ScunnyDan Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 So according to the Scunthorpe Telegraph, Rob has narrowed the choice for the No 7 down to 3 - Danny Phillips, Ryan Kinsley and David Wallinger.. Personally I'd quite like to see Phillips or Kinsley, however Star says that Wallinger is the likely candidate. I cant fault his dedication to want to ride for Scunny, but cant see him improving realistically. Kinsley rides our track rather well and think he could become a regular heat 2 winner around the EWR.

Bagpuss Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 Not sure Ryan is ready for the Championship yet but would be good to see him get a chance to impress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 Phillips is head and shoulders above the other two on pedigree and if Scunny don't snap him up he will get picked up during the season elsewhere. The other two offer very little in terms of supporting cases other than looking ok at practice sessions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 Phillips has proven that he can be amongst the points in the Championship, whereas the other 2 haven’t. Surely it’s a no brainer?! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scunny1 Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 As others have said Phillips is a much better bet. We want to see 7 potential race winners in the team ,not 6and a rookie.Sod's Law will say someone will get injured and then a non performing rookie is a liability. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To quote the Telegraph, 'Some of those could include Danny Phillips, Ryan Kinsley and David Wallinger who have all been mentioned'. But I agree with everyone Danny Phillips is best option, especially as he posted on his twitter page 'First time back on my bike yesterday it felt like i was never off it everything felt good no pain in either leg or back can’t wait to start racing now'.

ProudtobeaBrummie Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Shuttleworth or Phillips are the best options although you must give Danny ample time to adjust in the first couple of months .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScunnyDan Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 Would really really like to see Danny Phillips, good reports coming from him from the training camp at IOW, and an ex Saint. Its awesome to see our young kids come up to become Scorpions (Ash Birks, Steve Worrall to name a couple)... I think it may be a different rider though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronScorpion Posted February 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 I would like to see Danny as our no7 & I am sure Steve will have his input on Rob's decision as he would have kept an eye on him at the IOW training camp. Wallinger was used a few times last year & cannot fault his enthusiasm to ride for the Scorpions but feel with the standard of no7's in the other teams, he would struggle as he is only, at the moment, a 5.6 NL rider & little Josh B is an 8.9 rider who is being replaced.

Steve has taken a great interest in Danny whilst they were both at Newcastle. He has worked hard on Danny's gating and has rode together with him. I would say with Steve's influence, it a betting cert it is Danny, and he is your best choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Danny will struggle big time. He's just came back from a serious injury and reserves this season are much stronger than last. I think he needs a season in the National League. Just my opinion. Don't shoot me down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
