Baldyman 6,243 Posted November 30, 2021 Mmmmm,,,,, glad Starke is back,,, but that has suddenly put all the team selection rumours to bed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They should take advantage.Rowe as a rs is a good move.Another loophole discovered maybe? He has an average of 4.46 and in effect goes back down to a 3pt as this is what all rising stars would come into the team proper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As he says on the official site, he was a 6 pointer at one point during the season before injury struck! Got a feeling he’ll be a real trump card. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arch Stanton 2,251 Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) Cook for Heeps? Doyle Doyle’s mate Cook (sorry Taps) Riss King Starke By my calculations comes to 38.83.. Edited November 30, 2021 by Arch Stanton 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That means either the rider we’ve been heavily rumoured to have signed in the last few days has fell through, or we haven’t signed either Riss or Heeps which the strong rumours indicated we had! We surely haven’t built a couple of points under?? Could be that the rumoured change is actually in place of Riss I can think of someone that fits the hole left and have heard rumblings about .......

Perfectly highlights the biggest flaw in the RS system It's wrong that one team can gain such an advantage (potentially) even when it your own team! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trees 2,814 Posted November 30, 2021 I doubt anyone will have a problem with Rowe being a r/s cos that's what he would've been last year ..... he particularly likes Lynn too arghhhh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

siggysigalos 28 Posted November 30, 2021 I heard a rumour about Holder last Wednesday,but thought he we go again,so without getting laughed at on here I wouldn't say it. But it's been brewing for days,it does join up with the Dots that Louis had a change of plan at the last minute,but its all rumour. I'd love it if we got Holder in,but don't know who misses out,but clearly a deal for somebody has fallen through or Louis changed his mind. I think Rowe and Starke at Reserve is decent,not convinced,but its decent. Who the other 3 are remains to be seen as Danny will be a definite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Falcon1983 557 Posted November 30, 2021 Hasn't Holder not signed to ride in Sweden which would rule him out of the UK? I think the Starke signing is only a good one if he is riding down at no.6 As we all know King is one Did Musieleks sponsor put Sheffield up by mistake as he might be sponsored by Tru Plant but riding for Ipswich not Sheffield, I know that's highly unlikely but one can dream. 1. Doyle 2. ???? 3. 4. 5. King 6. Starke 7. Rowe Make or break time... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BartoszZmarzlikFan 491 Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) Cook, Buczkowski, Batchelor, Riss & Heeps are the rumoured names linked. Which HL and 2 second strings will complete the side. Edited November 30, 2021 by KingoftheTrack Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
