Good start wouldnt want anyone else from this season retained but it will all come down to ££.

 

I'm with you all the way mate, Kyle is the only one I'd retain as the others haven't shown enough to warrant a return or in Simota's case I just don't see him improving on an average of over 6 in the main body.

 

As I put on the Devils site the side I want to see (money no object) would be...

 

Robson

R Worrall

Newman

Wells

Birks

Boxall

Shanes

 

I know Wells asked for silly money last season so doubt that would change and getting Boxall away from Rye on any kind of decent machinery is near enough impossible but one can only hope!

 

All I do hope is that we go all round strength rather than big number 1 but as you say it's all about the £££!

I'll be astonished if he isn't back for next season.

 

Probably Plymouth's most popular rider last season, and that includes Newman.

Ashley Birks has already signed for Sheffield.

To be fair I did post that over a month ago. It was more of a 'wish list' than anything else.

Popular doesn't make you good value. He is coming in on an average of 6.10 which was basically obtained from home form at reserve. He has been poor at most away tracks and starting in the 1-5 will only see that average drop.

 

He is great when the track suits but when it's too slick or wet Simota goes missing. On song he is great to watch but that hasn't been often enough especially away. I think there are better, more consistent options out there on better averages.

 

But you're right he will be in the side next season as will Benko.

Don't disagree with any of that, Mike.

 

While it is his popularity that will get him a place rather than his potential I think there is a place for that.

I think that's fair and I've often been quoted as saying I'd sooner see an entertaining team get beat than a boring team win. Simota can provide memorable moments but I do think he requires a degree of 'carrying', he really needs to be more consistent home and away. That said if we can come up trumps with the rest of the top 5 we may just be OK.

 

But providing all goes well this weekend at the AGM I think we can pencil in Newman, Simota and Benko for sure.

Benko Back ? surely close to being the worst none British rider in the UK, if you re sign him look forward to another season of struggles, there are better young NL riders out there, but i guess they might not like the travelling down to Plymouth. Stefan Nielsen, Joe Jacobs, Rob Branford
