Ben91 Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 KK, Bomber and Scotty I would hope are bankers. Ricky was a solid second string and deserves a spot. Ellis Perks needs to be bought back at reserve and I'd have Jye Etheridge at reserve. Leaving just one to fill once the limit is known. Etheridge, seriously?

STEVEHOLS54 Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 Would make the guess the team game for 2018 so much better if all knew the limit was going to be say 45 points rather than say 42/43. Supposed we all have to await the BSPA meting in Nov even though the promoters probably already know what the draft limit proposal will be already. I hope it is 45 points with a min of 2 Brits per team. Opens up more options for all teams who can go for more strength in depth thru the 1 to 7 without having to always have a 2/3 pointer to balance the 42 points. I still believe with the Prem/Champ/National leagues we have the structure in place to bring along young riders. For me riders such as Parkinson Blackburn and Jack Smith need to graduate through the leagues. Not all can be like Dan Bewley. JPB and JS were ripping up the tracks in NL last year but both have to a degree struggled in Champ and JS have struggled even more in PL. The Poles have a good system with each rider having to track 2 Polish riders 21 or under as Juniors per team (irrespective of how good/bad their av are). The Swedes with their min 2 Swedish riders per team. Again av do not come into it. I think the min 2 Brit per team is good and up to Promoters to decide how many Brits they want per team over the 2 minimum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben91 Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Rode well last Monday. One meeting, shouldn't be signing riders off the back of that. Much, much improved rider this season. Still only averaged five in the second tier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebrum Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 One meeting, shouldn't be signing riders off the back of that. Still only averaged five in the second tier. Mark Riss only achieved just over a 4 in 2016 and is much improved in 2017 and is doing well in the top flight too. I'd go on his end of season form which indicates he is much improved. He was like a junior in his first 2 rides,terrible to watch really.That's what you get with KK though.Sometimes he looks unbeatable then other times it's like it is his first time on a bike. Ditto his career in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not the sort of rider we should be looking at if we want to win things. Edited September 15, 2017 by Ben91 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
