Cliffeboy 577 Posted January 13, 2013 (edited) Just seen on official site. Would have been hugely delighted this time last season. Went backwards in 2012, i just hope he can get his career back on track or we will have a huge wagging tail again. could still quite easily have a good season. Welcome to Wolves Sam. Good move for Sam imo. He did go a bit backwards last year,but it was his first time at doing quite a lot of fixtures and travelling. As the Reigning Prem champ aswell there was a general feeling that maybe he was a bit "up" himself.He became a victim of Somerset`s run in when they dropped him for Monberg , because of the amount of fixtures he was going to miss. He didn`t take that to well and it seems there was a bit of an upset at the end which was unfortunate.It is all about experience though, and we forget he is still only 21. A move away from the other top Aussies will hopefully take some pressure off,it certainly didn`t do Doyley any harm last season ! The Sam Masters from 2011 will be an excellent plus for any team,and with someone like Tai helping to keep his feet on the ground,it bodes well for Wolves.I wish him well.

Woz01 3,589 Posted January 13, 2013 Its another average side for me, Masters is a decent last signing and the only Wolves rider who has improvement in him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing to do with fixtures, the whole was over sponsors and his reluctance to remove certain sponsors from his van amongst other things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woz01 3,589 Posted January 13, 2013 Thats rubbish lindgen will improve alot after a poor season Its just an opinion, i dont think he will improve a lot a small increase maybe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Turner 347 Posted January 13, 2013 Good signing in my opinion I expect Sam will become somewhat of a track specialist at Wolverhampton. A track that very much suits his riding style. Best of luck to Wolves for 2013 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
superguest 194 Posted January 13, 2013 Its another average side for me, Masters is a decent last signing and the only Wolves rider who has improvement in him. Lindgren, Proctor, Thorsell and Masters have improvement in them. Skornicki and Wells need to maintain their average. Just leaves Woffy, starting the season as a GP rider and no.1, I personally think he will do OK if his engines are as good as last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T.N.T. 355 Posted January 13, 2013 Its another average side for me, Masters is a decent last signing and the only Wolves rider who has improvement in him. Even if they had little imprvement, the team on paper should do its job. 8.80 between 5 rides = 11 points ...... thats 22 points for Tai and Freddie 6.57, 5.79 and 5.53 is nearly 18 points ....... thats 40 points from the main body 3.85 and 3.00 is near 6 points ......... Thats 46 ...... 46-44 every meeting will do me fine HOWEVER ..... Tai could improve but I would be happy if he stays at 8.80 while Ty scoring 5 or 6 each meeting is what you require from your lowest second. ..... Those two may stay about the same which is fine. ........ Sam Masters could improve but I would be suprised if it was more than a point and if he can get 4 or 5 every meeting he will have done his job. To be honest I think Adam will struggle to stay on the same average and it could go down towards six points a match ..... mainly because he looks to be partnering Ricky Wells who in my opinion will improve possibly more than any one else in the team. Ricky has gone from a 3.00 rider that had more duck eggs than Sainsburys just two years ago to a rider that holds a 5.79 average and was averaging well over six points a match while in the main body of the team. Remember that he is still only 21 years of age and with Sam Ermolenko in his corner he is destined to improve even more. We all know Freddie can be better than his 2012 EL scores showed and lets not forget it was only 2 years ago he was hitting maximum after maximum and is the last rider to finish an EL season averaging over ten points a match. .... Even a 0.50 improvement will do. As for Jacob ...... Who knows ? .... He certainly has something there and will improve, but at present he is really a 2.26 rider so improving by a point will only make him a 3.26 rider. .... Think he will average under four but over three with ease. In short, Ricky, Freddie, Sam and possibly Jacob to improve on their averages Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BluTiger 21,719 Posted January 13, 2013 Cant wait to see him ride your track!! He got 5pts from six rides last year with Poole Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Starman2006 2,356 Posted January 13, 2013 Last visit he notched 2 2 1* 3 2*F So if you're suggesting he won't be able to ride it, perhaps might want to think again. Unless he changes his style mate thats all he'l be scoring every week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boffy 84 Posted January 13, 2013 Unless he changes his style mate thats all he'l be scoring every week. I will be happy with that every week....... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,834 Posted January 13, 2013 1. Funnily enough smart comments is something I can never accuse you of, repetitive, boring, last word are words I associate with you Brum. 2. Agreed and probably applies to most supporters everywhere bar the south coast near Bournemouth. 3. That's why we know you are a Wolves fan, with team builders like Adams & CVS it's just as well let's be fair they have seriously lost the plot in recent times and a lot of Monmore fans have noticed. 1. Smart alec reply as expected. Being dissed by you is not an insult, but thanks for trying. You , indeed are very so. 2. Gotta agree on something i suppose. 3. Better a true fan than a glory fan, so i have no issues with that at all. A good 85% of fans would agree with me on that, so shows your true colours. Is it ? most of time it's easy to judge how a team will get on. sometimes a team can surprise but it's a hardly delusional . I see you used Eastie as a example on how people can get in wrong but at the same time you can find plenty of examples when people have got it right . It is yes. Some look strong and some less so. ON PAPER. Some ride to that potential and others rise to it. You can look at teams with signings so far and see ifs and buts to mostly all of them. However it wouldnt surprise if it was the same people saying Eastbourne are as weak this season as the past 2. You would think they might learn! Its another average side for me, Masters is a decent last signing and the only Wolves rider who has improvement in him. All sides look average to me. No one strong stand out side on paper right now. Unless he changes his style mate thats all he'l be scoring every week. No idea what you are actually trying to say. If, as it looks, you are saying Masters will only score ten points each week then we have a play off berth looming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
orion 7,631 Posted January 13, 2013 Unless he changes his style mate thats all he'l be scoring every week. Yea Wolves won't want him scoreing 10 +2 every week will they 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fourentee 989 Posted January 14, 2013 Are you wolves happy with that ? You must wonder why Poole are not using him on that average, i think you could have done better. Good signing, IMHO. Any specific suggestions on the "could have done better" front? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
