Islander15 Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 For Stoke, Chessell apparently guests for Phillips but he has a new 10.00 average from tomorrow so I don't see how he can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaboy279 Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Don't they come into effect 7 days after release? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Don't they come into effect 7 days after release? Â 7 days after the last meeting, which was 25/4. So effective from tomorrow, I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayleigh Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Good win for the Raiders today but despite the top end supremacy it was good to see Leek and Locke having wins and improving and Banks looked better in his first couple of races. If they continue to improve and the return of Hunter now soon, the team will be really stong by the end of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackneyrocket Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Well done to the Raiders. Rob Branford is a joy to watch, great team rider and unbeaten. Macauley Leek, great effort and useful points. Ben and Luke rode well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waco Posted May 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Bit of a scrappy meeting,,problems at the tapes for riders,,loads of fallers,Connor Lock after a trap to line win spent most of the rest of the evening sitting on the shale,some corners he has difficulty turning in..Harvey Banks is just slow.,,,,However Macauly Leek can gate quite well battles ,is quicker than Lock or Banks,and is the one that should be persevered with in my opinion,,Ben Morley an immaculate 15 point max,,Rob Branford to with his exciting style did the business with a paid max 13 plus 2""Solid back up from skipper Luke Priest,,,the points scored by Leek my man of the match contributed to this moral boosting victory over Stoke,,with the tapes malfunctioning the last two races were started on the green light..wrapped up by Morley and Branford ,before the heavens finally opened,,Success all round who would have thought it at the start of the day,,..? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junior fan Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Well done to the Raiders. Rob Branford is a joy to watch, great team rider and unbeaten. Macauley Leek, great effort and useful points. Ben and Luke rode well. Even more amazing considering he had a bike land on his back in his second heat ,and was seeing stars for the rest of the night,last word is hes very sore in the upper back, shoulder blade area, and hoping theres no permanent damage.

GWC Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Rob has a lot of potential - Rye need to invest in his talent and bring him up to Standard such as Wright Stark Sargeant and Kerr all Natinal league boys who struggled at first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waco Posted May 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 I think many would like to see Rob in the Rockets..unfortunately you can not release a rider on an assessed average under the rules.so for the time being that is the way it is..Who makes these stupid rules most of which seem to be killing off the sport ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually a really sensible rule, teams should be thinking about whether signing these assessed riders is a good idea because they can't sack them if they're duff. Unfortunately our promotion haven't done that and we've signed a rubbish import and now can't get shot of him unless he quits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waco Posted May 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 (edited) How can it be a sensible rule not to be able to release a rider who is not doing the job he is employed to do..It would not happen in any other business..Theoretically it could reduce attendances to a point where that business becomes unsustainable...Now I'm not saying that would happen at Rye and the management obviously hope given time there will be an improvement..

As Ben says, it's one of the more sensible rules, made even better by the introduction this year of the 5 point minimum (which I think should really be 7 for 7 point riders). Unfortunately for us, Nicolai Klindt bailing out late in the day forced the management into a panic buy which isn't working out. There again, and I don't expect many to agree with me, I'd rather see Peter trying his best to make the grade rather than watching Klindt fannying about in his own inimitable style. It could be worse, Redcar have wasted 7 points on Jacob Bukhave who's scoring less than Peter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan's summed it up above, basically it should deter teams from signing assessed riders who they don't think will make the grade in the first place. If they sign a guy who isn't good enough they only have themselves to blame when they can't sack him because the rules don't allow it.

waco Posted May 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 How do they know they are going to make the grade until they sign them ..They dont ,they hope they will, and if it does not work out.they are lumbered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waco Posted May 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 I can see the point about incentive to sign a British rider but that's the only good thing I see about the assessed average rule for foreign riders.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
