Sings4Speedway Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Not a great signing imo. Drifted in and out of teams to often and didn't really bother with the mdl last season despite being given a place with Milton Keynes knights. sure I remember him no showing for a meeting at belle Vue. Trumping rumsey at Mildenhall as the strangest signing thus far in the national league but only my opinion. Which of Hunts old mates will be next?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waco Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Agree he has always been a bit in and out..,Do not think he will mess Len Silver about ,as this will probably be his last chance to impress at this level which is definately lower than his previous efforts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Deen Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 So how much does that leave us remaining for the 7th rider? 3.18 then they gotta name a number 8 as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel1 Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Number 8 is only ever going to be a three pointer and 3.18 does not fit many reserves. Sam Wood is still only 3 points and would be good in this level of NL this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't lower surely? Previously he's been a reserve in a bottom of the table Sittingbourne Crusaders team and then only an occasional reserve with IoW. The level he's being asked to deliver for the Kings is the highest yet expected of him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are more three pointers around him though and given his experience he should be expected to do well against his completely raw counterparts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think he would have delivered by now if he was going too and the only 3 pointers round him are Verge who isn't completely raw and the tba. My bigger issue is dedication. He retired last season whilst doing the MDL and has to use sponsored kit as he sold his own! Dan Blake mk2 ? (with less potential imo) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiseguy Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Makes the decision to get rid of Luke Harris a little silly now considering he was bombed out to accommodate Garrad who has also now retired Personally I think reserves in the National league should all be under 21,i have nothing against Mullins, I have only seen him ride once I think against Kent for Wimbledon last season, where predictably he suffered 2 engine failures and think he got a point Saying that though Danny Ayres was a late comer and he is fantastic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waco Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Obviously a lot of mixed opinion on the merits of Rikki Mullins and understandable given his record.But surely he must know himself he is in the last chance salloon, and will be eager to make a good impression..I still maintain the standard this season is considerably lower across the board than it has been for many seasons,,and this should help him prove he is better than many suggest ..I hope so ?

(with less potential imo) I meant three pointers around him in the league as a whole, should have made myself clearer in the first post. I agree that he should have delivered by now for sure. Lot of question marks around him IMO and that's not usually a good omen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
builderbob Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 wacko. yes i agree the standard this year is lower, but it all so was last year, this is due to the lower average limit which has put most on very false averages, and they will be again this season.

It wasn't just the once that he didn't turn up for an away meeting, I remember him doing it a couple of times for the Isle of Wight. One occasion springs to mine at Mildenhall where Niall Strudwick took his spot for the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel1 Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Now for the shenanigans. Who will Chris run with as the number 7? Race-off day is the press and practice day. No doubt Adam may have the edge having ridden in NL meetings previously and did have a good meeting at the end of last season down Plymouth way. Who has the most potential though is another question. Who will be prepared to commit for the season come rain and shine? Nothing says Rikki will push on so with Danno, Rikki, Jamie and Adam all there in the basement points club there is everything to race for. Will make for interesting times.

Sings4Speedway Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 If I sponsor a rider with machinery can I get a ride....... Not a particular shock in terms of names but I was Sheppard and ended up at 8 id be hacked off. Neither of the others have done much competitive racing over the past year. Just goes to show dedication doesn't always get you very far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxamillion Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Jamie Couzins would get my vote................nothing against Adam just Jamie has always seemed quicker than Adam when ive seen them race! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waco Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Cousins reguarly beat Shepherd in second half races ,, on what i saw i would much prefer Cousins... Shepherd may have had one or two outings, but that does not make him the better rider,,, also Shepherd failed to appear for several rides probably down to poor equiptment . Let them decide it on track in a best of 3 races prior to the first meeting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
