spin king Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Let's see how he does tomorrow against Berwick Not disputing that his performances have not been up to scratch for Rye, not really looked at them to be honest. But Rocket Ben is talking about his Elite League meetings and the standard of rider he is beating in the Elite League, which is a bit unfair, basically he is trying to point out that he has not beat any of the top riders in the Elite League. That would be difficult with the position he rides in the team, as he is never programmed to ride against them, you cannot win or lose to rider if you don't race them. .

Fromafar Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Amazing the difference one night makes paid sixteen as a guest at Workington and our former leader JB manages a point tonight better than none i suppose, Glad i didn't go,had a great time watching Lakeside torn apart by Coventry with the Rye House owned rider Jason Garrity top scoring for Coventry instead of being in Berwick where he should have been riding,what a joke our once great sport has become Fair play to Steve Boxall seems Edward forgot all he learnt about the Berwick track then Hope the Newcastle meeting is better to watch Kennett never learned anything when he was there ,he was better away from home when he was a Bandit.

Shadders Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Kennett never learned anything when he was there ,he was better away from home when he was a Bandit.None of the Rockets wanted to come to Berwick tonight. The idea was to turn up, ride and get away without any damage. Only Steve Boxall didn't read the script and rode his balls off. Fair play to him.

Fair play to him.Boxall is a decent rider when he wants to be,he has been decent at Berwick in the past.Berwick have the same attitude when they go to Armadale IMO.

Robinh88 Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 I reckon we could take the Monarchs over two legs not so sure about the Rebels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) I reckon we could take the Monarchs over two legsThere would have to be a spectacular improvement in the performance at Armadale. I've seen you twice there this year. You've no chance on that evidence. Edited August 24, 2014 by Shadders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've no chance on that evidence. Most teams stand little or no chance round Armadale, Berwick sit at the top of that list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinh88 Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 I really feel we can hit 60 against them next time as long as all the riders are on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) I really feel we can hit 60 against them next time as long as all the riders are on itYou're understandably euphoric after a couple of thumping home wins against two sides who were well below par, but you're living in cloud cuckoo land if you think the Moanarchs are gonna roll over and have their belly tickled. You've had a very good season, but come the play offs it's all gonna unravel. Edited August 24, 2014 by Shadders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSC67 Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Not a meeting for the purists last night Rye House where as awful as most people had predicted , with a makeshift team I don't suppose you can expect much else , Still a win is a win and all that & hopefully we can make it a double tonight in the return Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're a team low on confidence whereas yours is on a high. Looked like there was plenty of effort put in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben91 Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Not disputing that his performances have not been up to scratch for Rye, not really looked at them to be honest. But Rocket Ben is talking about his Elite League meetings and the standard of rider he is beating in the Elite League, which is a bit unfair, basically he is trying to point out that he has not beat any of the top riders in the Elite League. That would be difficult with the position he rides in the team, as he is never programmed to ride against them, you cannot win or lose to rider if you don't race them. . It's not unfair at all. I've stated fact. He beat Woffinden in one heat yes, that is not out of the question. It it also fair to say Woffinden has been somewhat out of sorts domestically this year, regardless of the fact that he went on to win the meeting. Put two riders together enough times on track and the worse rider will eventually win, that can happen on their very first meeting. To prove this point, on the occasion he guested at Belle Vue for Birmingham at number two he beat Scott Nicholls in one race, Nicholls finished last in that heat and Garrity third. He scored two points in the entire meeting. Nicholls was unbeaten until that point. I was not trying to point out that he has not beaten any top riders in the league at all and nothing I said should have led you to making that conclusion. I was highlighting the fact that he has not been beating second strings on a consistent basis and I am right in stating that. As Coventry's top reserve he has more than likely raced top riders as a R/R or reserve replacement at times too but he has not on any of those occasions beaten those top riders as I have listed above ALL the riders he has beaten in opposition teams that are second string or above.
