Dandelion Posted December 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 Sunday night boredom and back to talking about team building Richie Worrall © 7.80 GBR Ashley Morris 5.44 GBR Matej Kus 5.63 CZE Rene Bach 7.19 DEN Tero Aarnio 6.83 FIN Ben Hopwood 2.40 GBR Alfie Bowtell 2.32 GBR Tero Aarnio 6.83 FIN Ludvig Lindgren 6.47 SWE Matej Kus 5.63 CZE Matthew Wethers 5.78 AUS Kyle Newman 5.83 GBR Ashley Morris 5.44 GBR 2.00er (Prob Danny) 2.00 GBR Steve Worrall 7.97 GBR Ashley Morris 5.44 GBR Tero Aarnio 6.83 FIN Matej Kus 5.63 CZE Richie Worrall 7.80 GBR Alfie Bowtell 2.32 GBR 2.00er (Prob Danny) 2.00 GBR Think my last one is my favourite, despite not having Ludvig or Rene Here's a question, who would people like as a 2.00er? I don't mean 2.01 or higher, just a 2.00er A few that come to my mind would be: a mature JPB (Does he even still ride?), Luke Ruddick (Sounds good, localish if Berwick don't pick up), Josh Embleton (Too soon?), Danny Phillips (Is he fit?), Connor Coles (Again in weaker league?), James Cockle (Experience?), James Hitchen (Too soon? Not sure...), Jason Edwards (Too far?), Jordan Jenkins (No way lol, we'd never get him), Rob Shuttleworth (Any good?), William O'Keefe (Too soon?), David Wallinger (Redcar?)

Sings4Speedway Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 Of those listed above: mature JPB didn't happen and he retired. (Last heard he was injured in car accident so get well soon). Cockle also retired. Embleton, Hitchen, O'Keefe cannot yet hold down a NL reserve berth so far too soon. Wallinger very unreliable so would advise to keep away. Think Coles & Ruddick could do a job, likewise Edwards & Jenkins but they will be in high demand, Luke Harris could prove to be a handy choice but otherwise its Phillips unless Newcastle are bold and ignore the 2.00 option.

Not strictly true. When Josh joined Birmingham he was there for the rest of the season, but I wouldn't argue that it's too soon for Championship. Hopefully he will get a team spot in the NL for 2019. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to be honest I wasn't sure about any of them, most were just local youngsters that came to mind and others were big shots and experienced NL riders... The thought of Connor Coles is more and more appealing to me the more I think of it, in this weaker league, he already knows the track, give him another shot I say... Similarly Luke Ruddick, he's ridden Brough in the NJL and I think he's a very solid, young rider... Wasn't sure whether JPB rode still like and as you say, get well soon... Also good luck to James Cockle, didn't realise he'd retired either... Embleton, Hitchen, O'Keefe (All young, local options, wasn't sure of any of them tbh) Wallinger imo still looks an ok shout and as you say, Edwards and Jenkins will be hard to get... The 2.00 option looks pretty desperate for Newcastle and I think whoever we sign there could make or break our season... Connor Coles seems best to me right now, although I'll probably think different later xD Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 Have to agree that Coles looks to be one of the better 2.00ers that is slightly under the radar, he has certainly upped his preparation and approach over the past couple of years. He should land a NL place somewhere too which is not a certainty with some of the others listed and those extra rides could be vital for confidence.

bigbird Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 You can count Rene Bach out.apparently he used most of his leave from his job in Denmark to race for the comets in 2018 and with his partner due to give birth to his baby in march/April most of his leave for 2019 will be used up on that when the little one comes along.

bringbackHalifax Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 If Wells and Riss stay at Edinburgh, only Richie, Klindt and Nick Morris left out of top riders from last year assuming Barker and Wright at Redcar, Cook will be announced at Glasgow. only Birmingham and Newcastle could take them and maybe Leicester ( not sure but thought Richie would be with his ex boss ) not many options left so maybe the 2 pointer bit may not be an option time will tell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly was on the Worky thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that Championship would simply be one commitment too many for Nic this year — he didn’t have a Premiership club when signing for Workington and upon joining Poole found the logistics tough. Rode more than a hundred meetings last season. Assuming he gets a top-flight spot then I can’t see him riding second-tier in 2019, certainly not a full season.
