I think it is either one of their Grandfathers is Scottish so they qualify for a British reduction.

Until he rode in Aussie champs!!! then--just like Todd when at Newport,lost the right to claim the reduction

 

Same reason Cam Heeps withdrew from them before joining Ipswich,and i guess same reason Nick Morris never rode in them

 

I dont mind one bit that the lad is in the the UK riding next year,i look forward to seeing him---but it does seem the powers at be make the rules as they go along--which intern make the sport look daft

3rd Rohan Tungate

Shows the promise and ability he has ......still should be a 5.00 ;)

In my opinion the team is a gamble being so top heavy, I know points have been argued about certain riders rapidly improving but if Morris or Allen gets injured there is a big hole to fill. Ipswich and Newcastle seem better balanced to cope with the inevitable injuries that occur. That said I still think Worky will be there or thereabouts. Its shaping up to be a cracker of a season and I look forward to knocking you guys out of the cup early on ;)

Only speedway fans could possibly think that signing a good team is a risk as they may get injured.

 

Yeah, play it safe, sign a rubbish team.

Ah but because his great grandfathers cousins cousin (wee Jimmy) is british he comes in on a 3.00 even though he rode in the aussie under 21's last year plus rode in the top league in denmark and averaged over 7.00!

That was because wee Jimmy was transported to Aus many years ago

Point out to me where I said sign a rubbish team? All I said was it is risk and I stand by that, if it all clicks then they will be right up there but I would still rather have my Comets side :)

Can't understand people saying this Somerset team wnn't be up to it. The top 3 in Doyle, Morris and Allen is very strong. Supported by Wright, this team will be formidable at the OTA and more than a match for most clubs away from home.

 

Whilst I wouldn't say they look like league winners, they are paly off material in my opinion. Lets face it, that's all supporters of any team want to hear and see at the start of the new season!

yes I would... Next??

 

So is that any rider or just Kurtz, so say Doyle by some fluke became available on a 7 you would say no cos he is clearly better than that........., if he ( Kurtz) averages say 4 next season then we have caught a cold by expecting him to do better surely.If your promotion had had the chance to get him do you think they would have said no aswell. At the end of the day the boy has never ridden at Prem level; in his life,he is an unknown quantity wwho has never ridden even the OTA or any of the other tracks, lets just see how he goes before you start making assumptions on what is average should be.

So what's your point??.... He should not be a 3 point rider in the PL.... Only way he could be is if they have changed the rules, can't you get your head round that or something??

 

On what grounds is he a 3 point rider??... Certain clubs in speedway get away with certain things.... End of story.

Until someone can prove by the rule book how he comes in on a 3.00 and don't just say because his relatives moved to Aus over 300 years ago!

 

He has rode in the Aussie 21's which makes him an Aussie and competitively in europe last year (top league in denmark) beating the likes of Bjerre and averaged over 7.00.

 

SR 17.2.1
Riders new to PL racing are categorised as follows:
Cat 1: Riders with an “end of the previous season’s published average” in the Polish
Ekstraliga or the Swedish Elitserien of above 6.00 points and a Rider subject to a

Cat 2: Riders with an “end of the previous season’s published average” in the Polish
Ekstraliga or Swedish Elitserien of 6.00 and below plus ALL other Riders riding
currently in any Professional Speedway League,
Cat 3: Riders not riding in a Professional Speedway League (not Cat 4)
Cat 4: Commonwealth and USA (to a maximum of 4 each season) Riders new to British

Cat 5: Riders who have ridden in the National Development League as an Amateur
17.2.2 The Assessed MA's for new Riders to the PL racing is:
FIM Grand Prix Rider EL as SR 17.2.3 PL not permitted
Cat 1 EL as SR 17.2.3 PL 8.00

Cat 3 (not needing GBE Sponsorship) PL 5.00
Cat 3 (needing GBE Sponsorship) PL 8.00
Cat 4 PL 5.00
Cat 5 PL 3.00
If you go by these rules well he isn't a 3.00 thats for sure

No you wouldn't..

 

A three word reply is not a meaningful response.

 

Would you be kind enough to provide a more detailed response as to why the criteria set out in SR 17.2.1 above do not apply to Brady Kurtz, inasmuch that he should be assessed as 5.00 ?

So at the end of all of this you state that, the rules have been changed, they were changed because it was Somerset who were the club involved, and had your club been offered him you would have been appalled and would have ranted on here that your particular club had become a favourite of the powers that be and had effectively broken the rules to accommodate him for you.I am not an expert on the rules of speedway ( who is ) but there must be some reason why he is on a three however obscure, what I do disagree with is your thinly veiled attack that it is something to do with Somerset being some sort of favoured team in high places and your ridiculous claim that had he been offered to your team you would have said no.
