eaglesno1 Posted September 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 Newman and Kerr announce (as long as there are no drastic changes made at the AGM) that they have both agreed a deal with Eastbourne for next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hackett Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 Good to hear Lewi Kerr and Newman will return. Kerr has been excellent all season and scored solidly all season. Certainly a fans favourite. Newman has offered stability to the team and scored steadily and improved meeting by meeting. This season the Eagles got the make up of the team wrong with 3 reserves and a too top heavy. This is a decent start for 2020 with no doubt Tom Brennan to follow.

Hunters Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 I have been thinking of next year's team for a while and came up with Wood and Bowtell at reserve and Brennan and Newman as second strings. The big question for me was No 1. Kennett may be local but I would go for Lawson. Signing Kerr rather restricts options for me as those six will be around 33.5 points and unless the limit is increased not leave enough for the final heat leader. Of course they could sacrifice Wood for Edwards which might let BWD back. The important thing is to get a more balanced side next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruckerroo Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 i was thinking wood/ edwards at bottom, newman/ brennan / kerr ( hopefully they might give brennan a bit of a reduction) , prefer lawson to kennett all day long and one other. The no2 position is very important and next season hopefully kyle or tom might be in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityrebel Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 I can see the points limit being reduced next season, to accommodate teams potentially moving up, in both leagues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sings4Speedway Posted September 30, 2019 Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 I love Lewi Kerr, tough as nails and a nice bloke so glad to see him fixed up anywhere and think he will improve further next year. Newman offers value on an average year on year but somehow always seems to finish on almost the same number and doesn't really offer any level of improvement. Brennan will be back but the rest seems unlikely, be daft to give Bowtell or Wood another go and not sure the value is in either Kennett or Lawson. So would be expecting something like 1. TBC 2. Nichol 3.Brennan 4.Newman 5.Kerr 6.Spiller 7.Edwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWC Posted October 4, 2019 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 If Kennett isn’t included might then be lost to the sport and that is not good. The points limit needs to be reduced as it’s causing too many youngsters to struggle and reduce ‘doubling up’. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, before he received his ban it was clear that he was riding with an injury, on the Eagles' northern tour and at the home meeting the following week, he didn't look comfortable on the bike. During and after that is when he missed meetings for the IOW (because he wasn't fully fit) and therefore got the ban. It was said that he had a reoccurring injury from a crash earlier in the season and this is why he got the ban because it wasn't a 'new' injury, so I don't think it was a crap attitude, he just needed time to recover. Georgie is still very popular at Eastbourne, over the whole season he has been the most entertaining rider at home. I, along with a lot of other Eagles fans, would be disappointed not to see him included next year. If he could convert some of his home form to away meetings next year he could be a very useful rider (especially if he starts at reserve).
