Dandelion 775 Posted June 4, 2019 I know this might not be the best place to ask this, maybe an Eastbourne forum or something? lol... But what average would Daniel Spiller come in on? Is he English or German now? 2.00 or 4.00? Think he'd be good round Brough since he rode so well at Eastbourne... Also does he already race on weekends? I dunno...

However he had quite a deal supplied by Eastbourne and i suspect that would need matching for him to consider coming over and in reality it would be far too much sensibly for a reserve to receive.

Either way, he looked impressive considering he was only a 2.00 rider He was only impressive in comparison with others on Sunday. Very decent though, yes. However unless my memory fails me he was riding in the Conference for Redcar ten years or so ago and didn't make the step up. For my money the discussion on our reserves is academic. We shouldn't let the perfect be the downfall of the good. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Might be worth offering that little bit more tahn is expected, I feel if we had a strong number 7 like Danny Spiller it would really put the Diamonds as one of the strongest teams in the league... To be able to make the play-offs and win the Knock Out Cup would be a very successful season... 1 hour ago, Terrace Grumbler said: He was only impressive in comparison with others on Sunday.

But he hasn't ridden every season since, he's only been back around for a couple years and he seems to be doing pretty decently in the NL... And has that experience which is important... Certainly was looking to impress on Sunday with his performance... Plus if he looks impressive compared to one of your current riders... Isn't it then a no brainer to sign him up instead?

As I've been trying to say, there may be a bigger picture here which makes this a pointless (no pun intended!) exercise. We'll see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
