Islander15 Posted December 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 Certainly happy with the signing of Ben as he’s a very likeable bloke and is a dependable number 5. Just a 3rd heat leader, second string and junior reserve to find! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moleman27 Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Dont think any team is going to want Govier after the way he has treated teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted December 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 With Widman and a 3 pointer back that leaves 5.18 and my choice would be Luke Harris. Though Callum Walker seems to love the island track so it would be good to see him feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky_Mark Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 2 good signings in Morley and Hopwood but what it does now mean is that Campos starts the season as the 3rd heat leader if Widman returns and it's not possible at all now to fit in Cockle,Wilson or Coles They did need to strengthen the team to make sure on track success backed up what in my opinion is the best promoted club in the country but I must admit I'm quite disappointed that Connor Coles isn't back in the team. Very difficult building to such a low points limit though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very difficult building to such a low points limit though! Conner Coles told us pretty early on that he would have loved to return to the island but his work committment in the midlands was a struggle for him to continue. He kind of asked permission to look elsewhere, which of course he received with our absolute blessing. Connor is a great guy, with a great family and we will miss him.

TurnTwo Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Oh sorry I must have missed their signings  just checked so they have Morley 9.49 / Hopwood 7.44 / Sealey 3.00 / portwood 3.83 / campos 5.80 i think they should go: Lee Smart 4.24 & Luke Harris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted December 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 I think Lee Smart has packed in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 Problem with Lee is he packed in every 2 laps. Bit surprised Sealey is back? Although he is a 3 pointer with league experience now and has time to prepare this year. That said he really needs to improve his equipment and cut out the falls when in decent positions.

waco Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 (edited) Not a lot of back up to Morley and Hopwood in this side i would not consider Campos a heat leader.....Mildenhall and Eastbourne seemed to have signed all the best youngsters Edited December 18, 2017 by waco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Widman an almost certainty to feature and 5.18 to play with a rider like Luke Harris seems set to complete the side. Whilst ironically Widman & Harris would be the ones with most scope for average improvement it does leave the engine room of the team a little light weight 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
