Aces51 Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Could be but didn't the rules say that any tier one not picked could then be picked as part of the tier 2 picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy robin Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Could be but didn't the rules say that any tier one not picked could then be picked as part of the tier 2 picks. Would be a joke if they are so you're probably right😀😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil The Ace Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Boxall is in tier 2 and is top of the list if it goes on PL averages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 (edited) Boxall is in tier 2 and is top of the list if it goes on PL averages. How's he in tier 2 when he's been around for years and was in tier 1 this season just gone? Edited November 14, 2015 by mdmc82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikec Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Boxall's got talent, seen him have some decent races in the past. But surely a huge gamble, in terms of having machinery for a full season, been injury issues too, retiring mid-season etc. Would love to be proved wrong, not got a great feeling about this option though.

Aces51 Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 (edited) Which is probably why he wasn't picked by anyone so far. I'm sure we would have had Stefan but Swindon chose before us. However, Boxall clearly has ability and could do a good job but I agree has a worrying history. Edited November 14, 2015 by Aces51 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Boxall appears a rusk even in tier 2. Doubt anyone would take the risk. Talented but hardly reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without seeing the list it is difficult to know if the risk is worth taking. It must depend on what the alternatives are but having been stitched up by the ridiculous decision to use PL averages we may not have any other realistic option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance of seeing out a whole season with the Aces. Amongst other excuses, Manchester is too far from his London home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 If you want Boxall? 1 Craig Cook 7.292 Przemyslaw Pawlicki 6.753 Scott Nicholls 6.484 Max Fricke 6.165 Brady Kurtz 5.246 Steve Worrall 4.857 Steve Boxall 3.69 Total: 40.46 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 Boxall appears a rusk even in tier 2. Doubt anyone would take the risk. Talented but hardly reliable. owing to the fact BV would have either had last or last bit one pick they had nothing to lose picking Boxall. If he's crap they just pick someone else. As it is, Boxall is a better rider than Nielsen so it strengthens BV. Boxall is capable of beating any of the tier 1 riders if he takes it serious.

TheOpinion Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Kasprzak Fricke Nicholls R. Worrall Cook S. Worrall Boxall The only really uncertain ones are 1 and 7, though I can definitely see the other reserve being Boxall. KK is worth the risk at 1 if we can get him.

Phil The Ace Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 If aces sign KK we won't have room for boxall so would need someone like Simon lambert Adam Roynon Ash Morris Carl Wilkinson Or for me I'd take a risk on that zak fella from Birmingham. Got a very bright future him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waiheke1 Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 I'd actually be happy enough with kk, so long as aces management are prepared to act decisively of the 2015 version shows up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LagutaRacingFan Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Why don't BV sign Dakota North? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waiheke1 Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Because they need a number one, they already have cook and nicholls to fill the other positions. Both of whom are better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Why don't BV sign Dakota North? Is he going spare? I didn't realise. Perhaps a good prospect for Coventry then as he rode really well the last time he was there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve0 Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Is he going spare? I didn't realise. Perhaps a good prospect for Coventry then as he rode really well the last time he was there. He gave 110% for Swindon and finished with a respectable average last season. I wish he had stayed at Swindonbut looks like being a journeyman now.

waiheke1 Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 North would be a good signing on his current average, the issue is that he is one of the weaker riders in the HL category, so teams may be reluctant to "waste" a HL spot on him. He would probably make a good signing for whichever team signs Zengota, given that Zengota has an inflated average and North is on a deflated one, between the two of them their average would be about right.
