Arch Stanton Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 Was gonna say the same this morning Baldy but couldn’t be bothered! May as well rip the team up and try two or three newbies from abroad. If only one of those turns out to be a diamond then it’ll have been worth it. Why not?

Baldyman Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 (edited) My thoughts exactly, we won't make the play offs and already out of everything else, so nothing to lose.. A few new young and attack minded riders may just help keep the crowd interested, as that often drops once play offs cant be made. Wouldn't mind seeing someone like Brennan given a few meetings at reserve. Edited July 14, 2018 by Baldyman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk127 Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 Why not put together a team of NL riders, arrange some challenge matches and individual meetings and forget the rest of the league season. Afterall the witches are only making up the numbers now and so how about putting on some entertainment and see what riders can be unearthed for next year. Riders turning up knowing that team places are up for grabs will certainly be going all out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 With Mark Riss being dropped by Edinburgh Id like to see him brought in I know it would take a complete redeclaration unless he would replace Jeppesen (which would be a shame - I liked what I saw briefly on Thursday) All down to the numbers and options available to complete the 7 of course as to which way is best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScotsman Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 Mark would be a great signing. Really sorry we have dropped him. Think he was close to winning the Scottish open at the start of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89buttons Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 (edited) Masters 10.4 schlein 9.58 covatti 6.64 jeppeson 5.2 riss 4.86 mountain 3.62 a national league rider on a 2 comes to 42.3 - my pick in the absence of being able to select drew kemp would be tom Brennan for 2 point man can’t see him scoring much less than danyon once into the swing of it covatti going well Home and away now as third heat leader and would have a top 1&5 capable of scorin heavily Home and away Mark riss goes well at Foxhall and can slot in at no.2 be a bit tough on heeps but he’s been no where near the level he reached last year - we need a competitive one to seven home and away and he just hasn’t been reliable enough - can’t see how else we can pull in a sufficient replacement for Danny without redeclaring Edited July 15, 2018 by 89buttons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badge Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 Could we have a guest for Jonas?? I'm sure they announced Thurs evening he had a broken scaphoid which surely means 6 weeks at least doesn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racin Jason 72 Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 Sign Coty Garcia or Ellis Perks or both I think a few changes are needed to have one last push for the play offs it’s not over yet !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On witches website today Hawkins quoted as saying Jonas injury isn’t too bad at all - whereas danyon has had surgery on his shoulder so was basing this on Jonas being good quickly - similarly if wasn’t to be his average is assessed and lends to another new swede/Dane if one could be found https://ipswichwitches.co/hawkins-we-need-riders-asap/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cuckootoyou Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 Jonas is fine, he rode in Denmark Friday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 , Don't get signing Riss, his average hasn't gone anywhere for a few seasons, so he obviously isn't going to get any better. if Jonas is out for a while then I suppose Riss could be a stop gap, but certainly not someone I would want to see full time. So who else should go, heeps for sure...never going to fulfill the potential he once had, in fact get shot of them all and apart from Rory and nico.
