Relies on Tofty really upping it to back Ryan. Hes very able to do that. I might take Conor Mountain over Anders Rowe. Thing I notice is that AR can start the season well then dip a bit or even end up released by his club ? Suppose now is the time for him to push on similar to Mountain. Lambos a popular rider committed and Scunny through and through. On his EWR prowess yes, but on his away scores maybe not ? I think neither of us are a million miles off points limit depending.

scunny1 Posted November 10, 2022 Report Share Posted November 10, 2022 At the last after race meeting in the club house, Anders Rowe when asked if he was coming back next year gave a very negative answer. Can't see him in Scorpion colours in 2023. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric i Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 Can't say I am thrilled at the signing. Joe's past scores at EWR......... 0, 0, 1, 6, 1, 3. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends who the other reserve is? Strong number 6 and as long as Joe beats the opposition no7 over the meeting, surely job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expected to do well in heat 2 & pick up the odd point elsewhere but 3 x 0's & you're gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo he could be a signing there hoping tht has a good jump on his average so will do more than beating opposite no7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Joe could beat a reserve in heat 2, followed by two lasts when he doesn't meet a reserve, then dropped from his last ride! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Joe could beat a reserve in heat 2, followed by two lasts when he doesn't meet a reserve, then dropped from his last ride! You could be forgiven for thinking this way. However, there have been flashes of the "old Joe" (e.g. at Poole in the first leg of the play off final). 18 months ago, you'd have said he was ahead of Dan. Clearly Dan has pushed on since then, but I don't think Joe has lost the ability to succeed. As we've seen numerous times before, there have bunch of factors that have knocked his confidence. A change of track and maybe the absence of the obvious and constant comparison with his brother might just do him the world of good. I, for one, wish Joe every success next year. 18 hours ago, szkocjasid said: As his average shot up towards the end of the season, I don't think Rowe can afford to be picky about where he rides! Anders clearly has a lot of potential. But he has to realise that you have to serve your apprenticeship. In order to move on, there is a lot to learn and not just on track. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerson Posted November 14, 2022 Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 Am I wrong? I thought Joe would be number 6 if teams still require a rising star or does he qualify as a rising star? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerson Posted November 14, 2022 Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 Surely Poole and Leicester have proven that you need 3 top heat leaders so I would start building the top 3 and work from there. Douglas a definite but Allen and Aarnio not good enough. I would like Howarth and Ellis if available. Talk on other sites is that points will go down to try and stop doubling up which would scupper everything team building wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen and MPT works for me as heat leader trio. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
