acef Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) Richie's average isn't sustainable for him. He stagnated last year. Dropped to reserve and stayed there. His brother moved to 2nd string, and I think for a period 3rd heat leader, chalk and cheese for BV. Very similar in the PL, but it's about 7 riders and when only one realistically fits then this was a no brainer. Fricke is in, it's the worst kept secret around. I think if we add KB then BV will be in the play offs, looking around only Poole match up. Look's like Aussies are favored by our Aussie manager two in Brits out Such a throw away comment. Sedgman in particular has a very attractive average. That's given us the scope to go out and get 3 genuine heat leaders, and 2 solid 2nd strings. Something many teams have failed with in this new points structure. In fact many have a 2nd string who should be at reserve in old money.

Midland Red Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 Plus I'm sure sure, even if they could include him, why they would Richie Worrall. That's a staggeringly high average that he won't achieve. And for those of us whose first language is English . . . ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil The Ace Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 Look's like Aussies are favored by our Aussie manager two in Brits out What a stupid comment. An average of 7.60 gives us more scope to play with and he will possible keep his average if not better it. Richie would have And let's look at brits to aussie ratio shall we. Fricke Sedgman Cook Smith Bewley Worrall. 4 to 2. Hhhhhm yeh favouring aussies ain't it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverblue Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 I don't think Sedgeman will be the saviour, i think some are putting too much store on his form in Australia and think he will ride as well here. I expect he will start well but fade. I also think is a mistake not to include Danny King now he is available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 Sedgmen rides Belle Vue particularly well which makes him a good signing on paper. As for King, I'd agree with you if Aces had priority over Ipswich but seeing as it's the other way round it was always a non starter especially as it would also have meant releasing one of Cook, Worrall or Fricke. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at 7.60 average , i think its a great signing . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woz01 Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 Sedgeman will be 5th in BV averages, it's an excellent signing considering they could still fit Fricke and Bjerre! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the years I've learned that what you have to do with SCB posts is add a few words where appropriate or change a few around then it all makes perfect sense.......mostly. ........ray c..........Danny king not being mention anymore what a waste if no track in the premiership at the start of the season. Agree but I think the fact Ipswich have first priority has made things a bit more tricky. Edited March 12, 2017 by Gemini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve0 Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 Don't think he will be a great signing over the whole season in my opinion. I think he will be better than both Brady Kurtz and Jack Holder - so that makes him a great signing in my book. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 Be very surprised if Brady and Jack dont out perform Sedgeman over the season Completely agree. Sedgman is a mediocre second string type rider. Never seen him do anything of note. But if his average fits he is useful in that respect.

Sidney the robin Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 Completely agree. Sedgman is a mediocre second string type rider. Never seen him do anything of note. But if his average fits he is useful in that respect.Believe me Sedgman is not mediocre if he clicks he is decent is he as good as J.Holder/Kurtz certainly if he puts his best foot forward. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 Yeah but instead of Sedgeman and Bjerre they could have King and a 6 pointer or Jacobs who did well last season Still think Bjerre and Sedgeman is a better choice. In Bjerre you basically getting a 2nd heatleader as a 2nd string who is one of a very few riders who can potentially increase their average and Sedgeman who in a few sides would be number 4 in a team averages but will be a number 5 at Belle Vue. Belle Vue have young reserves it makes sense to have a very strong 2nd string pairing instead of having 3 heatleaders with a starting average of over 9 and a weak 5 the rider. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouch Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 I'm crossing my fingers that Sedgeman can hold his own against the other number five averaged riders, Rose, Riss, Newman, Robson, Wright and Wilson Dean. You've got to remember we're putting this team together at the eleventh hour, well more like five to twelve so we'll take what we can, at least we're on track. Not expecting much I'm just happy to watch The Aces at the fabulous NSS. On the Brits thing how many teams have more than us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 Yeah but instead of Sedgeman and Bjerre they could have King and a 6 pointer or Jacobs who did well last season Do you really think King and Jacobs or a six pointer not yet signed up would score more than Bjerre and Sedgmen? Shame to go for the foreign lads over the Brits bit it's a complete no brainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame to go for the foreign lads over the Brits bit it's a complete no brainer.Yes i do King is a extremely good rider who rides most tracks very well and Jacobs went very well at his home track,Bjerre and Sedgeman are both inconsistant but i would agree on his average Bjerre is good value just dont rate Sedgeman very highly Edited March 12, 2017 by foreverblue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
