Ben91 Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 I don't think age is of any importance, we're potentially building what would have been a solid enough side in the EL in a league that is a slightly stronger PL. Watt wouldn't be on my shopping list personally but if he did sign on I wouldn't look at it as a bad move. Schlein's name has been mentioned as has Jorgensen's, I'd be happy with either of those. I'm hoping that we don't sign Morley, he has improved year on year and is pretty loyal to Rye I'd imagine, but he has no chance of maintaining his average in this division IMO. We'd be better served either having Rob as our lowest averaged rider or signing a two pointer to give us more scope for the rest of the main team/final reserve. On his average I suspect Morley won't be short of Championship offers, if he can go and become a second string in that league at a different track to Rye then he could be in with a shot of a reserve berth here in 2018. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barraider Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 Would love to see branford back and robbo( he scored more points home and away than kennet this year) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beowulf Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 My money is on Eddie Kennett and Stuart Robson as the next signings, you then have four British riders who can all ride any track in the UK. The difference between Kennett's home and away average is huge, so not sure about his all round ability..................................................................... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see Robbo go a whole year injury free. If we can have him back next season I'd have no problem with it at all but he could be a victim of the numbers.

Like you, I'm afraid his average will dictate whether he stays or not. What would his Premier average be? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Beevers Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 Well done to Rye on two excellent English signings. The only slight worry, I would have with signing both is they are so reliable that I think every team at least once or twice last year used either of them as a guest and they both do guest a lot for missing riders and injuries. Hopefully they uninjured and free of fatigue. Already looking like a team of track specialists at Monmore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JmeRay Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 I'd rather a two pointer and a stronger rider in the 1-5 as opposed to Morley and NBJ. Branford would be the 7th averaged rider in an ideal world. Danyon would be a good punt if he's on a 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you, I'm afraid his average will dictate whether he stays or not. What would his Premier average be? 7.09, if Kennett is retained then I can see Robbo's average being too high to fit, especially if the Jorgensen rumours are true. It's all been quiet on the Robbo front, NBJ too for that matter, despite a number of fans wanting both back. With rumours of Jorgensen, Schlein and even Watt it's obvious we can't have all of them.

Lots of names being thrown around. It's good to have so much interest. One positive is that the promotion realised that last years team building was a disaster and have gone early this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JmeRay Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 I'd quite like Palovaara at reserve. He's been great at Rye and his average isn't too bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I would fault the new promotion on from a team building standpoint with both the Raiders and Rockets in both of their seasons in charge is that the reserves have not been good enough, at least one strong reserve should always be included.
