Flappy Posted June 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 Actually feel sorry for Panthers in this situation, they have gone from title challengers to mid table through no fault of their own. Riders appear happy to come to Panthers which is positive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 (edited) Along with Greaves, Perks was the most improved rider last season, so at least he is a rider on the upward curve. And currently flappy you are only 1 point off the top of the table. Edited June 8, 2018 by Baldyman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukas Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 Just found this on another thread... On 1/7/2018 at 7:55 AM, Uluru said: Ellis Perks is sitting in Australia without a club in the UK. Bears should have gone for him, rather than the unknown quantity I agree wholeheartedly, Uluru, and I have to admit that I am embarassed and totally mystified as to why he has been cut after his simply stunning contribution to the cause in 2017. Has someone at the top forgotten how, particularly at the beginning of the campaign, Ellis was weighing in with huge double-figure scores almost everywhere he went and, along with Barker and Garrity, was the backbone of the team. Without those contributions we would surely have not gone on to enjoy sucha successful season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foamfence Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 Very good prospect, Panthers and Ellis both deserve lots of success from this move, it was criminal how such a good British prospect was left aside while clubs fill their sides with mediocre foreigners or develop overseas riders in preference to our own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the Panthers lair Ellis , looks like a good signing under the circumstances , just wonder if he's we will be match fit for Sunday , surprised that no team has taken a chance with him after looking at what he achieved last season and he's British and still only 21.

Lukas Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 ...and thinking ahead when Grondal and Lunna return..any underperforming riders could be replaced by them so we kind of now have a squad situation somewhat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenga Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 a squad system eh . how does that work then , oh i see a rider drops points off his average and you bring in , say nike who has a higher average . so you will have to redeclre to the 42.50 limit every time . squad systems only work in football and the army ! fans need to have a group of riders they can call their team . still , good luck with that .

Lucas did put on the end of his post ( somewhat), I understand what he means and i'm sure you do. 1. 99 under the 42.50 max team limit will leave plenty of scope should Panthers wish to re-declare Edited June 8, 2018 by New era Panthers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get many more, we will have to have an outing to cheer on 'our' boys. Its 4 i believe... Ostergaard, Nicholls, Perks and Wilson-Dean. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukas Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 I know what you mean but Tom Bacon is improving..had an 18max the other night..if Scott spent a bit of time with him showing him how to ride the outside he could be something with his gating.
