teaboy279 Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Maybe he means permanently, so my guess is Cradley. But he is from Manchester so maybe BV.Pretty sure Ben struggled to get his wages when he guested for the Colts, so can't see him going there tbh. I did think he would be at Kent but I saw him post on FB when someone suggested he rode at Lakeside nxt year that that was too far away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunters Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Richard Andrews to Plymouth, the list of possibilities is diminishing. It is becoming difficult to find a suitable fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzac Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 (edited) Looking most likely Dugard, Cotham and Powell ( or Harris). If we're not outgunned too much at the top end will have a strong middle/ lower order. Won't be looking foward to heat's 13 and 15 like last year, but the damage hopefully will be done in the earlier heats. Again probably be very hard to beat at home, if Baseby and Coles raise their game like Jake Knight and Perks did last year will be ok. If that's the team looks as though team spirit will be really good again next year which counts for a lot as well.

ruckerroo Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 I will be amazed if cotthams in the side, so much promise amongst the 4 so far . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunters Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 I will be amazed if cotthams in the side, so much promise amongst the 4 so far . I think you are right, Kelsey must be a certainty he could get into the 5's next season but that leaves 9.26 and try as I might I cannot see how to use that balance wisely. Might go with Luke Harris at No 7 if we could find a good No 4 on 5.3 but I can't see one. We should not go in a point below limit, It's going to be hard enough cancelling out the advantage of already top heavy teams like Cradley, Mildenhall,Lakeside and IOW. That's why I would pass over both Cottham and Charley Powell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Mole Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 the other option is a 4pointer and another 3point rider and then another pretty high 6/7 point rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunters Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 the other option is a 4pointer and another 3point rider and then another pretty high 6/7 point rider But there are only 3 of them that I can see at 6.5 area Scott Campos Danny Phillips and Jack Smith. We could not get any of them. This team building is a very tricky job this year on 39 poinys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathan Mole Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 (edited) Don't forget David Mason, who has already said he wont be riding for Kent Edited December 16, 2016 by Nathan Mole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzac Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 unless hopwood comes back with dugard and one reserve from last yr Would be ideal, but seems Hopwood isn't coming to Eastbourne Don't forget David Mason, who has already said he wont be riding for Kent Having Mason in would mean no Dugard and it looks likely he'll be back. Think the reduction from 40 to 39 points may caused a rethink to a lot of clubs though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Mole Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 I know, just throwing possible riders out their Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzac Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 I know, just throwing possible riders out their I think you've summed up how difficult it is going to be unless the Dugards unearth another Dan Spiller. On that note be great if he had a change of circumstances and could come back! Also I suppose if Kelsey wasn't returning I think Mason, Powell and Harris would fit to the exact points limit.

Nathan Mole Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 Well yeah if they could get Daniel back it would be the perfect signing, and I would hope his brother Ethan would sign aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurnTwo Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 Just announced on Facebook Charley Powell and Tom Brennan are the reseves, they just be running Kelsey at 2 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Mole Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 (edited) Well that would mean no Luke back which doesn't surprise me as thought he might be signed up elsewhere Edited December 17, 2016 by Nathan Mole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzac Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 Unless there's another 4.0 plus rider they pull from somewhere, I still think Powell, Dugard and Cottham looks the most likely if Powell is in at reserve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunters Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 Just announced on Facebook Charley Powell and Tom Brennan are the reseves, they just be running Kelsey at 2 ? Very disappointing I suspect because it leaves 5.21 for the No 4 slot and there does not appear to be anybody available in the low 5.0's. Cottham at 4.70 ??. Struggle to make the play off's unless a Herculian performance from young Tom me thinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
