Fromafar Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 Whilst I echo your argument I think it would be unfair on the likes of Doolan and/or Howe to be shown the door. Both are very dependable riders, ok their good nights aren`t that great but equally they very rarely have poor nights. Doolan has been very reliable over the last few season and I fully expect him to be the first name on the team sheet, Howe came into our team as a massive gamble and IMO very much rode himself into reckoning into next years team though if they change the team limits his average could count against him.A No1 the same standard as Nick last year is first priority IMO .Its was a Good job that Jye improved and Nick was a great signing because the rest could not be relied on when the going got tough espiecially away from home.Need some fresh blood IMO . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandit59 Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 If we could get Nick again D Howe A Summers J Etheridge B Barker C Garcia JPB don't know if that would fit think that would be a half decent team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balderdash&piffle Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 With the new rules this season, especially with the the return of the tactical substitute rule. It is absolutely vital that the first priority is the No1 rider backed up by No3 & No5 very competent riders then the No7 (who it does appear is already in place), the other 3 you can then slot in depending on points available 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balderdash&piffle Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 Â Morris, 2,Etheridge, 3,Summers, 4,Howe, 5,Doolan, 6,Greaves, 7,JPBÂ Need each rider to increase his average, Morris at No 1 may not but probably does not need to. Is Etheridge going to have a 2nd season dip, cannot see Summers, Howe or Doolan increasing averages, not sure if Greaves will I can see JPB increasing. Drop Doolan bring in Busk Jacobsen he might increase perhaps for one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you I wouldnt sign him, but hes nailed on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you I wouldnt sign him, but hes nailed on. I know it you know and everone else as well, just pointing out if you want success hard decisions have to be made. My suggestion for Kevin Doolan is lose him as a rider, but employ him as a manager. I like Kev and I like his attitude to speedway, but the team needs to move forward, so for me nether Kev or Aaron Gappmaier instead of Greaves? Agree on that, for the rest every rider will need to increase their average, several of those mentioned will not 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beaky11 Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 Any discount for Howe 2018 team building averages havent been released on SGB site yet, the last average on the site for Josh Auty was 6.95 but his average for start of 2018 will be 6.90 so will have to wait for these before knowing if that team fits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doolan will be worse again next season, but as you say, he's a good bloke and he isnt going to cause any problems so he's a shoe in. Funny how criteria when signing riders differs from club to club isnt it. 1. R. Lawson 2. Gapp 3. Doolan 4. Howe 5. Summers 6. Etheridge 7.

89buttons Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 Surprised no one including joe Jacobs in any teams...was improving somewhat by he end of his short stint with you, surely good value on a 4.67....decent rider on big fast tracks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
