On the 15th November Martin Philips stated that riders would be announced very soon. I realise things don't always go to plan but a bit communication with the supporters now and then wouldn't go a miss. This is what peeded many of us off last season. What if there is nothing to report though? Not that I’m trying to stick up for the management but if there is no news you can’t come out and report news. I’m sure we will be in talks with riders like other clubs and were not the only club who hasn’t signed anyone yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the silence last season? I do, granted the team wasn’t the best on paper last season but it didn’t turn out too bad did it? There is still loads of riders available I’m pretty confident we will have a competitive team once again I mean look at Edinburgh for example they had Wells, Riss & R Worrall I’d be very surprised if they went with 2 of either of them. I’m sure we will be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually that's not what he said at all. (read the website). What he said was ""We anticipate we're not that far from releasing a name or two relatively soon, and when we do I feel it will be a solid start to team building. Compared to last season 'relatively soon' gives him about a month. I would think at least two or three have probably agreed contracts. However, Newcastle are not in the habit of announcing riders until contracts are signed, sealed, and delivered. In February, Newcastle had a dane (named after a famous ghost) signed and sealed, only for him to change his mind before the contract was delivered. It was the rider who caused you to be pee'ed off by changing his mind rather than the club. It wouldn't be the first time the club have announced the entire team in one go (at the xmas do for example).

toontrader Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 To be fair, it makes sense to wait until moneybags Glasgow and Somerset have sorted their teams and the remaining riders will realise they have to ride for realistic money and not play teams off against the big twos deals 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know for a fact that one top rider was offered terms, only for him to sign for someone else so top riders are being spoken to. I think toontrader is spot on with his post above. Let the money clubs outbid others with silly money, and the other riders will know they aren't going there, so they might think they need to get signing for someone. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
