Well based on the final NL Green Sheets for 2018 , Ruddick was 6.67 compared to Glasgow's Joe Lawlor on 6.61 I realise that averages can be misleading, but unless you were watching Ruddick riding everywhere, week in, week out, rather than trust your assumption, I'll wait & see how he actually does. Certainly HalifaxTiger on this forum rates him and he probably attended more 2018 UK domestic meetings than anyone else on the BSF.

I can safely say you have the worst rider by far in the league is he related to the owners or something ? He is the same standard as a lot of the reserves in the league next next season,I’m quite sure he will give it his best shot and wish him well.To say he will will be the worst rider in the league is very disrespectful he did not create this situation.There a few 2 pointers who will find his home track a challenge to say the least. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However we do have a decent track record of improving riders once in the Monarchs family. Here’s hoping we do so again. 39 minutes ago, Mr Blobby said: Go on then tell us how he’ll be the worst rider in the league.

Honestly First met Luke a few years back now when my daughter was teaching at his school in Berwick and I used to chat to him at Newcastle when he came down on his free Sundays to watch. He is a great kid who is "keen as mustard" and wants to do well and he will be well looked after up at Armadale and I hope he takes this opportunity with both hands and makes a good go of it. After all he deserves the chance and he will not be overawed by the step up and his attitude is spot on. If he puts 1 point on his average next year he will have upped it by 50% so you need to look at what you expect him to achieve because if he does end up on a 3 by the end of next year I will guarantee that no other rider in the Edinburgh team will have upped there average by that amount as its all about perspective If he can get dialled into the Edinburgh track he will be okay, as has been pointed out there is a good home track advantage up there and he will get well looked after with all the help needed for him to improve. Good luck to him for next year and stay safe, and all he has to do; to look for inspiration; is look at how Kyle Bickley did last year; he had a hard time at the start of last season, persevered, and by the end of the year didn't want the season to finish, so let Brummie matey boy "knock" as hard as he wants, if you get stuck in and work hard you end up proving the detractors wrong. I for one will be rooting for him Go for it Bonnie Lad Regards THJ Edited December 14, 2018 by TotallyHonestJohn missed out key word 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mac101 Posted December 14, 2018 Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 (edited) Having watched Luke every NL meeting this season he will do ok had good meeting beating heatleaders then could struggle against reserves and depending what the tracks like if grippy like some meetings this year then he might struggle but l think the Somerset reserves are the least experienced and weakest and wouldn’t say luke was any better than the Glasgow reserves joes ave is only low because his equipment let him down a good few times this season so will need to get that sorted for next season and if chessals comes back fit he will be better than most 2 pointers Edited December 14, 2018 by mac101 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrybiggen Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 (edited) Geez I’d be a bit concerned having sedgman come ride for you guys next year scoring 0 in first round on aus championship more interested in wearing fancy suits than concentrating on job at hand, even last night he was useless and that was at his home track where he has probably done a million laps Edited January 5, 2019 by Barrybiggen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
