phillwhitewasmad Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Come on chaps give the lad a chance maybe there were others in front of him and are further advanced in their careers but maybe just maybe they didn’t want to come to the uk or scunny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronScorpion Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Being based in Sheffield with Ryan will probably help him get accustomed with what it all entails plus they might mechanic & travel with each other when meetings allow.

Perhaps Ryan & Jake see something in Jedd List that marks him out as ready to "hit the ground running". Suppose we'll find out soon enough ? But a 17 old rooky kid just off 250s into a vital second string position in a Championship Speedway team looks a bit of "a Leap of faith" to me ? I know we have no idea how Zane Keleher would turn out if he was in ? But he's 8 years older a proven Motorcycle background and cutting it in the Aussie Championship. While Jedd is "mates" with Ryan and Jake just out of Junior racing and nowhere near the Aussie Championship ? It's not a critique it's just plain fact. Cannot help but think our "tail end" is way too long ?. If the starting 1-7 is still intact come 1st June I'll be happy to concede I was totally wrong ?

phillwhitewasmad Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Agree totally but it’s easy to invite calls when all teams are full and another 7 riders still looking for a team after the demise of Workington. I will be happy if we have 7 men standing at the end of April early season is usually carnage. Personally think most teams have a fairly long tail this year due to the points limit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

List along with Gilmore are the two after Lidsey that have been noted as the best two young riders coming through in Australia.You also have Kew, Browne, Bowes progessing nicely and i thought Mcguinness might of had a bit of interest shown in him also.Keleher is a different proposition alot older than List but in European terms no more experienced.I believe List has alot of ability and i would be giving him the whole season and see him as a longterm project.Scunny there top four i believe is very good and also the reserves should be able to mix it with the likes of Ruddick,Chessell,Phillips, Clegg ( ect) injuries allowing?? Scunny will do ok. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HGould Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 Feel sorry for Scunthorpe fans, surely as Mr Godfrey sees himself as "Mr Championship" you'd think he would be eager to be the best / up with the best of all aspects of running a CL Club, seems the opposite is the case in terms of communication, effort and outlook. Shameful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially for somebody clearly known in and around certain tracks. You may currently have a chirpy view of your local tracks but that can change very quickly.
