ZODIAK Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 People shouldn't get too hung up when it comes to riders' ages. Tungate despite being older, is a lot less experienced when it comes to speedway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney the robin Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) Not even close to being younger then.Baldy I guess you have never been a fan of Rohan? you are not really convinced with him.In speedway terms is he that experienced? for me he needed a change and I believe he will score big at Somerset and do well at Swindon .At his best he is there with Morris,North (ect so a big season for him I think he should of left Ipswich a year or so ago in my exsperience Foxhall Ipswich was always as slick as a board.

Foxhall slick? Tungate would love it if he was, but it wasn't much to his dismay, and at times he was rather vocal about it, too! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxhall when I went there i know it was centuries ago but it was a dust bowl a poor track rough as F... if you look at Tungates results on the bigger tracks mixed results i know but at times he showed real quality.

There is no way Sid, even at his best, that Tungate could be classed in that bracket. Morris was no 1 last season, he struggled admittedly, but Tungate nowhere even close!

He was in this years Aussie championships blue boy? and that is with Tungate getting an ex(tapes) at Mildura and getting out of shape in a couple of races.Are you telling me Tungate was not there with Nick,Sedgy,Masters over a series?

Sidney the robin Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 The Aussie championship is usually unreliable as a form guide for the upcoming season in the elite leagueIt is not a reliable guide,but Tungate has shown at times he is up there with those blokes at his best, can he add the consistency we shall see.After Doyle Holder for me the Aussie's are all a muchness people have also forgotten Sedgemen he really has improved the last few seasons and he could have a big season to.

When he first came to ipswich I thought he was going to be pretty good, and he was, and still is. His move to somerset and swindon will definitely help his career move on. He is very fast in front no doubt about it, but like a lot of riders not so great at the overtaking, but on those tracks, that part of him should also improve. Where he has struggled with ipswich is his dislike for grippy tracks with sharper bends because his style. This won't be a problem at those tracks. I think he will improve his average for both teams. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hagonshocker Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Tungy used to be a great prospect when he first came onto the radar down under along with Heeps ..quite possibly as highly regarded as Ward and Holder at an equivalent age but for one reason or another hasn't quite made the leap expected, think being thrown in by Ford and then customarily discarded after a season did not help! Something about his robust style (not unlike little Sedg) during the Aussie title gives me belief he could kick on with another go at the ever so average EL just like i believe Sedghammer will also...having 4 Aussies of similar ability and progression is slightly worrying but would imagine there competitive 'friendly' rivalry will bring each along further especially Morra who despite being the youngest is the senior when it comes to standing in the sport , time will tell but the side looks exciting talent wise and not a boring hasbeen type like Leicester! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

van wolfswinkel Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Very good signing for The Roobins...will do well at Blunsdon, as his starts are his strength. Will be fully commited like the other Aussie lads in the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junior fan Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Hoping that Swindon go with Branford as there number spare reserve ,think he deserves it after his efforts for them last season. Junior 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junior As a number 8? If that's what you mean i question if he is A.eligible or B.good enough to replace a rider in our 1-5? Hope you are well Shocker you can buy me half a shandy at the first meeting i like you are really excited with this Swindon side hope Nick kicks on. Might even make it a full pint mate! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Spare reserve is a number 9 who will be a draft rider not yet picked to cover for the clubs draft riders should they be elsewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy robin Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Surely Robert will be nailed on being an Aussie but Rosco might struggle to get an Aussie at No 8 to fly over each time we need one😀😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
