CaptainAudi Posted December 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Very good signing, maybe won't score big at first, but should hit his average at least by the end of the season! 1. Craig Cook (9.19) 2. Erik Riss (5.00) 3. Kevin Wolbert (6.19) 4. Justin Sedgmen (6.99) 5. Sam Masters (8.23) 6. Max Clegg (3.00) 7. Robert Branford (3.00) Total: 41.60 (0.90 left) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthers89 Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Just imagine if could of signed Ryan Fisher instead of Sedgeman...... would of been bang on 42.50, and unbeatable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lioness Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Ah but are we sure he is a 5 point average and not a 7? (sticks wooden spoon very firmly back in pocket and runs away as fast as she can.... ) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fromafar Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 That's a decent signing on a 5pt av,pulled another one out of the hat again IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseq7 Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Sounds a very exciting signing for the Monarchs. Might be a wee bit tricky going from 800+ metres to Armadales notoriously tight turns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupidstunt Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 That's a decent signing on a 5pt av,pulled another one out of the hat again IMO Just like fox was a great signing. Lot to prove just because he is good at long track doesn't mean he will be good in PL Might be ok at the big tracks like worky Berwick Sheffield but I would imagine he will take a long time to figure Armadale out if he can at all, big risk IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthers89 Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Might be a risk, but find a better rider with what they had left? They could of signed an Aarnio like rider, but you wont see any progression, and wont become your asset, this way, becomes an asset, and COULD improve on that average, so I don't see it as a risk signing, I'd be excited.

Matt Wethers, guaranteed to hit/improve on his average back at Armadale. The Monarchs could have an awfully long tail this season. Can see one of the 3 pointers getting binned once Riss gets a new average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to agree with you it is a big risk taking him on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Blobby Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) The promotion have a good track record when it comes to bringing in assessed riders than most in the league. To win the World long track championship at just the age of 18 speaks volumes as to the talent the lad has. just because he does longtrack doesn't mean he can't ride armadale look a people like Franc, Kylmakorpi, Pijper, Smolinski all riders that can do pretty well round smaller tracks. If he can scores more away from home than at home thats fine as we have riders at home that can cover for him easily. At the end of the day it could go either way he could turn out to be another Dilger or be a Wolbert! If he turns out to be Dilger changes could be made very quickly if he is a Wolbert we are laughing our way to another league title!

Suppose we will see come march if he is still going straight when everyone else turns left into bend 1! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

me2 Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 There is an element of risk, but Edinburgh get more things right than they get wrong and I'd rather take a chance on this guy than take the safe route with the old familiar names around this average who aren't going to improve any. If it doesn't work out its not the end of the world. If it does work, he could be a major success and he'd be an Edinburgh asset. It's a calculated risk I'd say. You need to take risks sometimes. He's young enough to adapt I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
