mdmc82 Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Is this the thing you mean Orlov? http://www.swindonlinksport.com/swindon_sports_news/runnersandriders2015 Some decent options in there. I like the sound of having Howarth back. Hoping Howarth, Fricke & Andersen are at Coventry next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy robin Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Why not CR? There are plenty to go around.................!! Just not for me Skidder as don't believe they try for the club whilst on loan as they still want to be a Pirate. You can have them as don't want 2nd best that's all & that's what made Leigh a legend as he chose the Robins over Poole & their ain't many who've done that:-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattK Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Jason has that average because of his massive improvement & there is still more to come for me so would pre-fer him to anyone at no 1 if Killer isn't coming back. Doyle also has a high average due to riding in a very poor Leicester side. His average with bonuses (8.67) is only very slightly higher than Batch/Kildemand (8.42) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecoombdog Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 He's an asset & about time we used him really. Cant make him ride though. He sounds like he would rather be back at Leicester. If thats true and Killer cant be tempted back then we go from having 3 good options to 1. No way will Holder or Ward ride for Swindon!

TitusTokio Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 A good run down of how it all works here. Can see a couple of sides, Coventry maybe, protecting second round picks http://www.swindonli...itworksthedraft Robins in the lap of the gods a little but should end up with a solid pairing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DunRobin Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 (edited) Doyle also has a high average due to riding in a very poor Leicester side. His average with bonuses (8.67) is only very slightly higher than Batch/Kildemand (8.42) How would riding in a poor side improve his average, it's the opposition main string riders that he has been beating to improve his average. He is one of the few main string riders to improve his average, for most there has been a drop due to few easy rides.

Agree we can't make him but should be giving it a real serious go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) Darryl Ritchings is approaching a few NL clubs for a position in 2015 and has also been added to the group B FTR list but initially looking for guest rides until he sees how his season goes. http://www.swindonlinksport.com/swindon_sports_news/darrylnobodyknows Edited November 21, 2014 by A ORLOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is one of the few main string riders to improve his average, for most there has been a drop due to few easy rides. Doyle's average is high (8.44) because he rarely finished behind a teammate and therefore didn't pick up many bonus points, only 10 in a whole season. Batch/Kildemand averages are both 7.58, but when you compare their average with bonuses (both 8.42), they are very similar to Doyle's which is 8.67. Therefore Doyle's average is inflated by virtue of being part of a poor team at Leicester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSmiler Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) Rumours flying all around Facebook that Kyle Howarth has signed for the Robins.

I would be well happy with that - he should have stayed with us last year too! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I thought that was the case & might be my mate is wrong but he's usually pretty accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
