Have to agree I’m not a fan after the runaround he gave the Club the last time.But am sure you would agree he rides Shieldfield well.

He’s apparently been signed up by a polish team. If he is riding in Poland then logistically it is highly unlikely Antti will be wearing the big C next season which would be shame. At least he is a Comets asset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelShoe Posted November 11 Report Share Posted November 11 6 hours ago, Marksman said: I thought otherwise before Friday's presentation night but given how Batch spoke I probably see him being back again next season if the limit is 40. We could end up with something like this, just a guess; 1 Troy Batchelor 8.46 2 Sam Hagon 4.73 3 Craig Cook 8.42 4 Tate Zischke 6.96 5 Antti Vuolas 6.40 6 Ben Trigger 3.00 7 Sonny Springer 2.00 39.97 I'm not sure the Championship will continue with the 2 pointers simply because not enough NDL riders who would qualify appear to have the ability at present.

Apparently been asking for a northern based mechanic, I would put tate at 2 to partner batch/Cook in 3 heats and in ht 8 possibility of 3 times 5-1 s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually like the look of that team, but would want a stronger reserve than bailey Also everyone wanting batch back, yes he did have a decent season but he also went missing in most heat 13 & 15s when be was up against the big boys Edited Monday at 10:48 PM by Midget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant say who i have added but i have 5 certs and on good authority the rest are 'Done Deals'. I'm a fan of Jordan Jenkins and think he would be a really good signing. Would love to see him and Dan Thompson in the team. Slater Lightcap at 2 is a big ask, too big in my opinion. If he was coming in at reserve then that is an easier proposition . The jury is out with me on Dan Gilkes, he has shown flashes and performed pretty well guesting for Oxford in the playoffs. Would suggest if he isn't back with the Bears then Oxford are a more likely destination than the Comets. Appeared inconsistent for the Bears last season. Personally can't see Connor Bailey making a comeback next season. Ben Trigger has a bit of potential, quite like him but there are sizeable question marks over whether he has the potential to put a point or two on his average next season. I think the Comets will want two strong reserves after suffering in this delartment for most of last season. May also look to build further on their asset base where after the success of Tate and Antti last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
