Redcar 2018


Recommended Posts

Stewart is worse than expected but to expect MBA or Stewart to be pushing for heat-leaders berth was a  bit much, and there was too much pressure on Barker as Kus was a dreadful signing - and I said this at the time, Pijper is the major disappointment but have to presume he will pick up soon.

Last year Redcar team building was exemplary, The only real poor pick was Richard Hall, 

 

now We have to replace at least 2 , let’s start with Pjiper & Kus. 

If we do not do something then all the good work of last year will have been for nothing.

According to Ben Duffill he's keeping the team as it is. http://redcarbears.co/2018/05/05/apology-from-jitendra-duffill/

Some very interesting names in the Julie Lewis - Tobias Thomson, Max Ruml, Rafa Konopka, Jakob Bukhave - if they out perform the current Bears - surely contracts will be on offer...

Don't think Edinburgh would be too happy with one of them, but fair picks for the other three, wonder if George's scout will be there :P

Are Bukhave and Konopka both 4.00’s I can’t remember if they both got an average or just one of them.

I am not basing this on fact because I don't remember and can't look now, but Konopka was around for a while for a few different teams, so I'd imagine he got an average, not so sure about Bukhave though...

I believe Konopka started his British career with Redcar and after being dropped moved on to Peterborough mid season . Seemed a very sociable young man always got time to talk to fans , a 100% trier who would go and guest for any team at the drop of a hat just to earn some money. What a lot of fans didn't know is he would go without food for 2/3 days so he could spend money on equipment . I honestly think on good equipment and a reasonable sponsorship deal this lad could advance and the main reason he didn't previously was his sub standard  equipment

I wouldn't know about that but his form in Poland in recent times isn't exactly encouraging.

Tobias Thomson well worth a punt looked impressive when he rode at Berwick last season.

Must admit he was a good trier and even when last, as often he was, he was always on the third mans tail. I always thought there was something to him, but he just didn't develop.

Pijper must be sh*tting himself with a few riders of his average riding in a meeting at his home track when he isn’t performing.

Well he shouldn't be alone in that but as usual the gutless management will do nothing.

awful comment - we have decent managers and promoters, especially compared to what we had. They'll give people a chance to pull up their socks but they will change if necessary. Knee jerk reactions solve nothing
