Endeavour Posted October 4, 2019 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 Ricky has had a difficult season with injury and struggled away from home. Try to resign him on such a low average would be tempting. Rumour mill starting already that he is heading to pastures new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty Posted October 4, 2019 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 Hang on ..... Sam Masters is currently Wolves #1 ... and is likely to get a Premiership winners medal... So it's true... there's a Scottish League & an English League after Brexit on Oct 31st. Is that what backstop means??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronScorpion Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 They have tried it before at a lower level than 8.5 & Scott Nicholls proved that if you take it to court, you WILL get your own way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soupy Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 Only if you have enough lolly in the bank to go to court, and if you put it in black and white in the rule book that would change things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me neither tbh but i think he might come back on an average of less than 5.00 which has to be a bit of a bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cj69 Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 Good start to team building. So who fills in the blanks? Heeps - Certainly became fans favorite but a top 3 with him, Sam and josh while very good leaves weaker bottom end. Wells - Rumours he is Glasgow bound but I would welcome him back and hopefully he can recover from injuries over the winter. Sarjent - Proved to be better than expected and not many tape infringements. Still undecided on him as I don't see much improvement but can be a solid no. 2 Lawson - has improved towards the end of the season (getting an engine from Sam helps). However I believe he shud have been dropped months ago and there are couple of youngsters who deserve a chance. Coles - Talent is there but prone to mistakes. Happily have him back. Luke - Was having a great first season until taking a break to recover from concussion, also be in my team for next season. So looking something like this for me. 1. Masters 2. Sargeant 3. Heeps/Wells 4.?? 5. Pickering 6. Coles 7. Ruddick That team has strong top 3 but does lack at reserves so imagine one of coles/ruddick would be picked with a senior reserve, most likely Lawson.

I have a feeling the points limit will increase at the AGM from the stupid 38.5 it was this season , will give more scope for that senior reserve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope your right. Around 40 would be better. Was good to see alot of new youngsters but it is a huge demand for them which showed in the number that took 'breaks' from the sport.

GWC Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 The league must reign in allowing riders like Masters doubling up/down. The standard is kept high with these guys in it but as mentioned the riders at the bottom are more or less fodder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endeavour Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 Heard the rumour too about Ricky going to Glasgow. If injury free next season could add 1.5 to 2 onto his average. Looks like it won’t be Edinburgh getting the advantage. Need more quality at reserve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As our gates went up when he rejoined the side compared to earlier in the season. Edinburgh haven't had the best of seasons. So by bringing Sam back, did gates go up compared to last season, or just go up from being really low ? Honest question. Also, was the increase in 'gates', due to new customer's, or returning old one's ? Edited October 9, 2019 by ruffdiamond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masters , Cook , King etc , our league would be a far poorer place without that calibre of rider 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
