Piper or Complin is the dilemma He is the real deal. I saw him at the back end of last year and was impressed. His showing for the Lion Cubs have been outstanding at times. To beat Dan Thompson in recent times has been even more impressive given Dan's improvement since leaving the Lions. I'm not expecting miracles from Ashton, this year, stepping up into the Championship. But he will surprise a few, for sure. I wish he was riding in my team next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely someone like Jack Smith for example would be a major upgrade. When Borke was introduced on 9th June together with Wood, the impression was that DW would be a temporary replacement until a more promising 2 pointer could be recruited. Since then the likes of Sam Hagon & Luke Harrison were recruited later by Birmingham & Redcar respectively, and 2 months on we are still no further forward in bringing in a competitive number seven. It's unfair on Dayle Wood who is out his depth in the Championship and also short changing Monarchs fans knowing their seventh rider will trail in last in his required three match heats. I wonder how much effort has been made since 9th June to find better or are the Promotion content to go with this cheaper local option for the rest of 2023?

Can't be Jack Smith he's got a 3.00 average. Should sign Ashton Boughen when he turns 16. 49 minutes ago, Mr Blobby said: I’m sure Boughen has plenty of offers as he turns 16 in a few days and I’m sure he’ll go the highest bidder, if riding in Scotland won’t be us. 47 minutes ago, bringbackHalifax said: Ashton Boughen off to Glasgow with a very nice signing on fee that will dwarf anything any number one has received this season….. and he will be reserve. Piper or Complin is the dilema I've read multiple times on here that Boughen will be going to Glasgow, but can't see how he will fit in their team? I got the impression Pijper's place was secure (long term plan) and can't see them dropping a 3.6 rider for Boughen. Also is Boughen that much better than Pijper? They have similar averages in the NL. If Pijper was dropped (& still on a 2.00 ave) I'm sure Edinburgh would snap him up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Kinsley must be the best 2.00 left, they could also sign Harrison though, he's only guesting for Redcar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be bent. Is the engine ok? So what's being said is Cook only has one decent bike. Worrying for Edinburgh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think he was getting on his back more like expressing his opinion. One that I agree with he may well come back to form and I hope he does, signs that he will aren’t great though. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Policia Alba are the most professional force in the Uk, 2 hour tea breaks and 4 hour Lunch breaks is a hard case to crack in an 8 hour day. Watch Scot Squad it is nearer the truth of the matter than we think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was under impression he was only a ‘stopgap few weeks signing’ Would rather a young GB rider was given the spot. One of the weakest riders ever toDon the blue and gold. Re Cookie - give the guy a break. He was in pieces last week. Taken a lot out him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
