Rye House 2016


Recommended Posts

I'd take NBJ over Thomsen. NBJ was averaging over his assessed figure pretty much all season, only dropped below it towards the end, he's definitely got a point improvement in him next year at least.

 

I'd have sacrificed Lambert or Kennett to keep NBJ because the point of team building is to sign riders who will improve.

 

So now we're looking at Eddie, Rob, Maassen and Dan Greenwood plus three others I reckon, that reserve pairing would struggle all year.

Could Tyson Nelson be coming back . Club asset , I enjoyed his unpredictability.He is still doing ok in Australia and im sure if he did come back he would do well. Also if the new owners have any ambition they must go and try and get Ben Barker as he is on a false average and I would also go for Cameron Heeps whose not in the Ipswich team.3 point reserve Daniel Spiller if eligible , no one seems to be mentioning him , but please no Ben Morley.

On an average not much lower than NBJ I'd be disappointed if Nelson came back. Barker would be a very good signing as would Nick Morris but there will be plenty of people after them I'd imagine. Morley will probably be one of the better riders available on a three point average, plenty of experience in the PL and at Rye. I wouldn't be disappointed with him or Olly Greenwood but wouldn't mind seeing a Spiller/Wajknecht.

 

If we're going with a Kennett/Lambert top two then we will have to have a long tail, Branford is a must for me as our senior reserve.

Well if you'd don't want Morley can we have him back at Redcar?

Oops. Back to Morley . Last time you had him at Redcar you couldn't wait to get shot of him . Admittedly things are different now as in lots of rides against equal opposition but having seen him for a fair few years now he has reached his level. I can never see him kicking on above a 3 to 4 point average , will always be a number 7 at best.

Redcar had some balls and kept Ben over Konopka last season at first. Then he became victim of the averages really.

 

If he can average four in 2016, which isn't beyond him looking at the standard of other number sevens then he'd not be a terrible signing.

konopka had a season and a half as a bear and pulled out 1/2 decent meetings, he'd turn up late to some away meetings and turn up without a mechanic most times so he was struggling himself which led to him being dropped, Ben was a consistent scorer, and was new to premier league at the time so we kept him instead to give him some experience

Hmmm. The new promotion better come up with some very good reasons why they don't want to use NBJ. Some communication on the reasons why should be forthcoming asap as its a strange decision. Why go through the process of giving him a year to bed in and then let Peterborough have his average increase?

 

They need to start announcing signings as this decision has pissed a lot of fans off.
