Perhaps they do their homework and are able to provide an environment where riders improve and flourish. They didn't have to do much homework to know Jensen would improve a lot! As for Perks he has had some indifferent seasons but always a capable rider but really kicked on last season and good luck to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skidder1 Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 Quick question - is Perks definitely at reserve? Just asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not certainly looks a very long tail, perhaps a lot of changes throughout the season until they find another Perks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty obvious that a 4 pointer should be signed. Wells, Jeppesen or Stewart, but every chance that Rosco will go for the budget option of Stefan Nielsen.

You think it was obvious that he was going to improve to the magnitude that he did? Best do the lottery on Saturday if so.

Best do the lottery on Saturday if so. Exactly. Nobody saw that coming. He has ridden several seasons in the 2nd tier without ever looking like a huge top flight moment was in the cards. Fluke signing but still a huge one in the scheme of things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most people thought after the start he made for Glasgow that he would be a decent signing for Swindon who would improve a bit and bolster their bottom end. He went way, way beyond that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact is that Rasmus Jensen averaged over 3 points what we signed him on. However you spin it that was a great signing & homework would have been done. Rosco even said he wanted to sign him previously but averages but paid to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
65Sarge Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) So back to Swindon 2020 .............. No real idea why, but I have a sneaky feeling we may see THJ back as a Robin next year? Edited November 28, 2019 by 65Sarge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
