Hard rider, good gater and not frightened to mix it. Really pleased for him to get another chance and I hope he takes it. You have ask why he is still at the level he is though.There are other riders in the NDL with the same CV.IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinks he's better rider than he is. Kicked up when we released him for Connor last year. Funnily enough he won't on to get chucked by Plymouth too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin bass Posted June 9, 2022 Report Share Posted June 9, 2022 Jack Smith may well be a heat leader in the National League and he should be able to score a few more points then George but you can't compare him to other heat leaders in that League, he won't score the points that Edwards, Jenkins and the Thompson twins will score that's for sure. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite happy to be proved wrong and I wish Smith all the best, but there is nothing, from his previous attempts at Championship speedway, that would suggest he is the answer to Newcastle`s problems. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruffdiamond Posted June 9, 2022 Report Share Posted June 9, 2022 Not really sure what to make of the change?,,, but it's a change, that was 'promised/mentioned' at the last home meeting. A wouldn't bet against BWD being next on the departure list. Just my opinion tho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boro Bare Posted June 9, 2022 Report Share Posted June 9, 2022 The fact that Smith has been signed suggests that’s the only change in the pipeline. Even if a top rider becomes available it doesn’t make sense to drop BWD. The team is that far below the points limit that only the weakest rider will need to be replaced ……. which is Smith. So unless George has asked to be dropped why sign Smith just to drop him straight away? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamond geezer Posted June 9, 2022 Report Share Posted June 9, 2022 28 minutes ago, phillipsr said: Then why is the track consistently rubbishe There are two things that make a track. 1) Good track curator 2) Dirt and machinery to build a track. if 1 isn’t the problem, suspect it’s 2. Which aligns with the photos we seen the other week from Glasgow of a track wore down to concrete 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
