Somerset 2017


Recommended Posts

What so he will average 13 a meeting??? That makes sense!!!

It suits Ford allowing Holder to go out on loan to obtain a realistic average for 2018. I can't see it happening as I have mentioned before due to being a Friday track and the number of meetings Holder will miss due to the GP's. The promotion aren't silly and know the score.

 

Poole weren't prepared to take him on an unttainable average so why should anyone else unless Poole contribute £.

Unless Ipswich are moving into the Premiership it's not really relevant :P

 

 

If Gavan says its relevant then its relevant. Anything Gavan says is relevant, you should know that by now... :rofl::rofl:

I really can't work out what Somersetshire team will be. Which is quite exciting really. I reckon you will put a decent team out though. With a real no1 that's not holder. Killer may be tempted bk to uk

Good luck with your new team .

 

I look forward to seeing the names on Dec 6

 

If you follow Somerset on Twitter, or the Rebels new Twitter on Facebook page, you'll see them as they're announced, as they normally post them up as they're introduced at the social night :t:

Retaining 6 riders from the previous season when they were in a lower league - how poor is that?

 

Some people still hanging on to the old Elite League, when will people realise that the SGB Premiership is not the old EL, it's quite a step down, hence the 50pt team building limit & massive averages (which will obviously fall to 12pts or below) for people like Chris Holder, Jason Doyle etc, but a step up on the old PL.

 

In my opinion last years team would have given many in the 2016 version of the top flight a good go for their money.

I don't know how but they do it every year. You hear news and rumours of riders signing for every club but Somerset actually manage to keep most signing a secret until it happens.

With the signing of Howarth, I cannot see Wolves going top heavy. Masters to lead the Rebels with Grajczonek & Tungate as back up. Means potentially...

 

Masters 8.97
Wright 6.59
Grajczonek 8.9
Batchelor 7.36
Tungate 9.03
Allen 5.96
Wajknecht 3
0.19

Grajczonek isn't coming back, already stated he doesn't like the traveling every Friday. Wajtknecht I doubt will be back, needs a tighter track imo. Plus I doubt Masters will be a Rebel again seeing as he gets booed by a section of the crowd.

That's a team I've got a lot of time for! How realistic is it, I'm not too sure.

It hasn't been confirmed or denied that Josh isn't coming back has it? Admittedly it looks unlikely but stranger things have happened.

 

With regards Masters, do you just mean that you boo him? Let's not forget that it was Somerset who sacked him when he was riding for us. I think the only person I can remember getting booed as an opposing rider is Ben Barker!

Really? Be a great signing on 7.5. Well for the 5-10 meeting he would do before getting injured! Risk worth taking IMO.

Yep - for the exact reason you've just said. Far too injury prone and was pretty painful to watch last season on the tele.

But on that average for you he would be worth a shot. Now whether Garry thinks the same is another matter..

I disagree.

You disagree with Batch, or you disagree with the posibillity of Garry signing him ?

I think his press statement was sort of confirmation tbh. If he goes anywhere in the Premiership it will be back to Belle Vue.

 

No not just me that booes Masters, i've heard a few round by me when i've been there. Somerset didn't sack him though, he got injured and when the averages changed it meant changing 2/3 riders to bring him back. No rider is bigger than the club.

Wasn't it three into two didn't go, namely Vissing, Monberg and Masters and Gary went with the first two. Sam spat the dummy allegedly, and said some bad stuff on the media. In fairness Sam has shaped up now and would be a good signing imo. In saying that I would be amazed if he left the Wolves.

He did and i think he's grown up a bit now. You would be suprised if he left Wolves, why do you say that ?
