PHILIPRISING Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Isn't there some hope that Poland will relax that rule now Britain is apparently moving to fixed race nights? Would help with the return of quite a few Danish riders such as NKI too. TALKS with the Polish authorities in Torun over the weekend did not go well ... Not strictly true, Matt Ford can only put him in the Pirates side, if Charles wants to ride for the team. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter who holds his contract, a rider will ride where he wants to & if that's not his parent club, there's not much they can do. Sure, a promoter could stop another club talking to one of his contracted riders, but that would only have the effect of antagonising the rider, who would probably just stick two fingers up to the parent club. RIDERS don't actually have a contract after October 31st 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
womble53 Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) RIDERS don't actually have a contract after October 31st Maybe I should have used the term, 'Team Asset' PR, or even written it as follows 'it doesn't matter who holds his registration, a rider will ride where he wants to' but you clearly know the point I was making Edited October 9, 2017 by womble53 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marge Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) Charles has to be back, my rider of the season 2017 also like to see Richard Lawson and Josh. A meeting with no guests maybe.

SomersetBlue Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Would love to have this lineup next season based on current averages. 1. Robert Lambert 7.36 maybe no Doyle/Holder etc next season so would be one of the best in the league and I think he might want a break from King's Lynn next season. Wishful thinking though. 2. Jake Allen 5.07 wouldn't be my choice personally but in with the promotion so i'm certain would be back. 3. Charles Wright 6.63 don't think this needs an explanation really. 4. Patrick Hougaard 6.09 had a rubbish second half of the season but that average is very enticing isn't it. 5. Josh Grajczonek 7.34 has done well but should never be a top flight no. 1 6. Lewis Kerr 5.06 found it hard to start witj but since has been one of the best reserves in the league. 7. BWD 4.67 is our asset and like Wright doesn't need explanation.

Not sure if R Lambert would be one of the best in the league, even without those two riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomersetBlue Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Not sure if R Lambert would be one of the best in the league, even without those two riding. I'm sure he would be in the top 10 personally. He has the ability to the best in the league tbf with better guidance behind him which I think he would get at Somerset. No offence to King's Lynn but no rider was going to flourish there this season with a club clearly on a downhill spiral unfortunately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perton Wolf Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Not strictly true, Matt Ford can only put him in the Pirates side, if Charles wants to ride for the team. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter who holds his contract, a rider will ride where he wants to & if that's not his parent club, there's not much they can do.

Good point. I think Wolves sold Musielak's contract to Swindon because CVS apparently said that it doesn't matter much whose ''asset'' a rider is - ultimately they will decide where they want to race. Plus, we didn't acquire Masters' contract when Somerset made him available either, instead I think it was Edinburgh who bought it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offence to King's Lynn but no rider was going to flourish there this season with a club clearly on a downhill spiral unfortunately. Either getting away from Lynn or his current crew would probably do him good. He is about the 15th in the list of green sheet averages so if he can improve his average in 2018 that will be good at his age. I wish him well as a young Brit, as we need a few good ones, but as you say better guidance might do him good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure that line up is strong enough Brummie Rebel. Certainly decent enough at home and would take some beating at the OTA. Despite the attractive average for Hougaard, I'm not sure the management would take a chance with him. Personally I thought he was bitterly disappointing all season. I'd like the Rebels to go with an established number one, supported by Josh, Lawson and Wright. Zach to return at reserve maybe? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomersetBlue Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) Really? He's been around that average for a long time now. Only after his injury he was in the 7s before that. He is a much better rider than 6.09. Lawson is a better option but I can't see May dropping Josh, Kerr, Allen, Wright and i'm sure BWD will be the first rider he will get in the team sheet with Swindon sure to be sniffing. So that would leave only 7.26 for a proper no. 1. Edited October 11, 2017 by Brummie Rebel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RHayes Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Swindon or Lakeside for Zach You'll probably see Allen and BWD at reserve for Somerset next year. That would be the plan. Not much of the team needs to be tinkered with but we do need a genuine no.1, just need to get hold of one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zach to return at reserve maybe? have to say thought houggard was bit disappointing before he got injured,and after not sure he wanted to ride for the rebels,but might of been in problems with geting fit again.would like Cameron heeps back myself,and how about geting a old rider back at bottom end in Alex Davis?

Doesn't leave much for the other 4 riders especially to fit Lawson, Grajczonek and Wright as expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Najjer Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 Hougaard has been very poor... not to mention injury prone. It's either that or he just couldn't be bothered for the tail end of the season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albeit Josh would be no.1 at 7.34, but that wouldn't last long and Holder flew around Somerset this season. A bargain on that average. An opening pairing of the Holder's wouldn't be too bad if Jack isn't at Poole. Edited October 12, 2017 by RH92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
