Hel'n'Back Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Must admit, I'm gutted Dimitri won't be riding for us next year but good luck to him at Berwick! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycho3a Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Probably a choice of world u21, 4th place finisher or someone who struggled.. we got the latter then.. Â Need a couple of good signings now to compensate as it's getting worrying as lots of announcements and not a lot coming out of owlerton 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The track at Shielfield will definitely suit him, he should be prolific around there.  Hope you are keeping well mate ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you'll settle for whoever's left after all the other teams have had their pick? Doesn't sound like a promising strategy to me. I hope and trust our promoters are getting their bids in before the cream of the crop gets snapped up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVEK Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 There is no way Sheffield will be picking up what's left to make a team. Wouldn't be at all surprised if the team is already sorted.... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJC Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Could Nick Morris and Todd Kurtz be in contention apologies if already mentioned...just thinking of the drillerman links? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romans lovechild Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 so the talks that are with a number 1 are at an advanced stage, so who is this mystery man? from the names mentioned already, garrity (apparently been shown the exit door) stead (talk of retirement) bellego (signed for swindon,thursday track) jorgensen (signed for worky)  so who does this possibly leave? sam masters josh grajzonek brady kurtz ben barker scott nicholls chris harris  personally i wouldnt take barker or harris, but any of the other 4 would do nicely thankyou. assuming josh and kyle are likely to sign along with lasse and jpb, scott nicholls would be superb in this league, if we got this 5 it would leave us with 9.93 for the last 2 which could be any of these 3 permutations- max clegg/ stefan nielsen arthur/ jake allen jack smith/ricky wells i would like the last one, i know a lot dont like wells but he would score very well on the away tracks.

spin king Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Sorry mate, you're wrong. The early bird catches the worm; If you snooze, you lose; need I say more? Still plenty riders out there. Â 4 clubs out of 10 have not signed a rider yet where as we have signed 2. Â And over the last 3 or 4 seasons Rye House have been the first club in the league to announce their 1 to 7, and the early bird really did catch the worm then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigerite Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 (edited) Sorry mate, you're wrong. The early bird catches the worm; If you snooze, you lose; need I say more? Going by that philosophy the teams that have signed/announced no riders yet, might as well not bother in 2017.
