hammer1969 421 Posted May 12, 2016 I hope your right, it's not fair to the rest of the team who may not all score in double figures, but who at least get some points, to have a rider in the team who only gets a point when 3 riders finish the race. Perhaps Karger is trying but he is clearly not up to Premier League standard. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted May 12, 2016 He would struggle to score points as a reserve in the nl. He really did look like a young kid doing his first laps on a 500 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GWC 495 Posted May 12, 2016 I'm sure if Peterborough can get Cook into their team on the premise of moving their dedicated race day then Rye Must seek to replace Peter with Rob Branford - a National league rider for an overseas import. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hammer1969 421 Posted May 12, 2016 Quote from the Rye website tonight “And even though Peter (Karger) struggled on the track, he was there for the team and helping out wherever he could, which highlights the spirit in the camp and how hard everyone is trying". My answer to that is he may be a nice person, a team player and helping other riders in the pits etc. but if he can't get points on the track I'm sorry but in the best interests of the team he has to go. We were lucky tonight to finish within 2 points of Ipswich which should give us a good chance on Saturday to progress in the cup but our luck is not going to hold out forever and when it runs out supporters will start drifting away and I don't think anyone wants to see that happening. Team BMR I hope you are taking on board comments made on this website by paying supporters! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadders 4,134 Posted May 12, 2016 (edited) Thank the Lord we had Ben Morley firing at reserve tonight. Has there been a worse signing in recent memory than Peter Karger? Makes Kurt Shields look good. Even Dan Greenwood averaged more than this guy. Makes me nostalgic for Danny Maassen Edited May 12, 2016 by Shads 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,706 Posted May 13, 2016 Ben Morley looked significantly improved IMO His contribution seems likely to decide the tie overall. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ben91 1,743 Posted May 13, 2016 MPT hasn't been that good this season, not sure why he's seen as the answer. That said he'd do better than Karger! I'd go for two changes personally, Karger and another out, Branford and a rider to score some points at the top end in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JmeRay 53 Posted May 13, 2016 MPT hasn't been that good this season, not sure why he's seen as the answer. That said he'd do better than Karger! I'd go for two changes personally, Karger and another out, Branford and a rider to score some points at the top end in. I think it's because he rides our track quite well. He hasn't had a great start to the season but would be picking up points that Karger isn't & so it would be an improvement. As Branford is in the Raiders he would seem an obvious replacement but he has never really kicked on at PL level either. Â I agree that we probably could do with more than one change but I'm not sure who is available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Johnson 285 Posted May 13, 2016 Not sure if you can replace Karger, being an assesed rider new to the league this year you have to stick with him, unless he quits or has a long term injury, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted May 13, 2016 I'm really surprised he hasn't quit. He can't be earning any money and after last night he must surely know he isn't up to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hammer1969 421 Posted May 13, 2016 Could it be that he really may want to follow in his dad's footsteps but as you say he really isn't up to it, surely now it's time someone sat him down and had a good chat re his Speedway ambitions ie his dad, or could it be that is where he is getting encouragement from to keep trying even though surely it is now obvious to all concerned he has made no progress at all since arriving at Rye House Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bash 496 Posted May 13, 2016 It's bad enough having a 3 point rider not scoring any points, but to have a 5 point rider doing the same is far worse, you're basically a 37.50 team. I think Karger would struggle in the national league. He was probably signed because of who his father is, did anyone look at his results elsewhere before he was signed..
