scaramanga Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 gotta feel for holder been strung along and let go all because the somerset promotion thought they could bring yet another 7 pt rider in on a lower average shouldnt have been allowed to do it last year either but thats another story 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewy Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Not the managements fault the 42.50 limits fault for a weaker team !!!!!! Now you know how the rest of the teams feel when they have to build a team to a limit you cant keep bringing riders in on false averages finally you have to fall in line with the rest of the league;-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnglishRoundabout Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Rebels look very ordinary now, expect changes during the season. Ordinary? Josh, Worrall and Kurtz as the heatleaders, supported by Wright and Lanham in the engine room. Don't see that as ordinary. It will take a good side to beat them at the OTA and I wouldn't be surprised to see the Rebels win away from home at some of the bigger tracks. All 3 heatleaders have plenty of potential to improve. Top 4 for me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardinalSin Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Sorry but looks very ordinary to me too and definitely not top 4 as it stands. Long season though and as others have said, pretty much guaranteed that this won't be the septet next October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnglishRoundabout Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 What teams do keep the same line up come season end? Happy that the Rebels have a decent and competent team. We shall see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top 4 for me. It's a team with potential but you have to concede there are huge question marks. Worrall and Josh are both good young riders but if you're going to push on one of them needs to be that out and out number 1. Put a point on the average. Kurtz is a no brainier he will push on, quality lad. Charles Wright, steady second string. Lanham, on a downward spiral for a long time now. He won't consistently do it for you on the road. Reserves Starke I really like him, could push on into the top 5. Good rider. Digger will do well to hold a 3 point average. You have a promotion who made changes and won you the league in 2013 and I think they mAy have to do the same again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirate Nick Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 A young Brit, every single time. I am of the opinion that the PL should have compulsory Brits at reserve, however that isnt the case so teams will build to what is in their opinion the strongest side. I do know that at least 1 Brit was approached but his demands were excessive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffeboy Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 dream on ... Big home advantage tbat ota offers up is the only saving grace Ha ha new year same old stuff, most riders all say that the OTA is a great strip for racing, very few riders ever complain about it being a "homer". The majority of riders who have ridden regularly for opposing teams go well, last season was a bit of an exception where the whole Rebels team were on the top of their game from day one. Brady Kurtz recorded one of the fastest times of the season in his first ride ever last March btw. While we are on the subject the Pairs has never been a better and more open event since it has been held at Somerset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Somerset is a fantastic racetrack but its unique shape will always offer a decent amount of home advantage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scaramanga Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 The demands will be excessive when they know they can virtually hold promotions to ransom bassed on what facts the rider wasnt signed so he either didnt want to ride or he wanted too much another rider was found so he had nothing worth holding to ransom as you put it there is riders out there looking for team places they may all not be good enough or on the wrong average but there are plenty of options so no team will be held to ransom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triple.H.
