A ORLOV 8,628 Posted November 22, 2019 Good signing but I hope Rosco can find good riders at the bottom end or another Rassa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would Morris come back? I don’t know. He didn’t set the world on fire last year but I know he is capable of much better, used to be mustard at Swindon and clearly the early season injury affected him. Riding at 2 with Doyle would boost his confidence again as it has for young Adam. Not keen on that side cannot see that side winning the league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DC2 11,150 Posted November 22, 2019 Big mistake for me signing Troy, because a) we need to drop four points from the team and he was the obvious start; b) he’s not likely to improve on his average; c) Rasmus is the likely victim despite averaging almost the same as Troy at home and saving us almost a point on team building in comparison; d) Rasmus is the more likely to improve, especially away. Troy’s average 8.75 (home 9.08, away 8.41) Rasmus’ average 7.86 (home 9.04, away 6.54) Rosco frequently makes the wrong call with team building and he’s done it again, although it’s possibly down to Batch being cheaper regarding flights. Musielak is still on an attractive average and a must for me, so I hope he doesn’t join Rasmus in the cost cutter bin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hyabb17 1,077 Posted November 22, 2019 Sedgy's converted champ average will be 3.12. Him & Perks at reserve perhaps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nielsen should be on a converted 3 as although we signed him on 3.81 this year he didn’t complete a race in the PL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll be honest I thought that the conversion rate was 60% of his champ average which finished at 5.2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Won't be able to go in on less that a 4 point average I believe Happy with Doyley & Batch, as I said in a previous post I'd be happy with the top heavy and loyal route keeping those two + Jensen, Ellis & Perks. IF it was a straight choice between Batchelor and Jensen, personally I'd see Troy as a safer bet on his average. Jensen was outstanding for us last season and turned our season around. He needs to be able to follow that up which I hope he can. Batch is consistent top end strength. We have the top two riders in the league, so I'm not finding much to moan about yet Edited November 22, 2019 by Reliant Robin 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunner85 603 Posted November 22, 2019 they have obviously abandoned the one rider over 8 points rule. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
