Depends upon whether we gets a decent bike & mechanic, or else he will be plumbing the depths of unreliability again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs to be fully equipped this season. Great to have Ricky back. Joel and Josh should kick on in 2019. Heeps and Sedgy could hold the key to our play off ambitions.

Fromafar Posted December 7, 2018 Report Share Posted December 7, 2018 Doesn’t look that great on paper but we know that means little in speedway,they need a couple to step up to the challenge IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halifaxtiger Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 Very pleased to see Luke Ruddick get a chance. I have been a fan since his early days at Mildenhall and he's improved season on season in the NL, with a near 1.5 jump last year. Its a massive leap from the NL to the Championship but there's no doubt he'll give it everything he's got. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 Very balanced looking side for the Monarchs must put them up there as favourites for the 2019 season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uluru Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 Edinburgh have always constructed solid sides, and this one seems OK. Two Aussies is a good base, with Joshie is already looking good here, his show in the NSW Title meet at Woodstock was very impressive.

I remember a couple of years ago he stood in for the visitors at no 7, and led at the first corner, and never dropped off after he had been passed. Could be a breakthrough year given this chance, and I could have fancied having him at Newcastle.

Gr8scot Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 Gutted to lose big Victor - 100% trier and a really nice lad. Good luck to him and I hope the crazy points limit allows us to have him back some time Really good to have Joel back tho’ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudtobeaBrummie Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 wow Luke ruddick 000 as he will be known .why the heck have they drafted him in he is not even a NL heat leader ? I can safely say you have the worst rider by far in the league is he related to the owners or something ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenway Bleachers Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 Luke comes from Melrose, so a local lad , and he has some experience of the dale. That will help since home advantage here can be huge. As long as he puts in the effort, and takes advantage of extra laps post meetings, all he needs to do is beat his opposite 2 pointer more often than not, and the blue and gold will embrace him, because that’s what we do. Anything more will be a bonus, but a few points in heats 2 and 4 will be job done. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke lives in Ely in Norfolk moved down there last year and don't think he rode there this year and will depend on how they set the track up next year if it was like this year really grippy he and a few of the new team will struggle Edited December 13, 2018 by mac101 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah fair enough but trust me he wont beat his opposite numbers home or away i dont think you realise how far behind the others he is ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenway Bleachers Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 I take your views, since you have been watching him more often. However we do have a decent track record of improving riders once in the Monarchs family. Here’s hoping we do so again. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
