MD Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Very long tail for me, it's all very good having a strong top 4 but you need that 5th rider that will consistently get you 5,6 and 7s and get the occasional double figure score, like Edinburgh had with Riss last season, that being said Luuna and Garcia on better equipment which they will inevitably get might have some improvement in them. Hopefully we can give Garcia decent support behind the scenes with plenty of practice, coaching on how to improve his gating and some help with engines. Im sure there is better to come from him. Lunna im assuming will fly in for meetings which isnt ideal and is maybe Palovaara on a lower average. Both are welcome though. Worrall was a given and should give us good service. Reckon Barker will start at 5 as none of the other top 5 will want to ride with him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazc Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Need top 4 to all be unbeaten to rack up 50. Not beyond them though albeit unlikely that's why I said 45 - 50 but they will be expected to score heavily week on week to compensate for the lower end. Although Lunna is a good signing and should chip in with points I like the look off the side plenty scope for improvement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cj69 Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Will stick in my tuppence worth now the enemy has finished their septet. At first glance looks worse than last season but closer look maybe not by a big margin. Very strong top 4. Lawson/Summers/Worrall should be pretty consistent (Worrall got the easier task of raising his avg), Barker on the other hand has had couple bad season with injury and dont think he will be back to his best (although near to it will please the tigerati).Bottom 3 on the other hand look poor but there is potential. Iv seen glimpses of what Lunna and Garcia can do and im sure they will both have decent set ups for the start of the season all it takes is one to step up to even a 4 avg could make world of difference. Dont know anything about Ayres but a young (ish?) Brit and hope he does well. At home and away it very much relies on top 4 scoring heavily so there will be some hammerings on the road and possibly at home but can see a few wins picked up on the road. Play Off contenders?...I would think so. Now back to watching all the 'banter' between Edin and Glas. Some of it is actually funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yearbyred Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Summers and RTR Worrall in the same team at least it means they won't be trying to knock each other off for a change. Probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Blobby Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Edinburgh fans saying top heavy lol that's how they win the league! Cook Masters Wolbert Sedgman same as Lawson Summers Barker and Worrall. Get a decent rider at 4 similar to Riss and then Lunna and Garcia as good as Branford and Clegg. Touch jealous in the Monarchs camp maybe Yes we were top heavy like Glasgow are this year, but we had Riss doing the business in the top 5 by scoring those important 4,5.6 points a meeting on a consistent even a few double figures in there as well is Lunna capable of doing that IMO no bearing in mind he was at reserve basically all season last year, big step up moving into the top5. Now to say that Garcia and Ayres are better reserves than clegg and Branford is laughable. Lawson and Summers will stay around the same average wise. Barker and Worrall will put about 1/1.5 on theirs. Don't see much from the other 3 maybe Garcia will put a touch on his but not a great deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthegearbutnaeidea Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Good signing in Garcia, imo can get a 4 average easily next season with his Argentinian bikes instead of some old put together ones, glad he's got a team place, should be given the chance, if people seen him last season they will know how hard he tries and the ability that he has Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthers89 Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Top 4 is brilliant, no doubting that but the other 3...... Ummmm, thought would be better with an endless pot of gold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lewy Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Great looking team all the bottom 3 got some improvement in them and 3 of the top 4 imo,Glasgow the team to beat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Ah, another duff foreigners (Garcia) given another chances. Yay! Not sure Luna is a very good signing either - why sign him rather than keep Sarj? I'll admit I've not look to see if he fits but even so, Luna in the 1-5, eeek. Very good top 3, Worrall is not bad, Ayres is ok but Luna and Garcia seem like plugging a very tight gap sort of signings. I take you have seen Garcia on a regular bases, to give your opinion on, or are you just looking a figures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Summers and RTR Worrall in the same team at least it means they won't be trying to knock each other off for a change. Probably. Put them together at 3 and 4 and give Richie a chance to getting out of the way of Summers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Maybe the averages suggest that Lawson, Summers and Barker are the same as Cook Masters and Wolbert but on track when the pressure was on it was a different story IMO.

mythman666 Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Pleased Garcia has gotten fixed up, he's a real trier and never knows when he is beat. I believe that on decent equipment he is capable of a 5 point average. Certainly showed glimpses of ability in his stint with Berwick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 I take you have seen Garcia on a regular bases, to give your opinion on, or are you just looking a figures.Seen him 3 times. Nowt special about him at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
