TheScotsman 2,482 Posted December 28, 2015 Rob Branford is looking for a place. Rye usually start about 3 points under the limit! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pete Greenwood 19 Posted December 29, 2015 Normal thing seams to be these days is to get rid of another rider and go for a 3pointer and a big hitter . Do Rye pay ok these days or are riders having to wait ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben91 1,743 Posted December 29, 2015 If it's true I'd sacrifice another rider and bring in Branford and a big hitter. A five point unknown is unlikely to improve and we'd be bumping Kasper into the team, may as well sign Branford on an average he can improve and some decent back up for Eddie.

Chris 439 Posted December 30, 2015 Can't see any benefit of Leigh Lanham being signed so a double change if for the better would improve the side. Not sure there's many heatleaders out there though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HadrianDog 291 Posted December 30, 2015 Can't see any benefit of Leigh Lanham being signed so a double change if for the better would improve the side. Not sure there's many heatleaders out there though. Lanham still a good 'journeyman' rider who will on most nights at least hold his average, if not an extra point or so. Cert. still a better option than bringing over a foreigner and hoping anyway! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rayleigh 362 Posted December 30, 2015 still a better option than bringing over a foreigner and hoping anyway! That's and interesting plan, there is a rumour that Nick Busk Jacobson has promise, we could get him over, use this season to bed him in to English speedway, see the tracks, learn the gearing etc and then in year 2 we could take advantage of a fast improving low average rider like we did with Linus Sundstrom and some other rider whose name escapes me.

Ben91 1,743 Posted December 30, 2015 For every Sundstrom there's a a dozen duff riders though, it's not as clear cut as signing someone, he beds in in his first season and then dominates the second year. It isn't worth sacrificing a solid reserve to bring in an unknown, just look at Maassen this season. It either has to be a like for like swap for Klindt or two changes with Branford, a known quantity and improving, and a heatleader coming in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
proud panther 1,498 Posted December 30, 2015 As Peterborough & Redcar have discovered, there isn't many big hitters available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

szkocjasid 2,950 Posted December 30, 2015 Well spotted, I bet no else thought of Tai. Slightly different situation though. Two scandinavians who came in on 7.00 ave's inly dropped a little then had potential to improve greatly in second season. Woffinden was a 3.00 wonderboy, who hit 8.00 and improved the next year also! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
