Edinburgh 2016


Recommended Posts

Oddly enough I could see Morris going to Edinburgh

 

Nice try on the wind up there! Don't want or need him and he was pretty poor at the dale this season

 

if cookie stays PL he will be at Edinburgh, i agree money talks but it would have to be crazy money to make that happen. Craig has on several occasions stated that the monarchs saved his career and potentially his life, he is a loyal person so cannot see him forcing the issue. Most likely is he goes EL and Poland but you never know. Others in the monarchs team are not edinburgh assets so it's not quite as cut and dried although I am sure all 7 would want to be back at armadale next year especially sam, sedgy and kevin.

 

I have no doubt Glasgow will have a marquee signing for next year although after spending money on spud and lawson I struggle to see them being left out which does limit options for a new no1 a litle bit.

 

Still reckon monarchs will be

Sam

Kevin

Sedgy

Erik

5pt foreigner, haertel would be the fantasy move or erik's brother

Max Clegg

3pt brit

Not really all i am saying is that the options for a big signing would be limited if they brought back summers and lawson, still think it will be a surprise and someone good but not an existing PL rider above 8.97 ;-)

Maybe you know something then?

not a clue, pure guess work.

 

The challenge for both clubs (back to edinburgh for this thread though) is to get a 3 pointer to come north that can hold his own. Max and Rob were great signings last year, neither were amazing but held their own at home and came up with some big rides every now and then and allowed the big boys to do the business and bring home the gold. How often have we signed a 3 point rider who struggle to get close to a 3 point average, it does the rider or club no good at all and is the danger with the new rule. I understand the principle of helping youth speedway but there also has to be a level of earning your spot.

 

Would like monarchs to get Liam as I think on the right track he can push on more than he managed at Berwick although you would think the bandits would have him wrapped up.

Nurture two young boys in 2015 and both finish with averages below 4.00 which you would have thought would have given Monarchs the chance to benefit in 2016 with Max and Rob having had a years experience in PL under their belts. Cue the new 3.00 reserve rule and looks like we won't have both in the team. Couldn't make it up.

May be one of them should of stayed on 3 points for the season in hindsight& then you might of not won the league

Take on board your point but if all the 3.00 riders finish 2016 with an average under 4.00 they could be struggling for a team in season 2017 if the 3 pointer rule is maintained.

Quite worrying if that is true Mr B. Who do you reckon won't be there?

Kevin the average manipulator his average is too high now the chuckle bros will send him out on loan to lower it for 2017 it will be a bi - annual thing.

I don't think rob or sedgy will be back. both Sam and cookie might leave the PL behind and do EL and abroad more chance of Craig doing it than Sam at the moment IMO.

 

It's a shame if that's the option these guys are taking, do you think it's more money or the bigger stage abroad? The travelling etc must mean it's worth it.

Don't know but I hope they stay. Only problem is out of the 4 mentioned only cookie is our asset. So if the clubs that own the others either want to use them or sell them to another club we don't really have much say in the matter.
