dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 I see from the international thread that Gino Manzares won the meeting in Perth beating Rohan and Doyle amongst others. .If we did go with a new overseas rider he would have to be top of the list.

cowboy cookie returns? Posted November 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Going left field here but anyone know what Sam Masters Average would be? How about Worrall Lanham Tungate Heeps Masters Ellis Bates I.ve put Lanham in as you need some experience & he can still be a good second string. I would love to see Manzares at Foxhall but have a feeling he is EL bound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardinalSin Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Last I heard Gino now has a young family and had little interest in committing to a full season in England. This was as recent as the summer so I'd say he was doubtful for any club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see Manzares at Foxhall but have a feeling he is EL bound. Masters has been labelled on other threads at 7.43 so unfortunately that top 5 wont fit even with two 3 pointers. As promising as Manzares looks a 5 point EL would surely be too much of a risk in the new set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 You get no where not taking risks, ask somerset that changed their reserves just before the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id say he is well worth a look at PL level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndbendbeerhut Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 This has potential and good experience at reserve Leigh Lanham 7.16 Gino Manzares 7 Cameron Heeps 6.74 Nico Covatti 7 Rohan Tungate 7.05 Ritchie Hawkins 3.96 Chris Mills 3.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardinalSin Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Manzarez would be 5.00 not 7.00 wouldn't he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Manzarez would be 5.00 not 7.00 wouldn't he?Not sure - possibly due to him having no league experience anywhere. Personally however I would argue than no non Brit should come in on less than 6 and their average should not fall below the initial figure at anytime. But thats a separate issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndbendbeerhut Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 (edited) Looks like he would be classed as a cat 4 rider so would be a 5.00. Sign him up now! In that case swap Mills from my earlier lineup and bring in either Snedon, Wilkinson or Newman. Manzares would start at reserve. or Richard Lawson 8.28 Gino Manarazes 5.00 Cameron Heeps 6.74 Leigh Lanham 7.16 Rohan Tungate 7.05 Ritchie Hawkins 3.96 Adam Ellis 4.25 Edited November 24, 2013 by 2ndbendbeerhut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardinalSin Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 He was definitely a 5.00 when Plymouth I think it was named him as a signing last winter, only for that move to not materialise for whatever reason. Manzares was very impressive I thought on his Foxhall debut this year in the Star Of Anglia, and Chris Louis was also very impressed and did hint that he could be a future option when interviewed on the mic. He would definitely be a signing that would capture the imagination, and goes back to comments earlier in the thread that I feel it's always better to include a new rider or two to freshen things up.

Baldyman Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 So we have all had a go at team building, but what do people actually think the team will be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardinalSin Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 (edited) So we have all had a go at team building, but what do people actually think the team will be? Probably very similar to last years, Louis has hinted as much in the Ipswich Star more than once since the season finished. I think the only change will be Barker out and a replacement up to the points left after this years 6 have re-signed. We'll see but I hope I'm wrong and we get a surprise or two. A fair few have now named at least one rider, very quiet from us so far. Edited November 24, 2013 by CardinalSin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 6 minus Barker are not bad riders don't get me wrong, but if it is just the one change and those 6 return it's hardly going to excite the fans. Fresh faces needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Im sure we wont go with a team that puts Leigh at No1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Plus we couldn't win anything with those 6 and one of the best heatleaders, so how are we going to win with a less heat leader. I think aljack was right all along saying certain riders are only in the team because of family connections. I can forsee another drop in attendance.

CardinalSin Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Plus we couldn't win anything with those 6 and one of the best heatleaders, That's because those 6 and one of the best heatleaders weren't all riding when the trophies were handed out. Our 1-7, when all fit, was a superb team. All teams pick up injuries, but we got stuffed by them at the worst possible time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
