to give it one last effort, Luke Chessell, dont know if his 4+ average is to high.

torpointfanatic22 Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Yeh maybe so but im just saying he does have that aveage gor a reason. I think he is a good signing thou Kyle's had a massive amount going on behind the scenes of which it wouldn't be right to splash on here over the past 18 months not to mention his injuries. If he is back to his old self and is fully committed he could easily be Stoke's number one. Great signing and I wish him and the other former Plymouth riders all the best.

OdsalBoy Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Young Bollards should definitely be given a go on a 3.00, he could easily achieve a 5.00 or higher. Suprised he hasnt been snapped up yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
