lionstigersnotbearsohmy Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Best wishes to Simon Lambert at the launch pad next season. Sure he will be a steal on that average, coming back fully fit. Came back from injury too soon last season and paid the price. Looking forward to my trips to Hoddesdon. Best wishes to the Rockets and their fans in 2014. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudflaps Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 not a massive Kennett fan but I guess he'll do a pretty decent job at number 1, gotta be better than Olly Allen that's for sure. Team looks pretty solid - not sure that Bunyan is a heat leader though to be honest. Also barring injury we should always have a decent rider alongside Lambert at reserve. My main concern is with regards to potential injurys- should anyone get injured I'm sure Uncle len will just go R/R or Bring in Ben Morley - never one to splash the cash is our uncle Len..

Shadders Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 (edited) never one to splash the cash is our uncle Len.. I'm pretty sure he pays his riders well and they don't have to wait weeks for their wages like at some other clubs Edited November 29, 2013 by Shadders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockets Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 I'm not aware of exactly how the air fence will be fitted around the track but I wonder if it will have the effect of negating the infamous camber? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadders Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 (edited) Shadders you are not another love child of uncle Len are you? Another? How many does he have? there is a distinct difference between paying the riders and paying them on time as opposed to being ruthless and bringing in expensive replacements during the season... Yes, I understand that, but as he has a history of loyalty to his riders I can't see any enforced changes happening. The last rider I can remember being "let go" was Kurt Shields Edited November 29, 2013 by Shadders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a big difference in being paid what you're owed, to the penny, on time, as is always the case at Rye. Or not being paid at all, which is happening all to frequently, loads of promises being made this winter, but the more experienced riders know who to trust and who to stay away from.

Oafski Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 I see that Jason Garrity and Simon Lambert are on the Hot list for Elite league reserve places and wondered which team would take precedence in the event of a fixture clash. Hopefully it would be Rye House. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwi Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 If an elite reserve has to give priority to their NL club who replaces them for the night in the elite league? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Stummings Posted December 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Looking at the team, I’m sure it has potential.......... I hope Simon Lambert proves his worth. He is keen to return, so let’s hope it proves a astute move. On the larger away tracks he should prove to be a major asset which is probably why Len has signed him. If he can get 4 or 5 at home will be a trump card. Luke Bowen, well again he can do it around Rye, still struggles a bit away from Rye, let’s hope for an injury free season. Jason Bunyan, for me a key player. Excellent in the pits, that’s potentially worth a couple of points straight away. Again let’s hope for a injury free season and will keep his average or maybe increase by a point. Jason Garrity, can be a big hitter if again he steers clear of injury. Could quite easily average 8 plus average a meeting Tyson Nelson is a make or break season for him. Has all the balance and skill and although I believe he is nursing a nasty leg injury sustained in Aussie, let’s hope he’s fully fit for the start of the 2014 season. A common theme in the 2014 team this riders who are coming back from injuries. Steve Boxall has the ability to do well at this level. He has the skill but machinery has been an issue, generally stays fit, so let’s hope 2014 is no different on the fitness front. Edward Kennett will be good around Rye House, should be good away to, has a heavy average to live up to. If the team has a bit of luck, which has sadly eluded them over the last few seasons then Rye could surprise a few. The worry is ‘what if’ we have injuries and out of form riders but I guess the same can be said for all teams…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellers101 Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 I like the look of the Dry House team. Kennett will lose 1+ at least off his average but will still be a top no1 at PL level. All the rest have the potential to improve beyond Kennetts slight loss I reckon though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocketbee Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 With each team that is announced our team doesn't seem so bad after all!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Not gonna be threatening the top 4, but top 6 is a distinct possibility. Lots of ifs and buts. Injuries could ruin our season. Personally I can't wait for the season to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tocha Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 Slightly off-topic, but good to see both Olly (Somerset) and Anders (Scunthorpe) are fixed up for next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockets Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 Still think letting Anders go is a big mistake. I can see him becoming a top rider this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
