Scunthorpe Scorpions 2018


Recommended Posts

Both Worrall's riding in lower league in Poland & has been said elsewhere Steve riding closer to home. Whether that means St Helens or Cleethorpes, unsure.

 

Auty due a testimonial so where else would he ride.

 

In Glasgow thread, they wanted Allen but MANSE pointed out that he has verbally agreed with another club & Rob said at the end of this year he was available on a 6.08, still.

 

 

So going by other postings, a team of S Worrall, Auty, Allen & throw in the returns of Lyager & Nielsen would be a good start. There was also the cryptic mention of the "frog", probably being Berge but he still has a high 6.9 average from 2016 rather than his raced 4.55 average as he did not complete the required number of meetings to get a true average.

 

5 out of the 6 named would be a good start with Lyager the most likely to miss out.

I cant believe it took a Championship club to the tail end of 2017 to give Jake Allen a run - he was excellent in 2016 in his debut season and pretty solid in the top league for the Rebels last season in his first season in the top league.

 

He s a steal on a 6 and will be a heat leader no doubt very quickly.

It was more an issue with the visa Jake was over here on rather than no one wanting him. He was raring to go and wanting to ride his bike during the Rebels PL summer break! Once the visa got sorted he flew around Scunny as we all knew he would.

Great start to the team I think with Jake and Josh signed, hopefully get the number 1 everyone is talking about in Stevie Worrall then need to finish it off well and think we can challenge

 

1 - Worrall - 9.02

2. - Allen - 6.08

3. - Auty - 6.90

4.

5. - Lyager - 7.00

6.

7. - Mountain - 3.33

 

Would like to see Lyager return and on his 7 he could very easily be battling Jake Allen and Stevie for the number 1 berth. Mountain always looked a decent rider and think he would be a good addition at reserve seems to like the big tracks.

 

Would leave us 10.17 for the final two, would definitely have Stefan Neilsen on a 5.53 leaving 4.64 for the final rider, which I really dont know who I would want for that average at the moment although might have slightly more of Mountain got a reduction for being a brit

I think it was more the point very few teams could actually fit him in when he wanted to double up

If they sign Worrall as an out/out number 1 with Auty/Allen thats a pretty good trio Lyager also would be a decent signing Auty on that 6.90 figure could easily add a point on that on home form alone.

I don't think Steve will be at Scunthorpe and unfortunately I don't see him at Newcastle either, he will go Glasgow or full time PL and abroad imo
