    Although it was a good performance from the team last night we definitely need one more change asap. Personally I would keep Tofty and get rid of Patryk as their averages are virtually the same but I suspect Tofty comes a lot cheaper money the club could put towards a replacement.

    The big question is who is available on about a 7.5 point average.? Can’t think of anybody who would like to come over to the uk to ride, thoughts anyone.

    I think it’s fairly common knowledge that Zagar is quite expensive.

    you didnt even mention the call off in your first post? I'm pretty certain changes can get ratified extremely quickly. 

    I know sorry! I just meant they probably knew over the weekend Tarasenko wouldn’t be back and I’m sure the rule used to be that you had to submit your team 2 days before a meeting meaning they ride Thursday so they must’ve had this all sorted on Monday or Tuesday at the latest.

    Just ordered the stream for this hoping for a good meeting and hopefully see what all the fuss around Workington track is about hopefully it’s as good as has been described. Not really quite sure how this meeting will go obviously newbies for Workington still getting adjusted to there home track and most of the Redcar side haven’t ridden here before, think Redcar need a big meeting from Danny King today otherwise it could be a long afternoon for them.

    Rules went out the window on that one. Helmet wasn’t checked or nothing. Which I believe we did complain about.

    Re the helmet situation didn’t Harris ride at Oxford the previous night? I’m assuming his erm helmet would’ve been checked then? He didn’t fall during the meeting so surely it should be safe and sound the following evening.

    Some on here have been saying for quite a while now that Promoters should be Promoting the sport.

    Workington bring in a female rider and are accused of it being a PR stunt.  They just can't win, can they?

    I think the general consensus is it’s generated a lot of interest purely because she’s a woman but say for example they had signed Adam Roynon there wouldn’t be half the interest there’s been for Celina so you could call it a bit of a pr stunt I’d say it’s got people talking and social media and other outlets have taken an interest in this signing… Look at the facts though she’s had 13 rides to date in 3 meetings and she’s scored 2 points there are so many unemployed riders who could’ve scored that and better and that’s a fact it’s nothing to do with her gender.

    I know it's early days, but first impressions:

    Claus - still got it

    Tate and Antii - both excellent today even first time out, once they get settled in I'd expect them to be the heat leaders with Claus

    Cook and Batchelor - best days are in the past but will still do a job

    Celine and Sam - looking like the weak point, but let's give them a chance and see how they do against teams with similar level reserves.  Neither were going to challenge Hodder and Celine had a good second ride to beat Borke.

     

    Wait until they come up against similar standard reserves? Hmm… one of Berwick’s reserves hasn’t ridden at this level before same as Sam and the other had a handful of meetings and comes in on the same average as your other reserve so don’t really understand that comment… although they need a few more meetings than two but if they carry on in that vein then it places a lot of pressure on the top 5 which is a risk as some of them are going to tracks for the first time.

    Why?? Its the right decision!! How does not abiding to rules help with credibility!!  

    But the NDL have slightly changed the rules to suit one team I totally get why they done that mind but it just opens a can of worms for other teams to try and do surely? You don’t want a young rider potentially missing out as was the case with Perry I think but rules should be equal for the three leagues surely? 
     

    But at the same time the other promoters are partly to blame for not signing the young lad in the first place imo.

    Ritchie Worral ?

    Hopefully nobody touches him if/when he’s available again… made himself look a right tool with his high and mighty innocent statement after he’d already failed a drugs test… more importantly though let his team down badly.

    I don't know why they would want BWD, must be a few better riders than him on a 8 point average, maybe patryk Wojdolo might fancy doubling up.

    Me either but you only have to look at how workington are struggling to get the last rider and sometimes beggars can’t be choosers. Unless they could do a short term deal with someone like Ellis how Birmingham did I don’t really see many options imo.

    Milik hasnt ridden here for a very long time, if you want to sign a rider and want him re-assessed then you ask, if on the other hand you are happy with his last average because you think it be re-assessed higher then you dont ask.

    He hasn’t but I don’t think anyone agrees he’s improved by 2 points? Choices look slim for Plymouth so unless Riss wants to do it then maybe BWD is the next best shot.
