Hunters Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 (edited) Another blow with Lewy Kerr, Tom Brennan & Drew Kemp all out of this one. Now it is a real Banana Skin Am I right that a guest gets an additional 5% when replacing a home rider? If so then Steve Worrell looks the perfect guest for Kerr, if not then Paul Starke looks the only alternative after yesterdays meeting as there are so many Championship matches that day. Brennan is virtually irreplaceable at the moment so probably have to go r/r. Having seen Jake Knight with a No 8 on his back in the parade yesterday and then doing some laps I would imagine he is going to replace Kemp. If he is elligable why did they not use him at Scunthorpe it would have meant the difference between winning and losing I have no doubt.?.

Knight said in speedway star a while he was going to do NDL only as got a really good job and not interested in Championship unless an incredibly good offer came along. Would imagine a Guest booking on a Saturday at home track would be perfect for him. Be very surprised if he wasn't asked for Scunthorpe by Eagles management Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunters Posted June 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 Interesting conclusion but over the Tannoy Jake said he was giving it a good go this year to get into the Championship and that he was a self employed builder so he could ride when he wanted to. Or words to that effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzac Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 (edited) Jake probably couldn't justify the return on a trip to Scunthorpe, especially if he was part way through a building job, but Saturday/Sunday at his home track is a no brainer for him. As has been said assume it'll be a guest for Lewi, and r/r for Tom, if we are to win, will certainly need an all round team effort ( Kennett to up his game) and a good/reliable guest.

Assume it's up to date, but on Lewis Kerr Racing along side his x ray says he won't be fit for that meeting?

Feel sad for Tom and Drew their development over the last two years has really been hampered by things beyond their control yet still they have come on hand over fist. Fortunate however for the Eagles as there really did not seem any way they could be compensated for with the loss of Lewi as well. Would still like to see Steve Worrell as a guest but suspect now that they will go r/r giving Lawson and Brennan an extra ride along with Newman and Kemp. They could then move Brennan to No 4 and Kerr r/r No2. The Monarchs have a great top 3 particularly as Pickering seems to love Arlington but it could be a very difficult night for their bottom 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s brilliant news for Eastbourne - made my day - off to Kent v Glasgow shortly and expecting good racing - hopefully Uncle Len will be putting down more shale than in the past - no more blue grooves please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technik Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 I'd use R/R at 4. You have more options later in the meeting than 2 who is finished at Ht 10 at home & if the name an 8 I think Nathan Ablitt will get a shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also makes Brennan the third heat leader which he certainly is and gives us a final push if we need it in heat 14. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lot of teams doing this Brennan can have RR in 14 and spread his rides. Could d also have 15 like Kerr does. If you put RR at 2 who go out in heat 1? It wouldn't be as strong as Brennan.

Technik Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 I know over the years the R/R facility has been deployed at #2 for the most times. I have never been a fan of this as it is my belief that it cuts down the teams tactical options where a TS can only be used once but it can mean a rider can be used as the R/R & also as a TS if required for the facility. Kennett is the only one who can't take an R/R but if needed he could take a TS in place of Kerr (R/R). So using the facility at #3 or #4 offers better options later in the meeting than #2 who is packing up at the interval. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well another reason I would have changed order is that 3 and 4 are partners for three races which means the only time Newman can get his r/r in is heat 14 and I really don't fancy Newman and Edwards against Josh Pickering. As regards Heat 1 I would use Newman there. It is up to Kennett as No 1 to do his job and Newman should handle Greaves. You have not got to win the match in heat one and it gets rid of one of your weaker r/r's whilst the opposition are working out the track. Fun to be a team manger don't you think? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most home Teams give one of their reserves Heat1 if R/R is at 2 ,gives him the advantage to feel out the track before Ht 2.
