builderbob 44 Posted December 9, 2012 they only need a super 3 pointer to make that team a top team Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vog 200 Posted December 9, 2012 So,Kyle Hughes makes it 4 on a 6.12. Didn't see that one coming,but if his head and kit are right,he is a 9 point rider. Could be a fantastic signing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greyhoundp 990 Posted December 9, 2012 Kyle a good rider, bags of ability, not so sure its his head, probably more down to finances. just to say, he is one i wouldnt have minded seing in heathens colours, especially on that average, a snip. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Derek 613 18 Posted December 10, 2012 (edited) I agree vog he could get up to a 9 average. But he as that average for a reason dont he! He does could that be he just did not get on with the IOW circuit? Maybe finance could also have something to do with it as someone has already said Edited December 10, 2012 by Derek 613 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heathen1984 139 Posted December 10, 2012 Yeh maybe so but im just saying he does have that aveage gor a reason. I think he is a good signing thou Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
21st century heathen 220 Posted December 10, 2012 I'd half guessed Hughes was heading for Stoke from a couple of things I'd heard. He should make an absolute mockery of his start average. Even if Smart finds it tough to get back into the groove and average over 9 I think a slight dip by him will be more than offset by Hughes recovery to something like what he's capable off. Priest will do a decent enough job in the middle order and just keeps the points ticking over. Decent start to team building but there are slight question marks over Smart after the best part of two years out and whether Reade can kick on or just consolidate.

Ommer Mon 381 Posted December 10, 2012 Cracking signing - Kyle Hughes. I do have my doubts about Smartie hitting the ground running with his 9.5 average though. I do wish him well however. He did a cracking job for Dudley and deserves a good run following his injuries. Good luck Lee. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChubbyChesgire 9 Posted December 10, 2012 Looking good - if we can get Liam Carr for 3.61 - leaves 7.32 for the last two - which should give us some options. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Islander15 1,062 Posted December 10, 2012 Looking good - if we can get Liam Carr for 3.61 - leaves 7.32 for the last two - which should give us some options. Who is there though that has a average below 4.32 and isn't a 3 pointer? Dan Stoneman is back at Smallbrook, I expect Ryan Blacklock to stop at Buxton, Chris Widman, Richard Andrews, and the only other rider I can think of is Tom Hill.

Wouldnt be at all surprised to see Malcolm come up with another rider, from the not to distant past, who may be wanting to give it one last effort, Luke Chessell, dont know if his 4+ average is to high.

torpointfanatic22 268 Posted December 10, 2012 Yeh maybe so but im just saying he does have that aveage gor a reason. I think he is a good signing thou Kyle's had a massive amount going on behind the scenes of which it wouldn't be right to splash on here over the past 18 months not to mention his injuries. If he is back to his old self and is fully committed he could easily be Stoke's number one. Great signing and I wish him and the other former Plymouth riders all the best.

OdsalBoy 181 Posted December 11, 2012 Young Bollards should definitely be given a go on a 3.00, he could easily achieve a 5.00 or higher. Suprised he hasnt been snapped up yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
