He's got talent said that before its if he decides to use it is the question at hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe thats it, just can't remember him giving it his all when riding at Foxhall... however put him on a bigger track and a Polish quick bike then he will do well. tbf he's a bit like Jarek Hampel, super quick when his head is ok, but can both look a bit "novicey" when not gating.

I think that's the main thing as Dak would've looked to up his average to 7 or above & I can't see Rohan doing that. Hope I'm proved wrong & he will have my support as totally understand the club going with a rider based in Britain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will Sidney, but on the flip side, being at Swindon Somerset will also see the benifit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other 4 riders need to swap around during the season & we're going to struggle in Heats 13 & 15. All opinions but this team will be good to watch but will be massively inconsistent as well. Will be a push to reach the play offs in my view & just don't think there's enough big race winners. Hope I'm wrong though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siggytastic Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Will Tungate be able to do a whole meeting at a big track without the arm pump that cost us last season? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree North is no world beater but he is still a lot better than Tungate. Tungate is inconsistant even at PL level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tungate is inconsistant even at PL level. Tungate is younger and has had a promising season in Oz. North was also very inconsistent at PL level. Maybe not as good as North just yet, but potential to become better I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) Are you sure rohan is younger? Or are you guessing? I'm sure rohan may actually be older Edited February 17, 2016 by baldyman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
