He still rides and seems to be one of the better riders in the States (Obviously when the likes of Becker and Nicol are in Europe) And went around Brough Park very well when Edinburgh had him/when he guested for us... What average would Luke Becker come in on? Something has to be done, we've got loads of space to play with in the team... Redcar (our nearest and dearest) are making BIG changes... We don't want to take their long standing title of b*tches of the north east... But it's going to happen if this season fizzles out with what we've got AT LEAST MAKE AN ATTEMPT!! Yes we could very well be taking that title! I remember Aaron Fox at Brough and I'm certain he was rubbish! Sorry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember seeing him at Brough and he was capable of decent races, in fact I seem to remember we used him as a guest once at Brough. Unfortunately he had a mixed period at I think Edinburgh, and they disposed of him cos of his inconsistency's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately he had a mixed period at I think Edinburgh, and they disposed of him cos of his inconsistency's. One guest appearance saw him win his last race (his only scoring race in 5 rides), 7th Sept 2014 home vs Peterborough. Lasse Bjerre scored 15 from 5 (including a tac double) for the Panthers! Danny P also guested for Peterborough (scoring 1). Ulrich Ostergaard (as an aside!) scored 10+2 from 6. Another saw him score 7+2 from 4 against Scunthorpe in a 67-22 home win in June the same year. TJ broke a scaphoid for Scunny after scoring 8 from 5 from reserve for the Scorpions. Edited July 6, 2019 by StevePark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In fact, apart from heat 5 when Danny Ayres made a blistering start, he was only defeated by opposition heat leaders. He'll do for me for now. it's other areas of the team need looking at. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Point 1:- We used R/R for Lasse last night so a sick-note would have been needed. Point 2:- If he has been sacked then we would have only been able to use a 2 point guest last night (which, as it happens wouldn't have made that much difference). Personally I'd be surprised as he is 3rd in the team averages behind Steve and Matty (who has been simply sensational this year and is currently miles ahead in my rider of the year so far). Whereas our original number 1 is 4th! Edited July 8, 2019 by leander Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which are THIS season's proper averages , Including bonus points. GSA's are always "bent" these days as they don't include bonus points and currently include half of last years fixtures! It just shows how good a partnership he has with Matty as they've scored as many bonus points between them as the rest of the team put together. Matty is averaging 8.26 this season as against his GSA of 6.52. Heaven help us if he gets injured. ( As Sheffield have found out with Broc Nicol). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So does that mean we can swap him for a rider up to 7.42(his proper average)?,,, bargain, if we can Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
