dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 Drew Kemp isnt 16 until deep into the season so isnt elligible to ride in the Championship in 2018 Good enough mind but still not elligible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebaker Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 Drew Kemp isnt 16 until deep into the season so isnt elligible to ride in the Championship in 2018 Good enough mind but still not elligible Thanks for that. Only rode a handful of meetings at end of season for Mildenhall didn't he. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boz Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 Tobi has already posted he isnt riding in UK next year Would be disappointed with that - we stuck with him this year with his injuries. Garcia instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheekycobra Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 Would be disappointed with that - we stuck with him this year with his injuries. Garcia instead? Or Ellis (depending on the team total allowance). I hope we fit Bukhave back in at reserve. I think he will do what Ellis did last season.

BenR195 Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 Would be disappointed with that - we stuck with him this year with his injuries. Garcia instead? He said he wont ride in UK next season because he wants to focus on Germany, Denmark and Poland, Coty or Jacob would be good if we could get them at reserve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 Or Ellis (depending on the team total allowance). I hope we fit Bukhave back in at reserve. I think he will do what Ellis did last season. Seriously, what is it that Redcar fans see in Bukhave that the rest of us can't see. I saw a hard trying rider going nowhere, but hanging around to make himself available. I am aware of a personal attachment he may have with Redcar, but I think Konopka was a better bet than Bukhave. Honest opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a hard trying rider going nowhere, but hanging around to make himself available. I am aware of a personal attachment he may have with Redcar, but I think Konopka was a better bet than Bukhave. Honest opinion. If you are going on the Bukhave that started 2016 season, having been thrown in the deep end, then possibly you could have that judgement. I think anyone who has seen Bukhave ride in the latter part of last season would be astounded with your view that Konopka is more likely to be a better option I don't say he is a rider who will rise to heat leader and take the league by storm, but the improvement over the year and his performance in Silver Helmet and other meetings, do (in my honest opinion) justify serious consideration for a team place using 4.00 points. He will easily score that at home, no question. As to Konopka - could be the answer to Newcastle's ongoing reserve issues and..... he is cheap - I'm sure kev/jitendra will give George a good loan deal for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 I dont think that non Brits should be in the Championship on a 4 anyway. Its the reason a number of progerssing youngsters have found themselves frozen out in the past. The min 5 (at least) shoukdve been retained IMO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yearbyred Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 Bukhave looked a much improved rider on his couple of meetings at Redcar last year so I think most Bears fans would be happy to have him if he could ride at Reserve. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 Wasn't this the case last year.. . Had to come in on a 5...but could drop to 4 or come in on less than 5 if achieved under that previously (with min 4) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boz Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 Bears to announce first rider on Thursday. Barker or Wright? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norfolk Bear Posted November 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 Bears to announce first rider on Thursday. Barker or Wright? I think Barker , with the relaxation of the tapes rules Garrity on his lower Average is a must 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheekycobra Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 I'm guessing 4 or 5 of last years team will be back, with a strength in depth squad. One thing that never been mentioned is, do young reserves still come in on a 2 and is one compulsory or change back to 3 again. If they are 2 I wonder if any team will go for two 2 pointers with a massive top end top 4 or 5? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking Barker too, Wright Garrity Andersen in main body, it's been posted Busch won't ride in UK next year, is it just a rumour ?. I know it's not possible, but I would love to see Nathan Greaves in a Bears race jacket at reserve. I can dream though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boz Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 So no Garrity back next year. Maybe a Proctor or Jorgenson in to replace him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
