Peterborough Panthers 2017


Flappy

Recommended Posts

Perhaps but it says a lot when an asset & friend is farmed out to another club. Phillips is one of those riders that can do it but has yet to live up to his potential and is now being swallowed up but other riders coming through.

In all honesty im surprised he got & kept the Newcastle gig this season & would be very surprised if he wasn't the poorest performing rider of the 13 drafted.

 

There are a lot of 2 pointers available to clubs and picking the right one will be crucial to every teams season.

He's a club asset and a friend of Ged so going by previous logic in this thread should be nailed on.

Nailed on means being crucified . He's had a whole season at Newcastle and been given every chance to improve himself there and in truth there has been no improvement , Really he needs to take a season out of PL and concentrate on NL get his confidence up and prove to fans he's worth being given the chance to step up by being a stand out rider in the NL . At the moment he's just not worth it.I would much rather see a rider at NO 7 who is showing signs that they have a future in the sport rather than a rider that is just stagnating.

I can see K.Hansen L.Bjerre and S.Lambert being the only ones out of that 7 and Flappy also forgot to mention U.Ostergaard who will be in leaving spaces for a new NO1 and 2 reserves should it be 40.50 limit and 1 reserve (NL) on a 2 point average.

 

I think all new riders should come in on a minimum 3pt average, however their actual average should be allowed to drop to minimum of 2pts, and if the club wants to stick with them and use extra point elsewhere good luck!

I think the Peterborough management didn't feel he was quite ready for PL which is why he wasn't in the Panthers team, bearing in mind his scoring this year and what the Newcastle supporters keep saying I think the Peterborough management decision was spot on.

Where has it been confirmed that the number 7 will be on a 2 point average ?

 

Hopefully some bozo misunderstood what they heard but it looks like drop it out there and test the reaction before we confirm the mistake.

As would Paul Starke and Charles Wright.

 

There appears to be lots of riders with inflated averages this season though looking at the greensheets. Lots of 5 and 6 pointers with very few 4 pointers

 

That's what a weakened product does for the sport...

 

Makes the poor riders look average! ;)
