New era Panthers Posted June 12, 2017 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. Even if you could get a 3 point foreign rider would you want to gamble on it after the experiences we had last season with AWOL Holub . There are very few options out there but Carr looks about the best choice . As for Simon if he has to sit out the remainder of the season , he will be hot property on a bargain 3 point average for next year but I hope it doesn't come to that and we see him back in the red and black before too long and i'd like to wish him a speedy recovery.

A bit of a curve ball here but what about the old guard on 28 day deals in Paul Hurry / Jon Armstrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of experience in those two but not sure about there ambitions to race at Championship level maybe they both race for the fun of it these days and wouldn't be up for it probably out of there comfort zone.

LagutaRacingFan Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 (edited) I think Holub would be decent value on 3.00. He's also an international rider. Edited June 12, 2017 by Jeremy Corbyn Fan 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 Holub would be decent value on 3.00. He's also an international rider. More chance of Diane Abbott becoming chancellor of the exchequer , but they've got one thing in common they both have a habit of not turning up when they are needed.

Flappy Posted June 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 I think Holub would be decent value on 3.00. He's also an international rider. He's now on a 4 average anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScotsman Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 I think Holub would be decent value on 3.00. He's also an international rider. Rafa Konopka would be a better choice! 😉😉 And yes I know Rafa would be on a 4 as well! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukas Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Bacon banged in 17 points for Birmingham last night..he looks like he really is turning things around...Carr got 4. I think we need to be ruthless and make 2 changes to get 2 good riders rather than just stick a 3 point ringer in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we need to be ruthless and make 2 changes to get 2 good riders rather than just stick a 3 point ringer in. How can you make 2 changes though..... say you take out Ully and Lambert 9.33 together, you then have to take off 1.76 to get back down to 40.00. Your then left with 7.57 to get 2 riders in, so how the hell does that strengthen anything! Even taking Starke out at his new average of 7.27 + 3.00 for Lambert is 10.27 - 1.76 = 8.51, again, even if you sign a 4.00 rider to replace Lambert, your losing Starke for a 4.51 average rider, making our tail even bigger!! It doesn't make any sense IMO. Like for Like change is THE ONLY WAY forward. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruffdiamond Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Rafa Konopka would be a better choice! And yes I know Rafa would be on a 4 as well! thought of him myself,,, and am sure with there'll be a 'sub-rule' where he could come on a 2.00, as that is far greater than he'd achieve.

New era Panthers Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Richard Hall has been signed Really, I know there's not a lot to choose from so I shouldn't be too surprised or disappointed , but if that's what we've got then we need to encourage him and give him support , Is he on 28 day contract or what.

TheScotsman Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Wow - I'm astounded!! I thought Hall was at least 10 years older than 32!! But he's spent £1000 on his equipment so that's all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panthers89 Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Best of the rest tbh, apart from Carr, who else do you sign on a 3.00 average? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proud panther Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Hall needs to spend a lot more than a grand to score points in my opinion. He has looked slow for the last couple of seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
