Completely lost form and confidence last few seasons he rode and from memory lots of shoulder issues. I'm assuming he's living in UK and not riding in Oz, so whilst a cheap option it's hard to get enthused. Can understand saving the pennies but I wonder how many matches he will actually ride in. Expand Ty lives in Sheffield he is as far as I am aware living with his girlfriend Chelsea the daughter of Kelly Moran. He has been working for the Bates family.

Diamonds85 Posted March 6, 2023 Report Share Posted March 6, 2023 People may not be impressed with this signing, but if you look at the other reserves in the league he's better than most (Not Zaine Kennedy, Jacob Hook, arguably Lee Complin, Kyle Newman, Jason Edwards, Joe Thompson perhaps), and if he can capture ANY sort of form should be pushing the likes of Alfie for that main body position again. I still think Birmingham's team looks the weakest in the league however... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Think Proctor is the best 4.00 rider available tbh, he averaged 4.55 (5.52) in 2022, which is far better than Hook 2.78 (3.44) for example! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted March 6, 2023 Report Share Posted March 6, 2023 I think Proctor is a sensible choice, especially riding at reserve. Although his form in the French meeting, would put me off a little. But if the option was Proctor who lives over here vs Manzares who would have to be flown from Sweden for each match, I'd 100% be going for Ty.

GiveusaB Posted March 7, 2023 Report Share Posted March 7, 2023 If and its a big IF...he lasts the season....then he will most likely be the only rider that improves his average (marginally...) Personally, I think it's a replacement for Tate Zische....just my thoughts. I think a Kangeroo should be our new mascot! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Tend to agree, given his social media post saying thanks for making it happen. Reading between the lines it feels pretty last minute and the outing in France was to test his appetite for the sport again. Has been a big if with him over the last few years, not sure he's completed more than one heat in a rain off for about 10 years at PB but he was always pretty handy around there. On paper he should be the pick of the 4 and under riders in the league bar Edwards, really hope he is but I just can't see it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Proctor is a big gamble for sure, could bomb as his per his last few "comebacks" or just as likely turn out a 7 to 8 point average with the right "mindset".
