hagonshocker Posted June 6, 2021 Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 Would had made far more sense if Bridger had gone championship...not sure who he or Lynn thought they were kidding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After watching Proctor last night at Berwick, where he was very poor, I don't blame you. As for Bridger, who`s not surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunce Posted June 6, 2021 Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 15 minutes ago, Greg said: Lewis has asked for time out not retired. Its all very strange. He hadn't ridden for several years, decides to make a "comeback" spends lots of money on new bikes, goes through all the pre-season build up and practice, has a couple of matches where he did score some points then wants "time out" I must admit I was very sceptical when his name was announced in the team, but he seemed enthusiastic enough, so give the lad a chance I thought? However that didn't last long and I doubt he will ever be back in the Stars colours again and I suspect other promoters would also be very wary of signing him now. Shame really as on his day he could be an exciting rider to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bald Bloke Posted June 6, 2021 Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 I said after the Wolves meeting, i can't see Lewis lasting long for one reason or another. Hope he's ok though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArthurRudge Posted June 6, 2021 Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 What a surprise I said this when Bridger was announced, waste of space wonder if whoever backed him pulled out so time wasted all around I doubt any club would take him seriously again built a rod for his own back I am afraid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted June 6, 2021 Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 Like Cook this is a real shame as he is far more talented than his average suggests. But once again if his head isn’t in the right place then best to step down. A Championship spot might be a better move. As someone has said, get a solid option in Proctor’s place and the team looks a lot better than a couple of weeks ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marko Posted June 6, 2021 Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 Always seems like rinse and repeat with Lewis, maybe he believed his own hype too much when he was young and still has trouble accepting he is a decent rider but not much more than that. Always put the effort in but also maybe guilty of over trying and fighting the bike rather than riding it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went from 1st to last in a race he gated at Ippo. At the moment his GSA is 4.20. Over the first 3 meetings so far he has averaged 2.93. I don't know what points we have to play with after Wells. Edit.. I've had a look. According to Speedway GB site, the following are the current GSA's Riss 6.65 TJ 6.18 Lawson 5.64 Kerr 5.53 Ty 4.20 Wells 4.44 ( his 2019 ave for BV) Not sure if thats what they will go on. So 32.64 if my maths are correct. Leaving us 2.86 under the 35.5 limit. So if i'm right, at the moment we can replace Ty with a rider up to 7.06. (Cookie is 0.53 over at the moment) Maybe time to get ruthless if we want to stand a chance of ever winning anything.

ColeTrickle Posted June 6, 2021 Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 Having made some positive changes, I hope there is still one more to come. Proctor looking so poor atm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put on here somewhere I'm sure we could and should have had a top 5 of Cook,Riss,LawsonJorgensen,Kerr and we would have had Bridger and Mountain/Shanes at reserve.I know we wouldn't see the future that Cook and Bridger were going to go but it seems to me now that the management are/were moving in that direction.They need to answer why this team wasn't put forward in the first place.

marko Posted June 6, 2021 Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 Trouble with having six team league and play offs, you would have to be really desperate to make sure you do not finish in the bottom two places, if it was a 10 team league then getting in the top four is a much bigger ask and a promoter is likely to risk paying out on a big gun to help the team in the hope it would pay off, all things being even you have a 68% chance of getting in the top four anyway. Six clubs, what's the point? you only need to be better than just two teams in the whole league and your in the play offs, putting it like that, its even more farcical.

It's alright having that much to play with,,, but I don't think there are any riders anywhere near that average available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
