Jeanzi Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 He'd struggle to get that in the National LeagueObviously you have forgotten about when Workington visited Rye House last year. I can remember him passing the one and only Steady Eddie! There again Eddie Kennett has only been in the Elite League and been around for a while now. Unlike an Aussie who had only ridden the track once before... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scaramanga Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 i dont think campton will make a outright top rider but on his day he is good enough for a prem league place above alot of brits who are riding in the national league all this bull about keeping brits out of jobs if there that good they would get a team place some might get a team place a bit easier and make the step up a bit sooner than they would have the simple fact is theres not enough good enough brits to fill team places and give us the standard we expect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, anyone can have a bad day and Edward finished the season with an 8+ average Edited February 8, 2015 by Shads 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scaramanga Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) Are you trying to say that Camptons better than his 4.66 average suggests? not really saying that but yes i would say he's slightly better at the moment but not too much on his day with no machinary problems he can do a job but more to the point i was saying there are unlucky riders who are better than the average they sit on some are better than the equipment they can afford also if i was team building he would not have been 1 of the first to be signed theres better out there but i would considor him as part of the overall 7 if the others allowed to take a chance on a rider who MAY improve given a good run Edited February 8, 2015 by scarra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lioness Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 so if he is only 'slightly' better then Shads point is valid as he has not achieved the required 7 point average Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaramanga Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 so if he is only 'slightly' better then Shads point is valid as he has not achieved the required 7 point average i never said he was i actualy said i didnt think he would make a top rider the point was shads said he only looked at riders average not there abilaty to improve there avearge if mason rode at his best all the time and had less machinary issues which he seams to have a lot off who knows he may hit the magic 7pt average Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its ALL races that count and averages are the best indicator there is of that 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Najjer Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Probably a good job MPT quit as the rule that allowed him to drop back down on an old average no longer exists.

jenga Posted February 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 lets face it, every teams management/promoters look daft at the start of every season. they build a team up to the previous seasons rules and then the bspa change the rules before the start of the new season.. rules , what rules.?.
