Islander15 Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Think Phillips is nailed on.Only team who can probably afford him in the NL Philips alongside Williamson or Stoneman would made a quality pairing imo. I expect Greaves to be announced tomorrow but hopefully it's one of the bottom 2 to give us a clue as to the pairing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyhoundp Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) I As I said the 7 Heathens we put out in 2014 will be the best that can be put out and they will be worthy of the CH race jacket, if they do not come up to scratch.....change them for somebody else, do not hang on and hope that they will come good sometime in the future! Is that not what team building is about no matter what league we are in? Remember Wolves debacle a couple of years ago when they had to hang on to two reserves from lands afar that would have been beaten by any of our top 7 last year and at least 5 of this years septet!!! Nathan is nearly certain to be back in the main body of the team and if he rides as good as he can or like when he was pushed off the white line by Gareth on a number of occasions then he will get an increase in his average at home which he richly deserves. Sorry to have to disagree, Wolves reserves in the EL and Cradleys reserves ithe NL, two completely different situations, whereas Wolves reserves would be expected to hit the ground up and running, But for me National League reserves are expected to show promise, be competetive, and improve as the season goes on, and most importantly, to do this without any pressure. If i recall last season it was stated by OUR management Team, that Nathan was under NO pressure to win, win, win, and he repayed that by scoring some very valueable points away from home. While we are on the subject i will say here and now, he will in the long run, prove to be a better rider than Max Clegg, Max had a slightly false average, due to the fact, he missed some away meetings, so therefore his average would have been lower had he ridden in them, bcz Max,s away form aint brilliant. Think Phillips is nailed on.Only team who can probably afford him in the NL If you have seen the Kent crowds Im 100% certain they can afford him. Stoneman, Neale, or Philips,any two from those three, and as for Williamson he has told Jayne he isnt doing NL in 2014, so either he is lying, and he is covering something up, and thats where these jungle drums that have been coming from fellow Heathens fans, who seem very, very positive Williamson has signed for Cradley.

Hunty Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 It's Danny Phillip who has been announced this morning for Cradley. First reserve and they expect the next signing to be announced next week and talks with Greaves are starting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Williamson says in the Speedway Star that he's signed a contract with a NL team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunty Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Yeh i had a tweet back from saying he had signed for 2 clubs...we know that one is Scunny in the PL wonder where his NL team will be! Fingers crossed its with us at Cradley! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banani Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Has Phillips signed as an asset or just for the season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondie20 Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Matt has not said anything to anyone about not riding this year he has not lied and isn't covering anything up so I don't know where Jayne has heard this from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldy Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Think Phillips is nailed on.Only team who can probably afford him in the NL I think I may be well out of touch but I thought the pay rates were the same for all clubs in the NL?. If not they should be, as the big clubs just hoover up the best and leave the rest to scrap for the bits. Looks like with the signings it will be a wipe out for Cradley for this year, o well may be a return for me back to speedway for 2015 as the disjointed league racing continues this year. All I ask is 7 riders of equal or as close to equal riding against each other....I hate to think how far in front Ben Wilson and Steve W will finish of the rest when they get going. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucifer sam Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) Steve Worrall, Max Clegg and Danny Philipps? It's rather flattering that Cradley are trying to win the 2014 NL title with the 2012 Scunthorpe Saints riders. Might have to see if I can pop up a couple of times during the season. All the best Rob Edited January 8, 2014 by lucifer sam 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed its with us at Cradley! Pity that no club PL or NL had the courtesy to contact Buxton first or that the rider concerned could tell us the truth as recently as last week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed its with us at Cradley! Well if he has signed for an NL Team, it seems pretty sure from the rumblings, who it is. I can understand why Jayne feels so hard done by.

montie Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 May as well give the NL title to the Heathens now--let the rest go for something else!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunty Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 May as well give the NL title to the Heathens now--let the rest go for something else!! Doubt it, Kings lynn have a good amount to play with and look strong in the places they have filled, Kent Kings look very promising. Were the team to beat but the team everyone wants to join as the backing they get from the club and fans finacially is a big draw! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greyhoundp Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Next rider announcement is on Sunday, rather an unusual day for such a thing, but it appears there is due to be an article in the local Sunday Mercury newspaper, with an iterview with the rider concerned. my betting is its Nathan Greaves he lives within the catchment area of the Sunday Mercury, role on Sunday, when another piece of the jigsaw is revealed.

Hunty Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Highly doubt it will be the other reserve, the article will be more about Nathan and what they did last year more than what will happen this year as we rarely get any print in the mercury if ever before! That's if it is Nathan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
