torpointfanatic22 Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 Pretty much every season Somerset look strong on paper and generally deliver. This side looks pretty weak on paper compared to others and it may turn out to struggle but if I were a Rebels fan I'd be clambering to get to the Oak Tree as this team is going to produce some cracking racing win, lose or draw. With BWD, Zach and Allen they could yet be anything! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buttons Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 Come on guys lets give the lads a chance,the new boys don't want to read about all the negative stuff from the rebels fans. But they are not all Somerset fans are they, just wind up merchants. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliffeboy Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 A very different sort of line up for the Rebels next year,reminds me a bit of the Rebels 2008, the first season without Zorro. A young Doyley was No 1 but on a sub 8 average I think, Emil on 7 point something and then Katty, Werner, Frampton, Walker and eventually Kroger. I think only Doyley and Kramer didn't fill the reserves positions that year. We took the Prem cup that year. Every rider improved his average that season. I think if all goes well we may see a repeat. Josh is a good skipper and he was a top 10 rider last season only slightly behind Brady, who started well but then faded a bit. Tungate needs to get dialled in quicker than than Ritchie did because the onus is going to be on him right from the start. Wrighty and Starky will be the engine room especially at home, and having two of the top NL riders at reserve is a bonus, both lads had a look at the OTA earlier in the season. If Jake Allen can have a first season like Kurtz and Holder,that will also be a plus. Lots of talk on here about BWD not achieving a five average, but if Jake can achieve a seven ,jobs a goodun. I think Gary may tinker with the line up for home / away fixtures. I'd go with Wrighty at five for the early home games with Tungate at three, and the reverse for away games. Starkey at four and Allen in at two with Josh. Really looking forward to next season and hopefully get a few more matches in this time as last season was a disaster lol. A very Merry Christmas to all supporters and riders. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buttons Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 Somerset have some young and entertaining riders in their side, should make for an exciting season fair play to the promotion for giving them a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
