bullet Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 There are a few riders who could fill the role but it would definitely be a steep learning curve for them and as pointed out would leave us vunerable with injuries. Rob Shuttleworth Ryan Burton (nearly back from injury) Both of these have guested/ridden a lot around the EWR Luke harris Loe lawlor Tom Brennan These 3 have not had the Championship experience but again have ridden lots around the EWR and should at least progress well at home Does anyone know if Marc Owen is fit again and intends to ride or has he called it quits??? My favourite pick would be Jack Thomas who has ridden a few times around here but travelling might be too much as i believe he is local to the kent area. One wild card i would through out there as well though is Tom Young! he was on the verge of the scorpions a few years ago but then stopped racing, however he is looking to get back and has had a couple of outings but would depend if he could get the gear together and commit the time.

Can confirm you won't ever see Marc racing again unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney the robin Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 (edited) Tom Brennan and Jack Thomas are two i would be looking at be nice if those lads could come in with no pressure and learn off of the experienced riders both have bright futures.

OdsalBoy Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 Andy Mellish. David Speight could also be worth a go at 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i think there your best options jack has a years more experience so may favour him slightly. Shuttleworth has improved alot also. That is assuming Knight and baesby are not on a 2.00 average.

ScunnyDan Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Theres a fair few riders I'd quite like to see don the Scorpions no. 7 jacket - most likely one being Ryan Kinsley (who around the EWR is better than Kyle Bickley IMO) Ryan Kinsley Ryan MacDonald Jordan Jenkins (I know hes only doing NL but if we need a new No 7 due to injury, maybe an option?) Tom Young Henry Atkins Tom Brennan Drew Kemp (if eligible) Dan Gilkes (if eligible) Jack Thomas the list goes on.... although I'd be happy with Josh Bailey back, in a make or break season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tosh1218 Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Josh bailey average is to high ,has to be a 2 point rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OdsalBoy Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Looks like Georgie Wood will not be at Sheffield now as we have signed james Shanes, Would his average fit in with what you have left perhaps ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Johnson Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Nope, we only have just over 2 to use and hes on 2,37..If lakeside have Zac W down on a 2 can we have Jake Knight or Mark Baseby on a 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OdsalBoy Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Always been a fan of Baseby to be fair, could be worth a shot down at No. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adz_mft Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 (edited) Jordan Jenkins would be an amazing signing to finish off your team, but any of the following could still do a job.. Saul BULLEY Mason SEARSBY Danno VERGE Mark BASEBY Luke Harris could be worth a go... Andy Mellish. David Speight could also be worth a go at 7. Jordan Hatcher.Surely you're on a wind up with these suggestions lol.Some aren't even NL standard let alone Championship.As for Jenkins, he won't be doing anything other than NL due to his school stuff.
