Signing Jorgensen on a falsely high average was the mistake. Isn't that what Peter Waite did way back when with ryml, franc and makovsky?

The only way to excuse that would be, 1) there were no 9.5 riders available to lead the team or 2) there were no 7.5 riders available leaving more room at the bottom end?

Gary Flint had TJ lined up early doors, whilst trying to tie down Bomber to join him, before hearing about Rory and preferring that option, so he says. This is what we’re dealing with, he genuinely wanted TJ and reiterated his average wasn’t false and he’s a different rider now. He talked about it on a podcast.

Is there a possibility replacing etheridge for a HL? Although only really Ellis and batch I can think of not signed to champ While Proctor hasn't been great, I still think he's better than a 2.00 rider. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point in his career he is basically a 2.00 rider himself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starke is too high. You need to get replacement as you are losing 2 points every time you get a 2 pointer guest in for Nathan, unless they ride double their average.

szkocjasid Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 I'd go for Jacob Hook on a heartbeat. Hopefully he'll learn to ride Berwick, but he's gotta be better than any 2.00 guest for Stoneman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
