topaz325 1,877 Posted July 2, 2012 Can understand Rusty's reasons for calling it a day with the Comets it must be difficult for him with a young family and a full time job to fulfil all his commitments with Workington. Rusty will be difficult to replace, especially away from home where he has come up with some good scores, eg 10 at Sheffield,10+3 at Glasgow, 8 at Edinburgh,9 at Scunthorpe, 10 at Ipswich. Best wishes for the future Rusty and thanks for all your efforts for Workington Comets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Best wishes for the future Rusty and thanks for all your efforts for Workington Comets. Now it doesn't take an Einstein to work out that its alot more than family issues as to Rustys departure, have a little look on Facebook a whole different story on there Rusty hasn't looked himself at DP for weeks now something wasn't right. Going by Saturdays match the track was slick and bald no schale on it . Its high time that Mr Denham listened to his riders and stopped playing the high and mighty, its the lads that ride the bloody track not him , get your hand in your pocket and put some schale on the track!!!! These lads bust their gut every week out there and its time they were treat with a bit more respect . We all remember the unhappy camp last season and sudden departures of James and Peter , the team spirit was at a high a couple of weeks ago so lets get it back that way. R/R will not work for long there are riders out there give them a chance, Arnio,Poole or someone doubling up from the EL, we coming into a busy few weeks ahead don't leave it for weeks on end Workington can go far this season, come on Jacko back the lads up Best Wishes to Rusty and hopefully one day you will finish on a high at Workington Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olga 31 Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) Rusty has been a top class act for the Comets for many years. His kit has always been top notch, he has never let anyone down, and has been a complete professional in his approach so far as I can see. He scores well on all Premier League tracks and his 7.2 average stacks up (even when holding a 5 race jacket). I can understand health, family and other work commitments of course. I can also see frustration at lack of grip for him. On Sat he tried the outside blasts and no grip there. Based on absolutely no facts / information ... maybe he didn't get the nod for the 4's at Peterboro? Mmmm? Edited July 3, 2012 by Olga Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scaramanga 910 Posted July 3, 2012 can people list riders they think can replace rusty im struggleing to come up with any thats sitting on the sidelines that can do a good enough job around the 7.20 average quoted some have mentioned taylor poole i dont think this is a option as when hes fit i would expect him to return to ipswich or another southern bassed club for me not a perfect option but knowing how close to the promotion he was topinka could be high up on the list but if people can quote acurate averages for riders that can replace rusty we can all share our views towards the chance of them replacing him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
