Diamonds85 Posted October 4, 2021 Report Share Posted October 4, 2021 I imagine Jake Allen, Simon Lambert and Jordan Palin are all pretty nailed on... Also hearing rumours of Dan Gilkes being approached. If yous can retain Adam Ellis and Thomas Jorgensen... Even if Dan Gilkes doesn't come off, looks like a typical Scunthorpe team, not bad though... Wonder if Josh Auty is gonna return? 1. Adam Ellis 2. Simon Lambert 3. Jake Allen 4. Jordan Palin 5. Thomas Jorgensen 6. Dan Gilkes 7.

I completely agree these big teams that win the leagues are brutal and have riders that are better than their average Simon probably isn’t given his average has gone up to 5.98 based off his home form Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know how it’s going to work with Palin and his average and rising starts etc however I do know that Jordan Palin and Dan Gilles are good friends and there families are also very good friends so the move would fit he also rides the EWR very well noticed he was there yesterday practicing Edited October 4, 2021 by Ryan555 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I imagine he'll be in the main body of the team. Personally I rate Dan Gilkes VERY highly and think he's one of the brightest prospects we have, I have seen him practicing a few times recently and he just keeps on getting better and better, his physical control of the bike is so natural and extraordinary, I wish we could have him up at Newcastle... Easy a 5/6 point rider next season, especially if he can get on a track he rides well, wonder how Kent will feel though if they know that Rob is after him... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumper Posted October 4, 2021 Report Share Posted October 4, 2021 (edited) Would love to see Ryan Douglas at the EWR, time after time he proves he is absolutely quality around there. Would be brilliant to have him back in a scorpions jacket. I think alot will depend on the Rising Star situation, however a team built around Douglas, Allen, Jorgensen and Palin would be great IMO. Then as it seems Lambert looks set to stay, that would leave 2 places, and probably not a lot to work with. If the rumours around Gilkes are true I would be very happy with him as a scorpion. 1. Douglas 2. Lambert 3. Allen 4. 5. Jorgensen 6. Palin 7. Wouldn't mind seeing Broc Nicol as a scorpion but doubtful the averages would work out.

Yeah agreed think it will be difficult to get Ryan back though especially with David Howe on the spanners for him who I think has fell out with Rob. Just thinking as well I do think they said that if the rising start system was going ok it would be expanded to 2 rising stars per team so that could be on the cards as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thinking as well I do think they said that if the rising start system was going ok it would be expanded to 2 rising stars per team so that could be on the cards as well I have a suspicion re rising start that might be extended to 5*. And maybe each CH team has to have 2 who can add up to no more than say 7. So maybe flint and Brennan for example become 5* and if wish to have them as such have to use a Crang or a Blair as other reserve? It's just a theory but think would encourage teams to use British riders as on potentially lower averages and doesn't make sense for riders to only be in RS system for only 1 year.

Diamonds85 Posted October 4, 2021 Report Share Posted October 4, 2021 Using this season's rules/team limits (Which I know won't be the same next year) This fits... I haven't accounted for a 2.5% reduction for Jordan and the averages aren't final, but it's interesting to see what is possible... Also, if you wanted Dan Gilkes at reserve, swap Josh for Ryan Kinsley (3.00) and then you could have up to a 3 Star reserve, which I believe Dan will be next season 1. Ryan Douglas 8.04 2. Simon Lambert 5.98 3. Jake Allen 7.72 4. Jordan Palin 5.84 5. Thomas Jorgensen 7.28 6. Josh MacDonald 4.00 7. 2 Star Reserve (Not Dan Gilkes) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can exactly remember but at a pre season meet the riders a few years someone mentioned him and he said we dont talk about him anymore maybe time will might see them happy to work together as Ryan is lethal round the EWR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted October 4, 2021 Report Share Posted October 4, 2021 I will have a go, 3 heat leaders, 2 riders improving every year in Connor and Jordan, a solid reserve and a reserve who can ride our track. All pie in the sky I know with Connor being happy at Newscastle but a team I really like 1. Adam Ellis 7.66 2. Connor Mountain 5.19 3. Jake Allen 7.72 4. Jordan Palin 5.90 5. Thomas Jorgensen 7.28 = 33.75 with no reductions for being British 6. Dan Gilkes 2* 7. Ryan Kinsley 1* (3.00 av) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillwhitewasmad Posted October 4, 2021 Report Share Posted October 4, 2021 1, ellis 2 kemp 3 allen 4 palin 5 barker 6 mountain 7 Kingsley or Gilkes no Lambert or Jorgensen for me even though both have done well this year Thomas to injury prone and Simon don't do enough away on a regular basis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tosh1218 Posted October 4, 2021 Report Share Posted October 4, 2021 I’m sure meetings between promoters up and down the land have already been taken and agreed . But with this season still running in the Premiership and championship getting towards the final playoffs there won’t be any concrete news on next seasons set ups until this seasons finals are complete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzie4388 Posted October 4, 2021 Report Share Posted October 4, 2021 Why does Kinsley always get mentioned it's clear even before his stuff got nicked his performances for Redcar he's not good enough for middle tier racing he's a NDL rider at best 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
