hyderd 1,216 Posted November 17, 2017 Exactly. Additionally they would like to minimise the risk that riders are unavailable due to injuries sustained in other employment. Someone should remind the Poles that the last speedway rider to sadly die from injuries sustained in a crash was in Poland, also the great D Ward lost his speedway career through a crash in Poland. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hyderd 1,216 Posted November 17, 2017 How is that relevant to the point Waieheke made? Because they want to minimize the risk of their riders getting injured so affecting their teams and leagues, more riders suffer bad injuries in Poland than anywhere else. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waiheke1 4,295 Posted November 17, 2017 Yeah but thats still irrelevant. It doesnt matter how dangerous the job is that you are paying someone to do, they are still less likely to miss a days work injured as a result of working elsewhere if u stop them working elsewhere. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Point taken, so lets hope in the future someone,somewhere pays enough money so riders don't have to be tied to Polish contracts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T.N.T. 355 Posted November 18, 2017 Well Fredrik Lindgren has signed for Czestochowa and Jacob Thorssell has signed up again at Zielona Gora and have it on good authority that both should be fit for next season and certainly in the team plans once everything is known after the AGM this weekend. Going to be hard to release two at least from last year's team as the limit looks like being 41 and at the end Wolves were on 47.44 so sadly changes have to be made. Could Piotr Pawlicki be one for a return to Britain but will it be at Wolves ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beowulf 1,513 Posted November 20, 2017 Really annoyed at this. Fred and Jacob have never ridden for anyone else in the league and both sides, club and rider, have shown great loyalty. Screwed up by one rule. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wolfsbane 12,944 Posted November 20, 2017 So that's Sam, Rory, Fred, Kyle & Nathan + 2 others. Remind me what are Tai & Piotr's averages? Over 8? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,820 Posted November 20, 2017 So that's Sam, Rory, Fred, Kyle & Nathan + 2 others. Remind me what are Tai & Piotr's averages? Over 8? Tai 7.03 (doesn't include matches ridden in 2016 so maybe an adjustment will apply ? Piotr 7.32 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wolfsbane 12,944 Posted November 20, 2017 Mmmmmmmmmmm. Only 1 rider over 8.00. Might be controversial but just because we can do we have to? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BWitcher 12,453 Posted November 20, 2017 Mmmmmmmmmmm. Only 1 rider over 8.00. Might be controversial but just because we can do we have to? I think Tai is over 8. Piotr Pawlicki isn't though. If Fred wants to return a top three of Lindgren, Masters and Pawlicki is very strong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TNT said the same thing about Tai but I can't see any new average for him other than the one he finished 2016 on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
