dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,706 Posted April 21, 2014 New Rolling aves . Think they are about right! Richie Worrall 8.43 (8.42) Rohan Tungate 6.99 (7.05) Morten Risager 6.64 (6.90) Cameron Heeps 6.39 (6.74) Gino Manzares 5.47 (5.00) 4th away meeting needed Adam Ellis 4.81 (4.14) Ritchie Hawkins 4.67(3.96) Need to keep Ellis above Hawkins so we can use a Pl guest Somerset on the 2nd May due to be the 4th away for Gino so his new average will come into force 7 days later. Adam guaranted to stay at reserve as even if Gino gets 0 from 4 his average will be 4.82. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baldyman 6,243 Posted May 9, 2014 Would take rosen, what's his average? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted May 9, 2014 This is where speedway and Ipswich do my head in. Newcastle have made changes because they think they can improve, but they drew with us on our own track with only 5 of their riders, but we will just struggle on and probably take some more beatings. So if Newcastle were a weak team, what does that make us? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CardinalSin 346 Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) This is where speedway and Ipswich do my head in.

So if Newcastle were a weak team, what does that make us?I do agree we are, and have always been very slow to make changes in the hope of improving. People will counter with the argument that it's very early to make changes and riders should be given longer to prove themselves. But tell that to the clubs that have already made changes to try and be the best that they can be. Somerset are another who have a reputation for being ruthless, but the fact is they are successful for being that way. Some clubs show ambition and a determination to be successful, others not so much... By the way, very handy that King will get his over inflated converted average down with Newcastle, to fit in nicely as Witches number 1 next season Edited May 9, 2014 by CardinalSin 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted May 10, 2014 I can see a few other so called elite league stars dropping down in the future also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BluTiger 21,697 Posted May 10, 2014 Wot average would Thorssell come in on? Around 8.55 i believe.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted May 10, 2014 I don't suppose it really matters what average any rider comes in on, let's face it, changes won't be made unless we lose the next 6 odd matches, or until it would be too late. Seen it far to often. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Super Blue 616 Posted May 10, 2014 And when we did make a change one year wasn't it Lanham in Doolan out ? And wow , how much did that strengthen the team ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CardinalSin 346 Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) Also last year Hawkins came in for Makinen but again nothing earth shattering. Difference last year though was the team was going well up until the play offs and nothing really needed changing. What annoys most is when the team is clearly lacking and not looking good enough, and nothing or very little is done. There are other teams in the same boat just look at the Rye threads. They also don't seem to make season changing changes and persevere with poor displays and performances from individuals for far too long. As I said earlier, some promotions are ambitious and determined to be successful and are quite ruthless in the process, others seem happy to plod along regardless as long as sufficient numbers keep coming through the gate.

Baldyman 6,243 Posted May 10, 2014 I think you just hit the nail bang on the head. Whilst there are the enough fans coming through the turnstile, changes are very unlikely. Well done to those that are ambitious, but I guess being ambitious takes more out of the profits. For me though I want my team to win or at least do what they can to win. I must also add, that the one rider I wouldn't change at the moment is morten, which is not a view I normally hold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
