TheScotsman Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Very rough luck for the lad especially when it wasn't of his making. Best wishes for a good recovery. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthers89 Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Starke signs for Poole instead of Newman, does this mean we have priority over him now or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukas Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 If not I'd bin him off and sign 2 from Berge,Roynan,Carr, and Tungate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is, you then have to make team changes to a 40.00 average...... so your losing 3 odd points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hans fan Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 (edited) Liam Carr is the stand out temp replacement for me Hall Boxall and Bowen I wouldn't even bother with, Shanes would miss too many matches. Next best Wajtknecht. Roynon's average I think would be too high. don't think there's any need to panic just yet , use shanes or carr as guests for now when available and see what happens regarding prem averages and conversions Edited June 12, 2017 by hans fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukas Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 bin him starke has been our most consistent rider this season , been top notch Maybe a bit harsh but before yesterday had only won 2 out of his last 19 heats for us. I still think a further radical change may be needed for us to have any chance of making the play offs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Maybe a bit harsh but before yesterday had only won 2 out of his last 19 heats for us. I still think a further radical change may be needed for us to have any chance of making the play offs. Starke is only 2nd to Holder in race wins with 16 and he's only had 4 last places all season. He certainly isn't it any of the rider's that need replacing. Shouldn't worry anyway as Starke will have to prioritise the Panthers in any fixture clash except rescheduled fixtures.

NeilWatson Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 I agree, hard to believe Somerset binned him for Kerr. Numbers game - as Lawson and Heeps for Tungate and Graverson didn't fit by 0.04? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Your first two assertions above are incorrect, and 'Mad Max' is quite correct. In Issue 8 of the GSAs Danny King, Rory Schlein and Connor Mountain achieved new averages. Nathan Greaves was declared in Issue 9. Once again you appear to be confusing the team declaration rules, which Ipswich used quite legitimately, and the wider subject of how rider averages are determined. whoops my mistake it was indeed a mix (I am wrong sometimes and happy to admit when I am) I will blame trying to read downloads in small print on my phone 😉 My opinion doesnt change - I would say that all 7 should be revised upon redeclaration in this case - All on original or all on revised. That gives a true reflection of the team total. Of course in this case as I mentioned that would include Danyon and therefore change was under like for like - 2.26/4.57.

Flappy Posted June 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Wonder whether we will replace Lambert or run with guests Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukas Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 I think Lambert will be out for most of the season so it would be crazy to run with guests for so long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New era Panthers Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 I think Lambert will be out for most of the season so it would be crazy to run with guests for so long. Then surely the answer would be to bring in Liam Carr on 28 day temporary cover and if needed renew it 28 days later and so on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluPanther Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 I think Lambert will be out for most of the season so it would be crazy to run with guests for so long. Could be anything from 8 weeks to six months depending on the severity. I'm sure Simon will already be aware of his injury status after the x-rays and consultation...

Flappy Posted June 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Apparently it depends on the kind of surgery he has. Other than Carr and Hall I can't think of any other available 3 pointers especially now the conversion rate has changed for foreign riders.
