SCB Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 Think Rye can expect Kennet, Nilsson & Nicholls as a top 3. Nicholls would be a great signing for Rye House. Had a stinker of a season last year because he couldn't get around his home track (won something like 11 heats I think was the stat I saw quoted this week) but was something like 5th in the away average for the EL. Get him on a track he can ride and he could be something of a Premiership rarity in 2017 as a rider who can up his average in a season where most will struggle to maintain theirs. Rye House should be a track he thrives on, he's a small track specialist. Actually hopeful he's back at Coventry this season but can see how Rye House is actually an ideal location for both him and the club. As for Kim Nilsson, what a weird rider. First time I saw him I sent a text to a mate saying he was a future World Champion. About 3 heats later I thought he'd do well to get out of the PL. And his career has basically seen me change my mind about how good or bad he is every heat I see him race! For me he's a bit of a risk on that sort of figure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 Woffinden has a ''gentleman's agreement'' with Peter Adams that he won't race for anybody else but Wolves in the UK. I assume it's still valid...... Tai I reckon would ride for any team if it suited his schedule and availability. However he won't ride for anyone for a full season.

dabbsjoe Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 I'd love to see Tyson Nelson back over here . I know he has his problems but loved watching him and on a 6.06 average in my opinion that would be a steal.Also sure Busk Jacobsen will be in the team as he's an asset and on a handy average also. theres a very good reason why he's not been back over here and probably never will be now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBJ comes in on a 6.98 as well so it'd be over the points limit and converted averages are rounded up so Tai would be 9.85.

Ben91 Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 I don't think that would be a long tail, Look at the best teams under 50 thread teams will be significantly weaker In a league where teams can be made up entirely of seven point riders having your two reserves adding up to around nine between them isn't wise. Then having a five pointer in a second string berth is not smart at all. Points gained by reserves count just as much as those gained by big hitting heat leaders on averages that they can't possibly achieve. Strength in depth will win over going top heavy next year.

stevebrum Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 I predict Tai will sign for Wolves on July 30th If his Polish and Swedish teams aren't in contention of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocketbee Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 Does anyone no who's a Rye asset apart from NBJ & Eddie? Kasper, Mellgren, Morley,Boxall,Bowen unless the latter 3 are Len Silver assets but as far as I know they are Rye owned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
