Agrotron Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 Morris seems to have had one to many chances and just because he is under Roscos roof does not mean he should automatically ride for Swindon I am surprised he has lasted there as long tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ovalman Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 (edited) Nick has not lived with Rosco all yearThat's the problem, no discipline, was probably hoovering, cleaning, and cooking at the Rosco household.Dont think anyone expected much from the Roobins this year, very disappointing.Don't want to see Bitch back, any from Zagar, Cookie, Holder, Kurtz, Bomber, Hansi, Killer, Masters, Janowski, Lindback, Palm Soft, Zengy. If Tunny could ride as well at Blunsdon as away would be good. It would be a new track so worth a try with him again. Swindon can attract the top riders with new stadium and more money coming through the turnstiles, should be averaging over 2000. Should be looking at the IOW, an island of 140000, and how well they promote the sport. Swindon don't have another club within 70 miles, a few million people along the M4 corridor and the counties of Wilts Oxon Glos Berks and Hants Somerset Bristol and further. Get out there and promote the sport. A decent stadium needs a decent team and decent support.

Gresham78 Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 To support Doyley I'd like to see Bomber, Killer Zengi and Charlie Wright. Bomber and PK are great to watch, Zengi is always enthusiastic and seems to really enjoy riding for the Robins and Charlie is gritty and ballsy. I'd like Hansi back too even though he's a bit of a diva at times and can be a bit precious, however he's a good skipper and Rosco seems to get the best out of him. Don't know how that lot could be accommodated though, probably not possible. Much as I like Nick, as Orlov says, I think he needs some time away from Swindon to develop his career....

MattK Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 Morris seems to have had one to many chances and just because he is under Roscos roof does not mean he should automatically ride for Swindon I am surprised he has lasted there as long tbh That is an incredibly harsh assessment. Morris was our best rider last year and held is own as a heatleader all season. This year he took gamble by not doubling-up and trying his hand abroad. Unfortunately for him, this hasn't paid off and he has suffered from a lack of track time. Hopefully over the winter he can gather himself with a good showing in the Australian championships which in turn will allow him to boost his profile with a good run in the GP challenge. I'd happily have Morris back next year with him doubling-up again to get a more consistent calendar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hagonshocker Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 Rosco said expect widespread changes. 1.Doyle=9.78 2.Schlein=5.12 3.Harris=6.62 4.Batch=4.96 5.Andersen=7.15 6.Wright=4 7. Woryna=4.61 42.24 overall. This is hoping that the average is 42.5. A team full of solid riders and Hans has proved he can ride just not for Swindon and with Harris 100 percent rider with Batch and Schlein with the potential with no injuries to be game changes! No no no nothing like the side we will see next year I know of only two riders offered deals next year and only one of them is there! Doyley....as for crocks forget it so that rules out TroyI really hope it's not 6 man teamsIt's not Spot on Lisa & that would be a stipulation for Nick to return. Why these young riders can't use Doyley as a example of waiting for rides abroad when they are ready & not to soon. I'd have Jason & Charles back from this years team & Nick as a 3rd heatleader if he doubles up. Hopefully Killer will want to return but failing that I think Hans might be looking for a new team. I just hope the new track is ready & waiting for us in March. Let's just say Doyley is or will be having his say on next years side and after Friday it's more a case of who he doesn't want....... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LisaColette Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 I think Swindon would be silly to let Morris go. Send him down to Poole on a nice low average then. As long as he has a PL place I think he'll do well next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidney the robin Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 That is an incredibly harsh assessment.

I'd happily have Morris back next year with him doubling-up again to get a more consistent calendar. A gp challenge he is nowhere near that level at the moment he is behind the likes of Fricke, Masters, Kurtz, J.Holder (ect) he showed with his showings in Poland that he is light years away from that level.I rate Nick but he needs a new challenge also his average is quite high because of his home showings.

A ORLOV Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 By the sounds of it the Dinner and Dance, Rider of the year and other awards this year may be a bit chilly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season Morris was picked for Australia ahead of all those riders. He's had a bad year, he hasn't become a bad rider overnight. A top three finish in the Australian championship will see him in the GP qualifiers for which the GP Challenge should be his target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 By the sounds of it the Dinner and Dance, Rider of the year and other awards this year may be a bit chilly.

Crazy robin Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 All the fans saying Nick needs a new challenge, he will be riding on a new track etc for Swindon so I think he should stay as long as he had a doubling up spot. With Rohan & Josh already having that last year Nick couldn't do that once Poland fell through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poolebolton Posted September 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 (edited) 1.Doyle=9.78 2.Rory Schlein=5.12 3.Rohan Tungate=6.37 4.Scott Nicholls=6.51 5.Peter Kildemand=7.10 6.Charles Wright=3.5 on Converted PL average 7.Kyle Newman=3.75 on converted PL average 42.13= This team has two big hitters, give it all reserves, experience EL riders in Schlein and Scott. Tungate is the wildcard has potential to shine or fall. Compare this to my Poole team 1.Magic=8.97 2.J.Holder=4.02 3.Vaclav Milik=5.67 4.Kurtz=6.40 5.KK=7.91 6.Ellis=3.00 no Pl average 7.Starke=4.27 Pl average 40.24 which team would win?? Youth vs Experience. 42.5 was the maximum Edited September 19, 2016 by poolebolton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandelion Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 (edited) Ellis won't get a 3.00 average will he? He's on like a 6 now? Edited September 19, 2016 by Dandelion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 Ellis won't get a 3.00 average will he? He's on like a 6 now?Last winter they did it on their PL averages not EL ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
