mossy666 Posted November 18, 2021 Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 (edited) He certainly looked at home on a bike,just never really had pace. Who do we think will reserve with him. I think someone like Zain’s Kennedy then if we re-sign lambo they can swop n change. Edited November 18, 2021 by mossy666 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted November 18, 2021 Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 Kinsley willl score some useful points at home on a low average but predictably will be poor away. It’s not too much of an issue though seeing as it looks like Rob is setting up to win home meetings and realistically if there’s a decent reserve next to him, he’ll only take 3 rides at away meetings anyway. So helps you to win at home and his score is nearly irrelevant away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted November 18, 2021 Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 Good signing, likeable lad, goes well round Scunny. If the team is more or less as rumoured, the only question mark left is whether its Aarnio or A.N.Other for 3rd heat leader spot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could also be a matter of riding order as, even though the announcement says he is no7, I would have him at 6 with ....... at no 7(strongest reserve) for the benefit of the team.

If thats the team then 4/7 that were in my stab at the line-up are there. Douglas, Allen, Palin & Kennedy. Has anyone any idea what average Jordan Palin is on ? On the Green Sheets just says "fifth rider in the team" ? Does he have an official average for team purposes or does he keep Rising Star Ave from 2021 - but has to ride as the 5th rider (lets say his ave is 5.00+) I can see where Robs going with that team as Palin; Lambert & Kennedy could all interchange partner Kinsley at reserve. But to be fair I think it lacks a real third heat leader if Aarnio is back ? Lets assume Poole have King , Lawson & Steve Worrall . .I would not be confident we would win the big heats ? Even Oxford with Nicholls, Batch and Ellis (rumoured) would have the whip hand. Leicester set the bar for team construct in recent season and hate to say it but with this team Robs probably letting heart rule head again. Tommy Jorgensen would be far better bet than Tero Aarnio home or away. I always think Aarnio is 2-3 bad shows from us making a change ?. Then there was the visa issue last season ?. Great that we would have our own version of "the Turbo Twins" at the top end. Also great if the others can "step up" to back them but I'm thinking that theres too much inconsistency in these riders to make me think we will be pushing for the Championship medals in 2022.

eric i Posted November 18, 2021 Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 Home form should be good but not away. I can't see any riders with potential to put points on his average, its a big ask for Palin to keep putting points on his 5.69 average. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure Tommy the gun upped his price that’s why he will end up at Berwick or Redcar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends who your reserves are & who your opposition have at reserve to determine whether it's better to have your strongest reserve at 6 or 7! For example Newcastle were better off putting Freeman at 6 because he couldn't beat anybody & it gave Roynon easier rides to get more points. But with Glasgow Sedgmen or Nowak should've been strong enough to beat opposition second strings, so makes sense to put them at 6 & have Bailey at 7 to beat opposition reserves!

szkocjasid Posted November 18, 2021 Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 I'm glad for Kinsley getting a team spot, as I am for all Brits, but do feel this is the most underwhelming opening signing I can remember ever! After his scores last year, can't imagine the signing would be well appreciated! Would've been better to make him the 7th signing, if there was 3.00 left & Kinsley signed, wouldn't felt a more shrewed move! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
