I think Barney must be basing that on Tungates OTA performances. Apart from those two occasions he was mostly average. If he was my teams number one I'd be seriously concerned.

 

You're right Shads, I have only seen him live at the OTA, where he scored 16 on his last visit, but he also knocked in 14 at Berwick, 11 at Newcastle and Peterboro', 9 at Scunny and Edinburgh on his travels last season. So whilst he isn't the big hitting no.1 I'd like (that was Brady), I think he could do a reasonable job and allow us to build a very strong, solid 2 to 6 instead. You can't have everything.

Much as I admire Josh, I'm not sure he's good value on 8.50. From what I saw of Tungate last season, I think he could hold his own at no.1, which would allow us strength in depth, as in:

 

Tungate 7.74

Howarth 6.98

Holder 7.10

Wright 6.89

Starke 5.85

Aspegren 4.82

3 pointer 3.00

-------

42.38[/quote from a lot of ippo fans they did not what Rohan back as poor this year and only intreasted in elite,same for howarth, we need bigger number one,Josh for me would be OK.

Can't see how anyone can say Tungate is/was only interested in Elite? He didn't ride Elite last season and doesn't have a place this year yet either!

I think Holder maybe in the team as I would have thought he would have already been announced in the Plymouth line up if he was returning as he had a 3 year work permit. I can see him on loan from Poole with Josh returning on a full transfer as part of the Brady deal.

 

I think the team could well be as RebelRebel posted a few pages back:

 

1. Josh Grajczonek 8.50
2. Paul Starke 6.00
3. Charles Wright 6.89
4. Jack Holder 7.10
5. Rohan Tungate 7.74
6. Ollie Greenwood 3.00
7. Zach Wajtknecht 3.00

 

However I would personally prefer a more experienced reserve to take the pressure off the 3 pointer I do not think it is in the riders long term interests to put so much pressure on two 3 point riders together.

 

Not sure if these riders have retired or not riding next year but I would swap one of the 3 point reserves for Richie Hawkins on I think 3.34 and replace Holder to come under the limit with Kauko Nieminen on 6.6 (if correct from Glasgow 2015 thread) as he is a more experienced than the touted Kyle Howarth on 6.98.

 

If they are going with two 3 point reserves and Holder is not in the team then Matei Kus on 7.13 is a classy rider to have but it is probably more cost effective having Kyle Howarth.

would like this team here think Zach and Ollie could be OK, And Zach is making good progress so far even if premier is big step up and Ollie riding for Buxton would help him Edited by coomie

Nieminen was also useless for Glasgow - so we'll stay well clear of him.

 

Really? I would like to see how you came to that conclusion as he only rode 1 meeting last year before being injured! I would suspect he may end up at Leicester as they are lacking riders but he is a steal on a sub 7 PL average.
