I don’t think anyone hates him as such he is a steady Eddie type rider and will always chip in with important points. It is and it’s just my opinion he replaced a box office rider in Basso and let’s be honest who would you rather watch. unfortunately diluting the product has ensured riders like Basso had too move onto pastures new.

He's been better than people like to give him credit for all season, he's just a bit unloved because he's a bit dull, combined with replacing Basso. Not really his fault. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't really see why replacing Jye in Ht 13 is an issue Hagon was riding well. Hagon was much more likely to win ht 14 than ht 13, so Garrad should've taken his 3rd ride in place of Etheridge, leaving Hagon in 14. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted June 21 Report Share Posted June 21 52 minutes ago, Noelinho said: Well, the rules aren't completely in agreement on this, just as they aren't on protected heats, because in both cases, the rule is stated twice, but differently. In this case, it says: But it also says: Garrad's ride was not programmed (but the second mention of this rule says that's irrelevant, it resulted in disqualification, and he was not replaced. The rule does not specify this ride should be treated on account of the rider already replacing a disqualified rider. The second mention of the rule doesn't mention RS rides, so although it doesn't specifically include them, it also doesn't preclude them. Why is the rulebook so confusing?

And now Basso, is a 9.86 to set foot in the championship thanks to the extremely ill thought x1.5 rule . Worrall is gate and gone, you saw that tonight, but if he isn't away from the gates you can guarantee he isn't going to pass. With all the "replace this rider replace that rider" I just don't see letting Worrall go benefits us at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We like to think we are, but we are hopelessly wrong. It’s not a speedway thing, it’s a cultural feature. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was the team manager I would be getting Bomber to have a word with Riss at there next Spires meeting, with our team points limit so far under and Flint’s average this could be doable.

Riss for Leon is a straight swap with 0.74 left over and not counting any 2.5% Brit discount. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it’s a no brainier and we need to be ruthless. Let’s be honest Leon has never rode our track well and continues to not ride it well even as a home rider , it’s just one of those matches that aren’t suited. Signing Riss would strengthen us significantly home and away. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd put max Perry/Jody Scott/any 2 pointer in at 7, to allow a 5 pointer in for Starke, but we don't make the decisions it's down to the people with the cheque books.

It’s not just that he isn’t going to pass that’s annoying …….he doesn’t even make up any ground when behind. Yet, when he’s in front, he can stretch out a lead. Frustrating to watch but as said, can bang in important points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have picked it up wrongly though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting I’m sure our owners will be as frustrated as we all are with how inconsistent we are just now . I am sure they will be exploring how and who they strengthen with. Michael Max has history at uncovering low averaged high profile Russians sorry meant overseas riders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
