screm Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 He wasn't 'sacked' he just had a crisis in confidence and said he was going to take the rest of the year break from the PL and come back next year. Unfortunately he went to the wrong team (Just kidding, I'm glad to see he is back to his best ) Didn't Worrall asked to be stood down from the Newcastle team, so he could go NL to rebuild his confidence. Looks like that's exactly what's happened, all credit to him for taking one step back to take two forward. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevePark Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Was he not sacked? Is he helping out in Poland? I mean how could he do this and ride all three leagues? As the two posters above here correctly state, Steve asked to be rested, so, no, he wasn't sacked. Newcastle race on a Sunday (the same day as Poland), therefore a return to Newcastle was out of the question. He can still ride in all three leagues and help Richie in Poland, when fixtures allow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheekycobra Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) As far as I'm aware Doolan is a professional rider, he doesn't have employment outside speedway, therefore IMO he had all winter to get himself fit with gym work and ample time to get track time at Leicester, Scunthorpe or Northside when they had track days. Take his teammate Mr Vissing, its well known he hired a track to get in the required practice, and it shows with the start he has made to the season. It doesn't make any difference. Take Hugh Skidmore who never touched a bike from the last meeting last season, until Press and practise this year...... He's flying. Sometimes time away works as well.

I`m sure that's true but my answer was about Mr Doolan and his possible lack of prep for this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cue Ball Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 If Skidmore follows his pattern from Sheffield he will look like a world beating number 1 for the first 2 months whilst his equipment is newly tuned/serviced etc and then he will steadily decline for the remainder of the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellers101 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 I'm surprised Carl Wilkinson has broken Redcar's new air fence yet - although he did give it a good go last week in all fairness to him. Also very happy with how Luke Crang has shaped up so far, nice style and looks good. Jan Graverson had the honour of popping the first bit of bouncy castle last week. He wasn't 'sacked' he just had a crisis in confidence and said he was going to take the rest of the year break from the PL and come back next year. Unfortunately he went to the wrong team (Just kidding, I'm glad to see he is back to his best ) Yeah he was poor at Redcar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HadrianDog Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Interesting to see Steve's mini interview on Sky recently. I tried to 'do it on my own' was his comment. At the start of last season we at Brough put his poor showing down to confidence-and while that may have had some bearing- this seems to indicate that his equipment may have been at fault. Hopefully his currant form is showing that inborn talent does require a 'leg up' via sponsorship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Ryan DouglasNo big surprise with Ryan, he is flying and carrying on where he left off last season. Scunthorpe fans could see he was something a bit special and it's really pleasing to see him return and look like fulfilling that potential. Number one by the end of the season? If he continues in his current form then that's quite a possibility. I would agree with some previous posts about Steve Worrall. He's impressed me more than most. I often pop down to Scunnys training sessions to see who's there and watch a bit of action. The Worralls have been regular visitors this winter. They rode a pair, pushed each other hard, you could see the effort these two we're putting in, was really impressive to see. Steve looked very much on par with his brother. It would seem all this effort and dedication is paying off. Maybe other riders should take note...put the time and effort in during the winter and you'll hopefully reap the rewards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve55 Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 For me it's got to be Josh Bates - never thought he be in the top three of the U-21 never mind CHAMPION! Then his fantastic performance at Redcar last night, brilliant. Must admit I was more than a little sceptical about him coming into the Sheffield team this year, but his first meeting at Scunthorpe proved he had real commitment and although his first couple of competitive meetings at Sheffield were poor it appears he's now gained confidence and has the ability to go far in this sport. Good on yer Josh keep it up kid! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
