Gunner85 603 Posted November 21, 2017 I do hope that Somerset can now sign a genuine no 1 for 2018. Good luck next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SomersetBlue 212 Posted November 21, 2017 People questioning about Morris but he had a really good season for Swindon last season and achieved a high average. I think a lot of Rebel fans would love him back, finished 3rd in the averages last season behind Doyle and Lindgren. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Catalan 717 Posted November 21, 2017 I would say unlikely as Somerset have signed a rider who sits around the mid 7's already meaning unlikely all would fit. From what I believe they haven't signed anyone yet. Probably talking to some riders Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think a lot of Rebel fans would love him back, finished 3rd in the averages last season behind Doyle and Lindgren. If he was on loan for a season,it wouldn't help his chances of a Swindon team place in 2019 if he didn't drop nearly a point of his average.He might do that anyway if the was a number one..Who knows.

Starman2006 2,354 Posted November 21, 2017 (edited) If your not going to use a rider why should you demand a loan fee ? Because thats how it works. He goes out on loan so you get a fee. Its called business. Edited November 21, 2017 by Starman2006 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RebelDan 203 Posted November 21, 2017 (edited) Eh? Is this the same Nick Morris who finished last season with a higher average than Thorssell, Cook, Bjerre, Andersen, Harris, Fricke, Kurtz, Batchelor or Holder that you're talking about? Only riders higher were Lindgren and Doyle. What part of a No 1 don't you understand? On a different note, what a marvellous accolade for the Somerset promotion to have the club handed the first-ever "Community Club" award by the SWRA trustees. Fully deserved, and ahead of the expectations of clubs such as Glasgow and the Isle of Wight. He's not an out and out No 1 in my opinion - he rode without the pressure of a No 1 on his back with Doyle in the same team at Swindon LY. He's had one good season and been inconsistent (in No 1 terms) last season apart. Just my opinion - your entitled to yours. Id rather have Josh G than Morris plus Morris has openly stated hes struggled around the OTA in the past despite riding a full season there in 2014.

One of those riders who does stupid or seems to go missing when you need him most. Great entertainment value usually though.

DJC 251 Posted November 22, 2017 If you did go down the Morris route you could go; Morris Allen Lawson Josh G Charles Wright Mark Riss 2.35 left Allen or Riss at reserve all year would be a strong tail especially at home Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plus I honestly can't see Grajczonek back next season nor maybe Allen, depends on who upset the promotion at the end of season disco. Lawson and Wright were riding and injured respectively.

I read on the main Polish Spdwy site that Josh intends taking some POL Speedway exams and expects to be spending more time there now he is signed up for 2017 to POL Nice 1 (I think). Would not surprise me that being one of those 7 plus point men who will no doubt be in demand for 2018 then he may try and sign for a team further north to his home town Sheffield I think. I reckon he will still double up as he has done for years but may try and not have that horrendous round trip for every home match. I may be wrong as he's been a great servant to Somerset in both Prem and Champ, but I would not blame him for trying to reduce commuting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grachan 7,362 Posted November 22, 2017 It should be compulsory for the teams that voted for other sides to release 8 point riders to offer those riders a team place in 2018. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisa-colette 6,024 Posted November 22, 2017 It should be compulsory for the teams that voted for other sides to release 8 point riders to offer those riders a team place in 2018.Wow, you are really pee'd off with this rule aren't you? I wonder if you were as bothered when Coventry had to choose between Hamill and Hancock and Poole with Chris and Darcy. Yes it sucks but just gave to get on with it, if JD thinks moaning about the situation will change it then he is in for a shock! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
