secsy1 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Well don't know what everyone thinks but one rider is quite a surprise. What do everyone else think about Richie Worrall, Ben Barker, Kyle Howarth, Lewis Rose and Nathan Greaves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 I assume you mean Nathan Greaves, particularly as he and Rosco had a bit of a fall out last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secsy1 Posted February 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 The one thing I do like is clarity and as I forgot to underline the name of Ben Barker, unfortunately your assumption Grachan is incorrect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Still another 2 to pick. Cook and Kerr possibly ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foamfence Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Personally I think Greaves has a very long way to go before he should be considered. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Leslie Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 It's not really Rosco picking a young Brits side though is it? It's whoever will ride for the money in a PL challenge match against Peterborough with Rosco's name being put to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Countershaftcounter Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Greaves ,!!! Are the opposition all planning to fall off so that he can score a point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Must be a lot of busy Brits on this date if Greaves has been selected lol. One of the weakest fast draft riders last year and spends more time falling off than on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Its just a premier league level british select. Not worth reading much into. I suspect J.Bates or J.Sarjeant & J.Auty or C.Wright to take the final places and produce to even enough teams to make it an even enough match.

A ORLOV Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 What they need to do is arrange a challenge match between a GB team and a KL Select at KL prior to the World Cup 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcon Hammer Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Greaves improved tremendously toward the end of '14. Although not yet at the level as the other riders, am sure he will surprise a few this season 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewy Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Kyle newman should be involved imo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brewer Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) i must admit i find the line up so far strange, with no offence to the lads mentioned, but from the initial pr about the meeting i was expecting a more spectator enticing line up with the result irrelevant but an event to try and tempt fans to the eos, even with being told they had consulted with kings lynn over start time to allow people to do both this and schleins event. with cov v leics on you can leave out bomber, garrity, auty, and also blackbird, roynon, allen (obviously pboro) but imo tai, cook,king, kennett, lawson, stead should be top there with r worrall/howarth/barker (booked) kerr, wright, newman, s worrall, birks and bates. now as said some may have turned it down which we may no know of but at the moment that would be the squad to pick from, even ask scott.

jenga Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 i think if you added up thr G.B. averages for team building purposes and included all the G.B. team that people want , it would make it a massive defeat for the panthers. so i think levelling the playing field is correct this is a PL meeting after all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be a few of these type meetings to give some of the youngsters the opportunity to show what they can do and hopefully progress to the main GB team over the next few years. It would also be a good idea, if time is available, to have them race against youngsters from other countries. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 It's a fixture filler at Peterborough ffs. This is exactly the meeting to be giving youngsters and slightly different/odd choises a meeting. Why put out out best 7 to beat Peterborough 60-30? Who gains from that? As for the digs at Nathan Greaves, he's a talented young kid. One of our best 17 year olds, leave the kid alone - hardly his fault he's been picked.

weatherwatcher Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 This is the sort off stuff that the young Brit riders need. They need meetings where they can come together as a team be it against a PL side or better still against lads of the same age from Poland Sweden Denmark etc. It will be the only way to bring them on, but I doubt very much if they have even given it aq second though. Unless they can come together as a team and race against young riders from different nations I am afraid that we will still be at the stage we where umpteen years ago when we started to neglect our young riders. If the governing bodies of the sport over here have any sense they will see a series of matches set up for them this season and seasons to come. We hope, or do they just want British speedway to fall into the doldrums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
