Woz01 Posted August 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 The more and more I think about it it'll be Barker. An asset, will be cheaper than other options but will also improve the side if 100% fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulr2 Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Been a fan for 40+ years, travel 180 miles each way for home meetings, love the bees but even I am wondering why I should bother? Simple maths says if you can strengthen up by 2 points you do it. Home and away that is +4 for us and -4 for the opposition, 8 point swing is huge. If the promotion do not or can't afford to give us the best chance of winning the league then why should I give my money away?? Really want to believe we are in this together. P.S. Will take this back if we do have a signing waiting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ORLOV Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) In fairness to Summers, he does usually ride well at Brandon. On his previous visit guesting for Belle Vue he's scored 3,3,3,0,0 so could understand why Gary picked him. I imagine he will score well against us Friday. He will and help the Roo bins get a win providing our reserves up their game a bit. Edited August 19, 2015 by A ORLOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waiheke1 Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 By keeping Stuart in our 1-7 we have been able to cherry-pick replacements on a horses-for-courses basis, and to Gary's credit he has booked some excellent guests.Surely if you re declared with a 6.5 rider, they could have ridden one meeting then witheld their services and u could have cherry picked guests of a higher level for 28 days? Or kept the 6.5 rider who would likely be better than a cherry picked 4.5 rider on most tracks? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Summers guested at Brandon the other week and scored 1. So inconsistent at Brandon but he could also be a match winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However guests could make you stronger after how your reserves rode Monday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebrum Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 This will be on sky They have never shown a meeting that was part of a double header on the night. The NL match would need to start before 9.30PM and i can't see SKY allowing a meeting to be run through quick to just get on with it.

mdmc82 Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 I will ask Neil Watson the same question I asked yesterday. Do you honestly think we are strong enough to make the final, let alone win it? What was very clear tonight is we have no number 1. Hans has been terrible this season and the others aren't number ones although they all have scored well this season. Even with Robson back he is still a 4pt rider. Why are our management the only ones that can't see that!!! Even if they won't get a rider like Mikkel or Buzz, then Howarth has shown he wants to return. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
