Delighted with the Borke signing.

IMO Berwick needs to move on and away from Jye Etheridge and Etheridge from Berwick for the good of club and rider.

 

Absolutely agree!!!! He's a liability to the club and they should stay well clear!!!

Sam Hagon could be an option considering he's riding for Stewart Dickson's Lions side in 2025.

Haha, what’s the chances of Hodder returning? You’s stuck by him last season when he struggled maybe he could show a bit of loyalty in return?

He’s away according to some.I tend to agree with them

That was also 8 years ago, riders improve/decline over time, experience and age have a lot to do with it.

Statistics from as long ago as that are absolutely meaningless imo, you could also pull up his stats from 2022 where he finished the season with a 6.29 average and say he’s great value at 4.98.

It’s just cherry picking stats to suit your agenda, I absolutely agree it’s time to move on for both parties but it’s a very odd way to frame it using his pre Berwick stats from nearly a decade ago.

I get we both think he should move on I just don’t understand why his pre Berwick form and him not being a world beater as you say in 2016 is relevant to 2024 or 2025? That is the part that confuses me.

Steve Worrall averaged 3.00 in 2013 and was dropped by both Newcastle and Redcar but it’s completely irrelevant now isn’t it?

I would be moving on because he was poor in 2024 not because of the rider he was when he first arrived in this country.

Imo Sam Hagon needs to find a team where he starts at reserve as in the main body he would be very vulnerable,I would have suggested Plymouth but he was awful there for Poole.

Yeah seen he’s being linked with possibly Glasgow, in his defence though he’s had a season at this level now so should improve.

Think he will benefit away from Shielfield.

Having already signed for Oxford I`m guessing Glasgow might find a hurdle or two to jump if they want him.

Apparently things have changed according to the Oxford thread but who knows.

Don't think he'll be able to on his average?

I have to agree, the fact Berwick kept him all season when he averaged below the minimum 2, but he's (rumoured to be) leaving for Glasgow, would leave a shout taste in my mouth if I was a Berwick fan.

Obviously we don't know what goes on behind the scenes, perhaps Berwick couldn't guarantee him a place so he looked elsewhere?
