strife 153 Posted October 13, 2014 Would love Adam Ellis at Panthers next year if we run. Looked very impressive at the Showground, & will only get better in my opinion. The first thing that Ellis and Worrall have both got to do is get away from their awful home EL trick-tracks. KL or Swindown would be their best options. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2ndbendbeerhut 1,781 Posted October 16, 2014 Only 3 riders come out with any credit after tonight: Cameron Heeps Ritchie Hawkins Adam Ellis These were the Witches ONLY heat winners and goes to show how poor the team is against quality riders! Also doesn't help that the team have not ridden at Foxhal for 2 weeks! Up the M1 to scotland Wouldn't bother tbh! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Super Blue 616 Posted October 17, 2014 Straight after tonight is possibly not the best time to make any judgement about 2015. Perhaps not , but now our season is effectively over maybe a little speculation won't be greeted with the disdain about dumping riders who still have a trophy to try and win . After watching the defeat against Edinburgh last night though this thread could well take some interesting twists and turns as far as opinions are concerned on who we should retain next year .

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,695 Posted October 17, 2014 Having 'the right average' is the name of the game for a speedway rider so Rohan and Morten must be under pressure for their place even without the doubts of many as to their racing abilities. Rohan you could argue can have done little more improving by a point each year and earning the No 1 slot but has failed to convince at crucial times and of course their was 'motivationgate' this year.Any room for improvement 50/50 Morten also has had his best year and at times looked set to produce a purple season rather than just a purple patch within it. Unfotunately the memory will be the reversion to the 'old Morten' in the last few weeks just when wedodnt need it. A big shame as overall he has been great value. Any room for improvement - 50/50 Looking at the rest. Richie W - will been classed as a disappointment but has shown enough for me to justify why he is touted for a good future. A tough year but one that if he learns and moves on from will have been a worthwhile experience in the long run. Any room for improvement 100% yes. Cam - the biggest down side of 2014. Suffered much more with his wrist injury early on than was ever really disclosed but still far below where he shouldve been even given that. Showed in the 2nd half of the season just why he is popular with the fans with some breathtaking passes and scores much in line with expectations. Any room for improvement 100% yes. Gino - the star of 2014. Excellent at home and competitive away for a debut season. Such a shame that the season ended with man and machine in far from tip top shape. A vibrant character that can help a promotion attract and keep new fans IMO. Any room for improvement 100% yes Ritchie H - a solid season on and off track. Proved to be good captain material which also semed to have a positive effect on him. Hard charger who always gives it everthing. The type of rider that is the backbone of the PL. Any room for improvement 50/50 Adam - didnt make the progress that was hoped for but certainly did make progress. Came through a real tough patch in the middle of the season to show the talent is definitely there. Capable of being next years Stevie Worrall. Any room for improvement 100% Im as disappointed as anyone with just missing out again but this team was a bloody good team. Comfotably the 3rd best in the league which is better than 10 others! As for 2015 I think we will see the core of the side retained and depends on the averages as to who will fit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bash 496 Posted October 17, 2014 Maybe we should go along the lines of:- Sam Masters 8.22 Cam Heeps 5.38 Justin Sedgmen 7.27 Gino Manzares 6.02 Richie Worrall 7.32 Ritchie Hawkins 5.27 James Sarjeant 3.00 42.48 or Danny King 8.84 Cam Heeps 5.38 Taylor Poole 6.05 Gino Manzares 6.02 Richie Worrall 7.32 Adam Ellis 4.67 Nico Covatti 4.21 42.49 Alternatively bring in some fresh blood like Max Ruml, Michael Haertel or a young Aussie.

TheScotsman 2,482 Posted October 17, 2014 Well you have to shed a couple of points from this season's averages to get down to the points limit, unless that limit changes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
