MattK Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 You need to embrace the NL, Matt! At least ten good up and coming two pointers. My point is, who says they'll be 2-pointers? Last year the lowest assessed average for NL riders new to the PL was 3.00. Is the assumption that any NL rider without a PL average will start on an average of 2.00?

hyabb17 Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 The rule i saw was any rider who averaged below 3 in the premier league last year will start on a 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverblue Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 (edited) Have corrected post. This meeting could test the parking plans. Hope your not going to let our secret parking spot out of the bag! Justin Sedgmen has just tweeted "any clubs in UK feel free to sign me", so unfortunately it looks like he is not riding for Swindon. When you can have Davey Watt or Troy Batchelor on a lower average its going to be tricky for him.

STEVEHOLS54 Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 Justin Sedgmen has just tweeted "any clubs in UK feel free to sign me", so unfortunately it looks like he is not riding for Swindon. I think Justin Sedgmen is one of those Aussies who has gone as far as he can in the sport. Hi is another of those Aussies who is a case of almost but not quite if you get my meaning. I don't want to see anyone lose out on the sport and I hope he at least gets a chance in the Championship which I think is his level. Was good for Edinburgh but falls short at top level (PL/EL) imo. I think he will struggle to get near 7.60 in a PL side. I think much will depend on how many sides we also end up with in PL. I posted my comments on the Poole 2017 site today and would not surprise me if only 7 or 8 sides start although sincerely hope I am wrong.

BurntFaceMan Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 Surely any rider that couldn't even average 3.00 in the PL last year is going to be a massive gamble and likely a shockingly poor addition to a Premiership team? Even in the weakened state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ORLOV Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 (edited) You can add Nielsen to that list too Not seen anything to confirm that but I did post a while ago and earlier that I thought it unlikely he would be in the main team in 2017. If we have a NL team yes but Premier do not think so. Edited November 15, 2016 by A ORLOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you can have Davey Watt or Troy Batchelor on a lower average its going to be tricky for him. There's a reason why Justin has a higher average than those 2 & they pose more of a risk as well. Both don't like wet tracks & are extremely flakey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 If you read Speedway Star it says averages between 2 and 3 stay as they are. Averages below 2 stay at 2.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we have a NL team yes but Premier do not think so. For me "A ORLOV" his average is to high and no way would he cope in the top five.Also if we do have a promising two pointer at reserve we need someone stronger at reserve than Stefan to support him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poolebolton Posted November 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 Do you guys think Morris will ride for you. Because, just for example the most likely heatleaders for Rye House 1. Kennett 3.Scotty N 5. Harris vs 1. Doyle 3. Ellis 5. Morris I would back Rye house to get more points between those three. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC2 Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 If you read Speedway Star it says averages between 2 and 3 stay as they are. Averages below 2 stay at 2.00. Other teams will probably include the likes of Ashley Morris (4.98), Branford (4.6), Bewley (4) & Clegg (4.34) as their second reserve, who are all on a par with Stefan (5.53), so rather than waste the points on him it would be better to have an up and coming two pointer (Smith, Bacon, Shanes, Mountain etc) who would stand a chance of beating those riders occasionally (as they have done in the NL this year) and a better, more experienced first reserve (Roynon 5.12, Mellgren 5.09, Alex Davies 5.41 or Heeps 5.07) who would stand a better chance than Stefan of dominating heat 2 at home. Stefan needs another year in the Second tier. Just my opinion of course! 2 pointers are a gift for Swindon to offset Doyle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 Around Rye House, so would I. Not around Swindon. Questionable Doyle would get 14 or 15 and Ellis and Morris possibly 7 each Kennett, Nicholls and Harris say an average of 9 each, nothing in it in my opinion, but exciting times for Rye House fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 Rye all day long at home Rye at Swindon as well unless Morris can get a Championship club. Ellis will struggle at No.3 whilst Harris and Nicholls are always consistent scorers. Would you expect Doyle to lose a race at either venue as i wouldnt. Doyle @ Rye House 15 from 5, Morris @ Rye 8 from 5, Ellis say 6 from 4 = 29 points Kennett @ Rye House 12 from 5, Nicholls @ Rye say 9 from 5 and Harris say 8 from 4 = 29 points. At Swindon i would expect Kennett to score less and maybe Morris more so at Swindon no chance for the Rye riders. Have to say those 2 top 3 riders from each team look very well matched and proves you can go big with having Doyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
