Najjer 2,872 Posted January 29, 2013 Was he not injured when he rode for you causing his form to dip No, he was fully fit until he crashed at Scunthorpe and broke his wrist. Not sure of the exact figures but up until then he couldn't of been averaging much more than 6 for us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brooksy 120 Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) Was he not injured when he rode for you causing his form to dip I think he was physically fit when he came to us, but mentally I don't think he had quite recovered from probably one big crash too many. Certainly not as hard a first bend rider as before. Edited January 29, 2013 by Barney Rebel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

waco 1,026 Posted January 30, 2013 For any team looking for a 3 pointer they could take a look at Ben Morley he has invested heavily in a new engine and obtained an average with bonus points of around 4 .30 when riding for the Rockets last season... I know he is very keen to ride in the Premier League this season and will not be adversely effected by date clashes Any promoter wishing to contact Ben who will give 110% for them and can be contacted on email - Benjaminmorley19@hotmail.co.uk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know he is very keen to ride in the Premier League this season and will not be adversely effected by date clashes Any promoter wishing to contact Ben who will give 110% for them and can be contacted on email - Benjaminmorley19@hotmail.co.uk Good post there Waco. As you said Ben always gives 100% & is always on the pace giving all his opponents a good race. I remember Ben taking the noticeable scalps of Leicester's Kauko Niemenen & Mickael Karlsson when scoring 6 + 1 during the meeting at Rye House in August. Ben was also very unlucky not to claim the Bronze helmet at the end of the season when clearly leading Ashley Birks, only for machine trouble on the 3rd lap to deny him the win. He also rode well in the end of season Premier League play off for Newcastle against Somerset on a very greasy track beating Alex Davies & James Wright in the process. Hopefully promoters at a loose end will look to Ben if they need cover for anyone who may be unfortunately curtailed by injury. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

foamfence 2,917 Posted February 13, 2013 You can add Robert Branford to the list ,after getting through his first meeting well he's trim and fitter than ever and keen to head back over if something comes up. Chopper So how come you were mouthing off about him being finished with Speedway recently? Anyway it'll add a bit to the Redcar coffers if someone wants to hire him. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Willowman 212 Posted February 13, 2013 Shergar PARKED in the car park. Shergar was a horse, not a bloody car... Well he would be PARKED up if he was in a horse box, otherwise he would just be aimlessly wondering about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikebaker 199 Posted February 13, 2013 Would of thought Taylor Poole would of got fixed up. A nightmare 2012, coming back to early from a nasty injury in the Witches 1st meeting. Was expected to replace the under performing Doolan. Last years Aussie under 21 champion, and no starting team place for 2013. Am i correct, in that Taylor is a Peterborough asset.

A victim of his rolling average perhaps. Averaged under 5 on his return(understandably) yet has 5.99 against his name. It is constantly said the key is to find improvers and whilst Tay is more than capable he is at this point it seems seen as a risk. And yes he is a Boro asset.
