I personally like Hume as a rider but the one thing I've noticed when you watch him is he seems to lock the bike up loads through the corners 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think be any chance of KJP. More chance of one of the Knudsen brothers or a certain Mr Bowes jnr I'd have thought. Also not sure our promotion want to be taking the risks on untried foreign riders. In a reverse from what used to happen we let other clubs take the risk then sign them once proven can cut it in the UK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for every Josh G we had a Michael penfold. For every Nick Morris there was a Peter juul. We'll see but I'd take a chance our promotion looking at vissing and Starkey over any untried foreigners on a 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poole had Klindt and Freddie Jakobsen recommending Basso. And there are a few people in Aussie letting Matt know about any Aussies coming through to consider. So if you go for untried riders definitely need some spies out! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owned the club for a year but his name escapes me. We've had good sources in Oz since Lyons and Bowes signed but some have been an horrific flop. Think lyonsy worked with Connor how we got wind of him come to think of it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not so vocal when they've done it themselves I don't really have a problem with it, riders are self employed tradesmen only ever under contract for eight months at a time, if they can get themselves sorted for the next year nice and early then good for them. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
