Woz01 Posted November 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 We will have to see the actual list and where the Grade A riders stand before we can know for certain what we would like. Agreed, Sarjeant is the strongest 2nd draft pick there, so have to protect him, if you don't get Garrity, you'll end up getting Roynon or someone similar, could be worse. Funnily enough Sarjeant was only 16th on the last draft list published. A lot of Grade B riders above him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingbee Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 I am torn as would love to have Garrity back again but think Sarjeant stepped up more under pressure and was also able to beat most of the other draft riders. Think Auty and Blackbird could also be good at reserve. Another thing is Sarjeant wouldn't miss meetings due to being an asset but Garrity could end up missing a lot again. It's a tough decision as ideally we would keep both but not the case if can't protect both. Hoping that we hear Harris announced very soon with regards to main team Howarth missed more meetings than Garrity and it will be the same if we sign him next season. sarjeant good second reserve no where near Garrity though I'm probably in the minority here but I'd really rather we protected Sarjeant. He will keep improving. We should go for one of Birks, Roynon or Auty in the first. I think we could get away with Garrity in the 1-5. 1. Andersen 2. Howarth 3. Larsen 4. Garrity 5. Harris 6. Roynon/Birks 7. Sarjeant If Garrity goes in the draft we can't sign him for the 1-5 so better to have him at reserve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, on his actual performances last season, wouldn't say that, admittedly Starke is on par with him, but the rest.... nah, prefer James.

Me too. Just seems strange that James was that low down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panthers89 Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Hans/Harris/Howarth and Sarjeant I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 I don't get why people are suggesting keeping Sarj ahead of Jason. I'm guessing the 4 are Hans, Harris, Howarth and Garrity. If we get Sarj too then great. Hansen has already said he's not coming back and Barker was an act of desperation and we can get better riders.

naffer Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 It's a tough decision but I would protect Garrity. it's going to be a higher standard in the reserve races next year and Jason can compete at the new level. I realise sarjeant did really well in the last third of 2014 but the standard in the second draft is much closer and we still might get to pick him anyway.He will remain an asset in any case. if we protect sarjeant in the second draft we will almost certainly we get Roynon in the first, who is a bit too fragile for my liking. Difficult decision one I did not think would arise. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarj and Starke are the stand out riders in Draft B, and compared to the rest will outscore them easily. Draft A are quite equal, and if you miss out on Garrity, your likely still to get a top end rider, if you miss out on Sarj, could end up with a Jacobs like rider. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why people are getting concerned about protecting Draft B riders. You only need 1 outstanding reserve (a decent 2nd one is a real bonus). The best reserve usually gets at least 5 rides (including one of the weaker reserves rides) so i fail to see why some are getting a boner about getting the best B grade rider. Get the right A grade first and foremost, the 2nd rider`s scoring ability is a bonus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have 2 rides potentially with your reserves unless that changes, I'd rather have a, strong b, and a solid a draft rider, than a rubbishe b rider, and a great a rider, chances are, I'm going to get more points than you. Pretty simple really, don't get me wrong, 1 brilliant reserve, would be awesome, but to get 2, will really make the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to get the ride top reserve. He has 5 rides, maybe 6 if he replaces a top 5 rider. The number 7 only has to take 3 rides. I'd prefer to get the the top reserve right. Auty is the top guy, then is between Worrall, Garrity, Newman, Kerr and Blackbird. Whats left tehn while decent isn't as good and Coventry getting 5th pick and Kerr and Newman not being in it will basically mean Coventry get the pick of the worse 3. Boxall, Roynon and Birk I'm guessing. Well thanks but I'd prefer to have Garrity. Then we get 3rd pick in the second round, so Poole get to pick some, Lyn will pick Rose. Unless Matt decides to pee off Coventyr theres a good chance Sarj will be available, if not I'd happily take Nielsen, Jacobs or Greenwood.

Season after season its one good reserve that gets you too the Play Offs and wins you the final. Nothing will different in 2015. 2 good reserves is a bonus i agree, but you really only need 1 big scoring reserve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
