szkocjasid 3,022 Posted June 14, 2018 I'm a bit young to remember Kelvin Mullarky but i've seen a little of him on VHS and my Dad always had fond memories of him (said he was a hard rider). RIP Kelvin xx 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All 3 of them will struggle more then Max to get around Rye. With 3.81 points to play with should the promotion go back to looking at getting Ben Morley back if his average fits. He's riding the best I've seen him at the moment scoring well for both Lakeside & IOW. He has improved on his averages in both the Championship & National leagues with a 5.16 ave in the CL & a 10.40 ave in the NL. Also as a No 7 will score more around Rye than any of the 3 mentioned above. Edited June 14, 2018 by dave1075 Corrections Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ben Morley would come into Prem on a 3.97 ave (5.16 / 1.3) wouldn't fit in place of Clegg! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chris 441 Posted June 15, 2018 The spare points need using to make the top five stronger. Pointless using them on a 3.80 rider who will make little difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rayleigh 362 Posted June 16, 2018 Sorry to bang on about Matej Kus but at 3.80 he is a bargain last night he beat Ricky Wells twice at Wells home track. His low average wont be for long 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His low average wont be for long Matej Kus on that average is indeed a bargain but would he be available for all of Rye`s Wednesday meeting as I think the Czech league runs on that night and Kus is part of the Marketa Prague squad. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good point, I don't know but there are not many meetings in Prague and we have signed NBJ (I am pleased with this signing) who rides in the Danish League on Wednesdays. So it seems that teams do accommodate a certain amount of clashes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben91 1,743 Posted June 16, 2018 I'm not sure where the rules stand on this this season but surely it would have been in our interests to let NBJ 'go' without gaining a Premiership average and then singing him again in a few weeks time on his converted Championship average which would see him on a 4.42 as opposed to his current 5. Kus would be a gamble. Very similar to KK (albeit not ability wise) in the fact that if things are going his way he can be a decent rider. The move to Rye helped KK last season, if we could do the same with Kus then he'd be worth a punt. I'd rather gamble on Kus than bring back Morley or Perks. And he can't be worse than Clegg.
