Cliffeboy Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Oh dear is this the sort of carry on we can expect in the new Premiership every week. Think I may have to give it a miss if so. Please other teams if you must have a tear up on basically bu**er all do it on your own threads. You know it makes sense. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually WRX STI at the end of the Impreza if we're being pedantic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 So how do people feel about a team of... Tungate Wright Hougaard Starke Grajczonek Allen Graveson To me it looks like a team that will have few 0's on the scorecard, but towards the end of meetings will find it difficult to get heat advantages. I don't know much about any of these riders since I haven't attended a meeting that wasn't a GP, SWC or at Brandon, Poole or the NSS for a few years. I have watched every meeting available on TV tough. I don't think there is much improvement in Hougaard or Grajczonek but both are experienced enough to hold their own. I don't see Wright or Graveson being match winners either, but again they should hold be solid. Tungate & Allen, need to have a good year if the Rebels are to make the play-offs.

Najjer Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Wright could very much be a match winner within his own right. I'd expect to see him line up at no.2 alongside Tungate so heat 8s will be crucial against another second string. Hougaard needs to be in for a big year though. I don't really know that much about him but he seems to have something going on and a decent style on the bike to boot too!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomersetBlue Posted December 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 (edited) Wright and Starke are very much capable of beating other second strings and maybe a few third heat leaders. They both know the away tracks too. Allen has the potential to be the best reserve in the league if he pushes on, away may be a struggle though. If Graversen can then use his determination and put in some good performances we COULD have the best partnership in the league. Tungate and Grajczonek are both capable of beating anyone at home except the GP riders. Away will be the problem there. Houagaard is a decent stylish rider who has potential hopefully he can find a home at Somerset and perform to it.

A top international rider, why do you think Garry has put this team together ? The club couldn't afford one. So you are better off starting here, you will not lose many at home.. And im very sure Garry will have a good idea of most of the tracks, that's also down to the riders.. Also a few more through your turnstyles wouldn't go amiss, Edited December 14, 2016 by Starman2006 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Yes but there are 'big bucks' and then 'bigger bucks' when he realised he'd have to drop one of his foreign team places!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure Gary was being totally honest.

SteveLyric2 Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 (edited) The Polish ruling was initially rumoured/reported/translated to be Extraleague plus one other league!! This was later changed to Extraleague plus 2 other leagues (one of which must be the rider's 'domestic' league - UK in the case of Aussie riders)! This was always going to have a greater effect on those Danes that had secured a Polish Extraleague place.

Ghosty Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Come on all you Rebels supporters - now we are in the top division we need plenty of activity on this forum. My biggest disappointment is the selection Graveson for 2017 I can't see Garys thinking behind that one - time will tell!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My biggest disappointment is the selection Graveson for 2017 I can't see Garys thinking behind that one - time will tell!! Not much to discuss at the moment I think Chris tbh. The team is pretty much what I think most of us expected. Shame no BWD at reserve tho, I think he will find it hard in Swindons top five. I'm following Rohan in Aus to keep me interested as I'm bored silly with Belle Vue and Coventry, and the handbags on the Poole thread. Poole remind me of West Ham FC supporters, fighting each other lol. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
