lewy Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Not so good at putting a team together when he cant bring in a aussie on a incorrect ave that said i like lanham good attitude and goes about his business proffesionally be interested to see how he manages with the ota track and how soon he gets dialed in, max dilger hmmm might work out but i have my doubts! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiteliner Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Why does Dilger keep getting fixed up, there are plenty of British youngsters worthy of a place. Probably because he is better than most of them probably because he is cheaper than most of them probably doesnt have as many demands as most of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greyhoundp Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Jeez Max Dilger, Rebels would have been far far better giving young Nathan Greaves a Team Spot, it would have been a year of settling in to PL but Rebels would have benefitted in 2016, Dilger well how many chances has he had ?. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Nick Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 I had and I still think its a joke, gone from table toppers to also rans in one fell swoop. I think you and a few others will be surprised at how they perform once the season starts. Has May lost the plot. In short, no. Who would you have signed at this short notice? The Lanham/Holder switch makes sense with the average situation but why kick out Greenwood too? Olly asked to be released due to work commitments. Disasterous. Wait and see. I think Leigh will improve at Somerset in much the same way Olly Allen did. Dilger, having come back too early from a wrist injury last year, is currently in a fitness camp in preparation for the new season and I think he'll go well at the Oak Tree. To those of you quick to criticize Gary I would say this. Garry (and he is not alone in this) is not in a position to defend himself publicly (for reasons that I cannot go into), but did build his team in accordance to the information provided to him. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buttons Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) According to Dilger's twitter feed, he's had a knee op and is in the process of having a knee brace fitted, that bodes well Edited December 30, 2014 by Buttons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew2 Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Actually I am not too concerned by this forced alteration after the average mix up by the BSPA and still think this Rebels team will be up there competing come September. Yes i was looking forward to seeing Jack Holder but remember we had to wait an extra year to see Brady in action and what happened during that season??? ....... oh yes we won the League amongst a fair few other things!Think Holder is probably pencilled into the 2016 Rebels team already. I think Lanham will bring a lot to the team as with an injury free season he will make a mockery of that average of 4.90. I can see a couple of points being added to that figure plus he also brings some experience off track, much like Olly Allen did in 2014. With Lanham you have more idea what you will get but with Holder it was a risk as they had no idea exactly how he would take to British speedway, admittedly he could have very good but he could also could have struggled to live up to his bigger brother's name. As was stated on Rebels site Olly Greenwood stood down himself due to his work commitments so with hardly any points to play with what was Garry supposed to do? Max hasn't really set the PL on fire but is a capable rider and does again have the experience of the PL tracks and he will take the pressure off of Starkey a bit, who is the highest average reserve. Personally i saw the Greenwood/Starke reserve pairing as being a bit weaker than the reserve duo's we have enjoyed in the past few seasons. Anyway the OTA has a good record with 'ze Germans' as Kattman, Kroger and the Hef have all been well liked by the Somerset fans in their time there so i am sure Max will be fine. As they do every year i am sure the Somerset fans will get behind the seven riders who come to the tapes in March in Cases Rebels colours. Those 7 riders will certainly develop the 'Somerset spirit' which has carrying us through the past few seasons and all will be good again. Remember last year when Pontus signed, after the Brady confusion, not many people rated that as a good signing but he was probably very close to being rider of the year and not one Rebels fan would have moaned to see him back in 2015. For all the whingers out there the Rebels team is now 'legal' so what excuses have you got when they beat you now???? I think you and a few others will be surprised at how they perform once the season starts. In short, no. Who would you have signed at this short notice? Olly asked to be released due to work commitments. Wait and see. I think Leigh will improve at Somerset in much the same way Olly Allen did.
