Shadders 4,135 Posted November 29, 2013 (edited) Shadders you are not another love child of uncle Len are you? Another? How many does he have? there is a distinct difference between paying the riders and paying them on time as opposed to being ruthless and bringing in expensive replacements during the season... Yes, I understand that, but as he has a history of loyalty to his riders I can't see any enforced changes happening. The last rider I can remember being "let go" was Kurt Shields Edited November 29, 2013 by Shadders Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's a big difference in being paid what you're owed, to the penny, on time, as is always the case at Rye. Or not being paid at all, which is happening all to frequently, loads of promises being made this winter, but the more experienced riders know who to trust and who to stay away from.

Oafski 174 Posted November 30, 2013 I see that Jason Garrity and Simon Lambert are on the Hot list for Elite league reserve places and wondered which team would take precedence in the event of a fixture clash. Hopefully it would be Rye House. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kiwi 49 Posted December 2, 2013 If an elite reserve has to give priority to their NL club who replaces them for the night in the elite league? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Stummings 126 Posted December 5, 2013 Looking at the team, I’m sure it has potential.......... I hope Simon Lambert proves his worth. He is keen to return, so let’s hope it proves a astute move. On the larger away tracks he should prove to be a major asset which is probably why Len has signed him. If he can get 4 or 5 at home will be a trump card. Luke Bowen, well again he can do it around Rye, still struggles a bit away from Rye, let’s hope for an injury free season. Jason Bunyan, for me a key player. Excellent in the pits, that’s potentially worth a couple of points straight away. Again let’s hope for a injury free season and will keep his average or maybe increase by a point. Jason Garrity, can be a big hitter if again he steers clear of injury. Could quite easily average 8 plus average a meeting Tyson Nelson is a make or break season for him. Has all the balance and skill and although I believe he is nursing a nasty leg injury sustained in Aussie, let’s hope he’s fully fit for the start of the 2014 season. A common theme in the 2014 team this riders who are coming back from injuries. Steve Boxall has the ability to do well at this level. He has the skill but machinery has been an issue, generally stays fit, so let’s hope 2014 is no different on the fitness front. Edward Kennett will be good around Rye House, should be good away to, has a heavy average to live up to. If the team has a bit of luck, which has sadly eluded them over the last few seasons then Rye could surprise a few. The worry is ‘what if’ we have injuries and out of form riders but I guess the same can be said for all teams…. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bellers101 347 Posted December 6, 2013 I like the look of the Dry House team. Kennett will lose 1+ at least off his average but will still be a top no1 at PL level. All the rest have the potential to improve beyond Kennetts slight loss I reckon though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shadders 4,135 Posted December 6, 2013 Not gonna be threatening the top 4, but top 6 is a distinct possibility. Lots of ifs and buts. Injuries could ruin our season. Personally I can't wait for the season to start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tocha 308 Posted December 7, 2013 Slightly off-topic, but good to see both Olly (Somerset) and Anders (Scunthorpe) are fixed up for next season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rockets 61 Posted December 7, 2013 Still think letting Anders go is a big mistake. I can see him becoming a top rider this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
