thecoombdog 2,367 Posted December 9, 2012 What's the definition of "missing" though? I appreciate you are allowed a guest if the rider has a clash with their PL club, but what if they are injured, otherwise unavailable or are riding overseas - do you get a guest or do you have to use your #8 or a 6pt PL rider? Kennett's Final Averages 2007: 7.11 2008: 7.29 2009: 7.72 2010: 6.63 2011: 7.84 2012: 6.25 I think it's fair to say he the potential to be a point better than is average at the end of last season, even if you ignore 2011. Well going on those stats he was gash in 2010, cheated in 2011 and got the average up and then gash again in 2012. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theblueboy 960 Posted December 9, 2012 Well going on those stats he was gash in 2010, cheated in 2011 and got the average up and then gash again in 2012. He wouldn't have been my choice but you have to say the average is unlikely to go down and he will be a 2nd string so I can see the logic behind his possible inclusion. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I actually think its not a bad signing esp the way he goes round our place. Just makes me laugh when a rider signs after a couple of bad years and everyone says straight away hes on a bargain average and will add a point to it!!

BuzzCagney 310 Posted December 9, 2012 . Subtle tasteful and speedway dont go together!! Would you walk around Aldi/Lidl/Tesco/Asda in a Swindon Wulfsports jacket? sadly some do!! That Robin is bloody big and scary though. Hopefully some purple stuff will be available..original colour, like the French rugby team that play in pink. I like the new gear meself. Hopefully wont keep changing design like these money-grabbing football clubs. Will be purchasing before Xmas at club-shop at The Abbey...good idea. I've never, ever worn a replica football shirt either! Maybe its just me but I would like a choice of how to show my support and a nice subtle logo would be my preference. That being said I still really, really dislike that god awful 'Robin' logo. I even preferred Wally Mawdsleys Flying R Logo! It was on the back of the adver yesterday BuzzCagney. Said that the deal is all but done. ah thanks hyabb17. It was in the Adver- that would explain how I missed it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can see you in pink Keef....very fetching.... bstraight away hes on a bargain average and will add a point to it!! coombers...Kennett is always a middle order rider..six and a half to seven points per match. He's a good replacement for Steady. Firstly because he is younger, secondly because he rides Blunsdon well, thirdly because he is decent on away tracks, including the smaller bowls at Lakeside, Eastbourne, BelleVue and Wolverhampton and finally because he had a poor season last year and needs an arm 'around his shoulder'....Rosco has the proven ability to get the best out of most riders....Eddie will do the business next season if he signs for us. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Adder 94 Posted December 10, 2012 Next Robins 'announcement' due on Tuesday. I'm assuming it'll be confirmation of Kennett signing but we'll have to see in the morning.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
