Uluru 80 Posted January 7, 2018 Ellis Perks is sitting in Australia without a club in the UK. Bears should have gone for him, rather than the unknown quantity Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bears should have gone for him, rather than the unknown quantity I agree wholeheartedly, Uluru, and I have to admit that I am embarassed and totally mystified as to why he has been cut after his simply stunning contribution to the cause in 2017. Has someone at the top forgotten how, particularly at the beginning of the campaign, Ellis was weighing in with huge double-figure scores almost everywhere he went and, along with Barker and Garrity, was the backbone of the team. Without those contributions we would surely have not gone on to enjoy such a successful season. For me the first two names on the list for 2018 should have been Ben and Ellis but what do we know about what goes on behind the scenes? I would expect Ellis to be furious at being overlooked - I would too - but I hope that someone will pick him up and allow him to consolidate on 2017 and go on to enjoy a bright future in our leagues.

mikebaker 199 Posted January 7, 2018 Let hope that our neighbours use Kus. They own him, and are apparently running on a budget. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

screm 8,050 Posted January 7, 2018 Matek Kus`s average tells us that he must be scoring decent points somewhere along the line so if Redcar have the chance to sign him, I`d take it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't! Apart from his history with the club, he isn't exactly known for his confidence or fortitude. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His average is high because Ludvig used to protect him at Newcastle and they got a lot of 5-1’s against opposition riders who struggled to ride the track, he will do a good jump for us at Newcastle and maybe the odd meeting here and there but can’t see him producing the goods and supporting barker, I expect his average to drop to about 6.5 by the end of the season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dandelion 775 Posted January 7, 2018 I wouldn't mind Ellis Perks and Matej Kus at Newcastle Can't imagine Ellis Perks costing a lot either, so if we are on a tight budget, he could be a good option... And British, but will he keep Ashley at reserve? Who knows... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
