andys 224 Posted November 14, 2018 38 point limit, I'm sorry but this just means the championship being watered down to hopefully boost the so called top division, I'm all for cutting costs but if that means watching two nl riders at 6 and 7 it's wrong... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If every club has two National league standard riders at reserve it means more actual competitive racing hopefully 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brough Diamond 60 Posted November 14, 2018 33 minutes ago, Tsunami said: No chance. Expecting some of the 2018 team to return given home form and the paltry points limit. If all teams are going with 2 two pointers I imagine Danny Phillips will be back if his leg is up to it? A bad end of season with Scunny but we’ve tried most of the two pointers and look how that went? We will be back to 2017 when reserves were weak. With P’boro moving up I wonder if young Mr Bacon could be tempted. Seems to excel at Newcastle? Kyle Newman always welcome and must be on a depressed average if he could live with the travel? My biggest wish would be Edinburgh to send Josh Pickering down on loan but we all know that isnt going to happen. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Newcastle could have the exact same team with Robbo out and Phillips in the total only comes to 36.25 before any reductions are applied. Again with Ludvig and Robbo out and Garritty in with Phillips the total comes to 37.37 so there are options to retain the bulk of last year's side. (If they are wanted or want to come back of course) Regards THJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TotallyHonestJohn 3,078 Posted November 14, 2018 (edited) Tell you who else not to rule out Nico Covatti... especially now that Ippo have gone up... He's is one of George's go to guests and goes well at Brough although I don't know what his European commitments are like for him to come to a Sunday club...

TotallyHonestJohn 3,078 Posted November 16, 2018 Well I didn't get what I wanted with 6 man teams so here is an attempt at a 7 man one to 38 points So No Newcastle AVE 2.50% (GB Reduction) 1 Jason Garrity 7.59 7.40 5 Tero Arrnio 6.83 6.83 2 Ashley Morris 5.58 5.44 3 Matthew Wethers 5.78 5.64 4 Paul Starke 5.66 5.52 or Nico Covatti 6.56 6 Daniel Gappmaier 4.84 4.84 or Nathan Greaves 4.09 7 Danny Phillips 2.00 2.00 TOTAL 38.50 35.89 7 man team built to 38 points however I am relying on all GB riders getting a 2.5% reduction and if they don't swap Nathan Greaves for 4.09 in spot of Gappmaier which brings it down to 37.53 and if that is the case you could add in Nico in place of Starke (so does anyone know who will qualify for the 2.5% reduction) Or so (with no reductions) No Newcastle AVE 1 Jason Garrity 7.59 5 Tero Arrnio 6.83 2 Ashley Morris 5.58 3 Matthew Wethers 5.78 4 Paul Starke 5.66 6 Nathan Greaves 4.09 7 Danny Phillips 2.00 37.53 Or (with no reductions) No Newcastle AVE 1 Jason Garrity 7.59 5 Nico Covatti 6.56 2 Ashley Morris 5.58 3 Matthew Wethers 5.78 4 Paul Starke 5.66 6 Nathan Greaves 4.09 7 Danny Phillips 2.00 37.26 So it all just depends on that 2.5% reduction and who gets it? as it can make a significant difference.

diamond@heart 399 Posted November 16, 2018 (edited) As it is still silly season and nobody knows who is riding where, here is my ten penneths worth. Garrity 7.39 (with reduction) Covatti 6.56 Bach 7.19 Morris 5.44 (with reduction) Aarnio 6.57 Bowtell 2.35 (with reduction) A N Other 2.00 (not D Phillips although I think it will be him) Total 37.50 I have assumed British riders get a 2.5% reduction.

bloom89 470 Posted November 16, 2018 Wouldn’t mind trying to get Bowtell back for one of the reserve positions he ended the season pretty well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
