emilali 500 Posted November 29, 2017 Cant see many no 1's left now Morris and Lawson have gone to Lakeside. Unless they get body builder/hairdresser/personal trainer Lewis Bridger back and he can lead the lads from the back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mattfordfan 286 Posted November 29, 2017 Cant see many no 1's left now Morris and Lawson have gone to Lakeside. Unless they get body builder/hairdresser/personal trainer Lewis Bridger back and he can lead the lads from the back. As mentioned by me on the Panthers thread there isn't any No.1's left. R. Lambert, J. Holder, J. Grajczonek, S. Masters and C. Cook have all quit the second tier. Only Wells and E. Riss left on averages over 8.00 and they will be leading Edinburgh.

alang 306 Posted November 29, 2017 Cant see many no 1's left now Morris and Lawson have gone to Lakeside. Unless they get body builder/hairdresser/personal trainer Lewis Bridger back and he can lead the lads from the back. Looks like the increase in average to 42.5 has allowed teams who are quick off the mark to sign at least two No.1 riders and this will lead to a shortage of No.1 to fill all the teams in the league.For those like us who may have signed a team but just not announced it (hopefully!!!) would it be best to go for strength in depth from 1-7 and forget about 2 or 3 point riders.Seems strange that teams like Scunthorpe who bleated on and on about not enough fans and not making money can sign up what is bound to be an expensive team when as far as I can see there is nothing changed in rules or league set-up to inspire confidence and attract new fans.Looking at Glasgow/Scunthorpe/possibly Lakeside there may be a few teams who struggle to maintain crowd levels when fans get a tad fed up seeing huge home wins each week.Still,good luck to them for all that.

Realistically the only person I see left now who could be a number 1 is Bellego but I know there is potentially some issue with him not being allowed to ride Championship. Other than that they are going to have to have a strength in depth approach but also try and get those guys who can improve. The 2 guys who are in any Berwick team Doolan and Howe, can anyone honestly sit there and say they will improve their starting average? Not sure on average but I would take Ryan Douglas over those 2. Its going to be interesting, at least we got Mr Barrie to post a rosie picture for us no matter what happens ayy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fromafar 10,359 Posted November 29, 2017 He is having to take a year out having not attained a 7.00 average last season.Cheers thought I read that somewhere.Decent rider too. Who said he was here to sign for Berwick, the Edbergs are visiting Berwick, they like Berwick. Do you remember when I posted this "MICHAL MAKOVSKY" just that nothing else. Holy hell kicked off, what are you saying about Michal, whats he done to you, you just dont like him. The reality was Michal and myself got on well and still do, I sponsored his eyewear for 10 years. Nobody,as far as I am aware. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
balderdash&piffle 720 Posted November 29, 2017 Cheers thought I read that somewhere.Decent rider too. Nobody,as far as I am aware. That will be because you have to be aware in the first place As mentioned by me on the Panthers thread there isn't any No.1's left. R. Lambert, J. Holder, J. Grajczonek, S. Masters and C. Cook have all quit the second tier. Only Wells and E. Riss left on averages over 8.00 and they will be leading Edinburgh. Well it looks like the top of our team will be 2nd strings, so I really hope No6 & No7 are the very best available, even there some of the cream has been lapped up. The only hope is Scott & Co are thinking out of the box and going for some foreign riders not in the available list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
