MrMungo 708 Posted December 8, 2014 Morley and Halsey are small track men and the latter has been around for an awful long time without getting any better. I'd have thought someone like Greaves, Kingston or Stokes would be a better bet, they are only ever going to improve. Halsey has made some large strides over the last couple of years. Changed tuners to Phil Crump (I think) a few seasons ago which really made a difference, and then he won the NLRC this season on a track he struggled to complete 4 laps on not so long ago. I think he's one of those slow and steady improvers, ala Starke. He's never going to become a world champion, but can be a dependable/solid PL rider if given the chance. It's not always what you do when you're a teenager that matters. If you saw Hans Andersen as a 12 or 13 year old, the question was not if he would become world champion, but how many times. Sadly it's not happened for him for whatever reason. Other riders like Bridger, Risager and Fisher have barely improved since their first seasons in the EL.

Panthers89 1,922 Posted December 8, 2014 Another rider who could be worth a punt, Facundo Albin, 3.62 average, showed glimpses for Sheffield, loves a big open track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Irk Deflector 130 Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) and that was back in the day, sadly you have to live for the moment, and for the moment we are in the premier league, so for the options available, you will see riders like Lambert linked with us, a case of deal with it comes to mind. Elite League isn't what its all cracked up to be, we all know that. All three (Crump, Sullivan and Pederson) started in the Premier League. Remember Nicki taking part in an Individual meeting at Alwalton the season before he signed for Newcastle - could never understand why we didn't get his signature given Ronni had riden for us for a couple of seasons.

Tsunami 10,219 Posted December 8, 2014 All three (Crump, Sullivan and Pederson) started in the Premier League. Remember Nicki taking part in an Individual meeting at Alwalton the season before he signed for Newcastle - could never understand why we didn't get his signature given Ronni had riden for us for a couple of seasons. A blank bit of paper was apparently shown on the centre green, as if Nicki had signed, but the proper forms were never completed. We were stuck for a heat leader in 1998, after not being able to announce at the AGM we were in, as the stadium was in hands of the liquidators. We were tipped off, and we ended up signing him. Sold him to Wolverhampton in the close season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Panthers89 1,922 Posted December 9, 2014 Not necessarily, might just be top heavy, a top 5 of Allen, Roynon, Lewis, Lambert, Ully...... wouldn't leave much at reserve, but think its do-able. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peterborough daz 220 Posted December 9, 2014 Todd Kurtz must be a target surely 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Panthers89 1,922 Posted December 9, 2014 Allen 8.93 Roynon 4.78 Lewis 6.30 Lambert 7.25 Ully 8.00 leaves 7.24 for reserves. Would prefer to have Olly leading the line, but agree, reckon we will have Ully at #1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
