Daniel Smith 5,645 Posted August 6, 2018 I'd like to think my tweet to Dale may of had an influence in the decision. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,820 Posted August 6, 2018 This signing has the potential to secure the Stars a play off play. Congratulations, good move. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foreverblue 6,081 Posted August 6, 2018 Erik Riss for Garrity is a very good change, shame for Garrity but Riss is riding very well at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted August 6, 2018 Yes a strengthening move no doubt. Can’t help thinking if Poole had done this there would be pages slating us for disregarding a Brit though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pinny 2,536 Posted August 6, 2018 A no brainer. Riss is making big strides and will be a good addition to the top flight. Garrity very spectacular and exciting, but far too out of control to make it much further than he has. Remember seeing him in the Conference League at Newport and he obviously had talent but was out of control a lot. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

John Scrutton 180 Posted August 6, 2018 Pity we can't have our other German back Looks to be in good form this year (2nd in the German championship) and would be on a low average as far as i can tell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But Lynn don't have a history of it, unlike the 20w 50 Pirates 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob B 1,245 Posted August 6, 2018 Lynn managed to fit Riss in exactly on the point limit, they had 6.10 available. So Rose and Kerr now been replaced by Palm Toft and Riss, so much stronger now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danny Connor 351 Posted August 6, 2018 Bit of a shame Garrity didn't get a chance to prove himself. Hope its not the last we see of him! I wonder what changed Riss's mind. I thought he didn't fancy the travel? Good Signing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought he didn't fancy the travel? Good Signing Another time, another place, it might have worked out. They say 'you reap what you sow' and this saying is never far for the truth. He has loads of ability , but always over does it. Spends too much time failing off, spends to much time injured, he will never reaps the rewards his ability is capable off because of his reckfullness. I remember when he was reserve at Cardiff SGP and came in a late race. He missed the gate, then when last he made a desperate lunge inside of Robert Lambert when there wasn't a space. They both came a cropper. Such a predictable outcome to a ridiculous move. He does it all the time and he wonders why they have such a bad opinion of him. If he was to concentrate on sensible riding he could easily become a better rider, that fans want to have in their team... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,758 Posted August 6, 2018 I like Garrity, yes he falls off too often but he's not frightened to get stuck in and is exciting to watch. However Riss is a better option right now and makes us stronger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
