junior fan Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 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. To be fair to Rob he didn't really struggle last season , he had his best season so far but was a victim of circumstances , I'm sure he would be back at Edinburgh but they had a choice to make. He took it on the chin and i think whoever takes a punt on him will be on a winner , hopefully it's Rye as I know he wants it to be there.

Shadders Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) If you saw Peter Kargers scores in Denmark it was obvious he wasn't top notch. Would've been better to get him over for a few days for a try out to see how he looked. Maybe time constraints due to Klindt quitting forced the promotions hand, but whoever sanctioned that signing needs to have a word with themselves. Puts extra undue pressure on Ben Morley and will undoubtedly lose us meetings we should be winning. I can't see any improvement in Peter unfortunately.

waco Posted May 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Shads do you think Brian Karger may have had some thing to do with the decision being an ex world class rider himself ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben91 Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Shads do you think Brian Karger may have had some thing to do with the decision being an ex world class rider himself ? If the lad was signed because of what his dad did then it's a sorry state of affairs. Not enough research was done by the looks of it, his Danish scores are poor and there are riders heavily out scoring him there who struggle in the PL. that should have been enough to realise he isn't up to it. There is nobody or no rule to blame execpt the promotion for signing a duff rider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaboy279 Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 When Karger toured last year my impression of him would be around the 3rd NL Level Heat leader, that sort of standard. Very Suprised when he got a PL birth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) Shads do you think Brian Karger may have had some thing to do with the decision being an ex world class rider himself ?Put it this way. If his name wasn't Karger we would never have heard of him. From all reports he's a really nice bloke, but unfortunately not up to the standard required. As a fan who pays through the gate I expect the best side the promotion can afford to put out there within budget. Sentiment doesn't come into it.

I think Rob would do a great job for Rye at reserve, surely the new promotion need to do something like Peterborough have done. Show the paying public some respect and give us a product worth paying to watch Don't go down the Len Silver route and stay loyal for the sake of it. Junior The promotion should act like Peterborough have done. Show the paying public some respect and give us a product worth watching. Rob Branford would be a much better option at reserve, he never knows when he's beat and is a great team player. The promotion should act like Peterborough have done.
