That's rather harsh, as I recall he was rider of the year last time and on many occasions held things together. He also wanted to stay but Newcastle ordered him back. Signing Kus would be a big + Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Signing Kus would be a big + He refused to ride for Redcar in order to get his move to Newcastle - like with Roynon etc - you turn your back on my club and I don't want you. Enough riders out there not take back anyone like that. It would be a backward step signing him, he won't add to his average and is not reliable - not a great heatleader.

He hasn't lived up to his promise in any way, having him back would hardly be inspiring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Signing Kus would be a big + Kus wanted a transfer away from us to Newcastle because havvy wouldn’t allow him to stay at Berwick and made him sign for us where he rode poor for half a season to push through a move which he eventually got after it went to arbitration, he isn’t the rider he used to be anymore, because of injuries and personal problems, certainly not a number 5 which is what we need so I wouldn’t have him back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He has now had his operation and if fit are raring to go for whoever he signs for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A team who didn't ( then) own him?? Newcastle wanted to sign him on loan originally but were forced to buy him in order to use him. Sorry but your first sentence doesn't make any logical sense, especially since Redcar wanted to use him that year. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BenR195 113 Posted December 18, 2017 As said above, Newcastle didn’t instruct Kus to ride for them, we owned kus’ contract, he had agreed a deal with us in 2016, but Newcastle came in with more money and Kus demanded a transfer, havvy said they would have to buy him, it went to arbitration and they bought him, now he wants to come back because Newcastle ain’t using him 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
northyorksbear 610 Posted December 18, 2017 I think the key factor to remember is that this is a "different" redcar to the one Kus wanted away from, I think he is very likely to be back and with a positive attitude, the right promotional and team management behind him he will do a good job. we all want better, but at times you have to take a) what you can afford and b ) what is available - applies to life in general 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

foamfence 2,917 Posted December 18, 2017 We had some good riders last year, it seems that with the exception of Ben they've all gone elsewhere. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
