Sidney the robin 4,735 Posted August 6, 2017 This Swindon team is mediocre in the extreme. Its just that other teams are even worse. Mediocre with Doyle, Musielak, Morris as a solid heat leader trio and Bellego Ellis as superb back up with BWD who can pop up and surprise and win a race or two.Musielak is the difference and it just shows Wolves must be struggling financially to sell him to us was a suicidal move longterm in my book. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not really an indication of Wolves financial position. Give it a year or two when Musielak is an established Ekstraliga heat leader and has a Swedish deal and he won't want to / won't be allowed to ride here, so the Robins will have an unusable asset.

I overheard people who would know talking about it, and Swindon paid 5 grand for Musielak. An increase of just 50 people a week on the gate through having a league topping side would pay that off, so I reckon he will pay for himself. I dont know if it was Swindon or Wolves' decision to make it a full transfer but it was sound business from Swindon even if he doesn't appear in the UK again after this year.

DC2 11,150 Posted August 6, 2017 I overheard people who would know talking about it, and Swindon paid 5 grand for Musielak. The asset system is stupid. A rider rides eight matches and becomes an asset, meaning another club has to buy him or pay a loan fee; why? What has the club actually done for the rider? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gavan 5,049 Posted August 6, 2017 The league is watered down we all know that But the sheer jealously from the Poole duo is amazing. Fools that are clueless but still we get a laugh out of them Then the other one Gater1 who has had another name change to speedway fanatic pops up as well.....what a sad bunch in Dorset. Basically Poole have imploded this season. Were hot favourites only to mess it up somehow. Middlo should take a look at the way Rosco does things! Poole had a number one who they said loved Poole, only rides well for Poole and will rack up the big scores. A solid second heat leader 2 young Aussie stars ( who to be fair have done great) Solid loyal Kyle Newman who they bombed out for a rider of the same ability The best reserve in the league by a mile Good 2 pointer in Shanes Thats the best part of the season that the Poole team has been so so dire I hope Swindon go on to win it been the best team Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For me over the last few years Ford has lost his touch his judgement on certain riders very questionable i believe Poole are slipping behind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SCB 0 Posted August 6, 2017 (edited) This Swindon team is pretty meh. But to have gone 11 out of 11 and be top of the league shows how well they're all performing and how a team is more that the sum of it's parts. Rosco is working some serious magic and for that I'm more impressed than if they had just been a great team from the start. Fair play to all 9 of this season Robins and the great Rosco. edit - Musielak was an inspirational signing. But he was always going to do well, I'm not shocked about that. Bellego, and BWD to a lesser extent have impressed me. Edited August 6, 2017 by SCB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
