madsteve 52 Posted February 27, 2016 What about anton Rosen? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marksman 536 Posted February 27, 2016 Looking at who's available under the average limit, it could be any of these: Victor Palovaara Andre Compton Josef Franc Kalle Katajisto Anton Rosen Steen Jensen Mathieu Tresarrieu Anders Thomsen Linus Eklof Jozsef Tabaka Steve Boxall Rasmus Jensen Plenty of names, but not many that stand out. Anders Thomsen would be one, but I know he's already doing quite a few leagues. I'd for Compton or Rosen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenga 2,998 Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) my choice would be victor palovarra on a 5.28 average . i know its going to be under the 42.50 limit , but if victor improves his average a wee bit ,as do the rest. come mid may we may still be able to fit ty in and hopefully he can improve . i know its a gamble. the other option is andre compton who could do a good job , but there is an element of doubt on his away meetings. victor has proved he can do it when he guested for us @ edinburgh and is looking for a pl place . anton rosen is another as you say marksman, but a bit low on confidence at the moment . . ty proctor vanishes from the worky team line up. enter andre palovaara .

Olga 31 Posted March 2, 2016 I wouldn't go back to Andre ... last time he was with us he was inconsistent and poor ... yes occasional big home scores and yes the occasional superb race ... but more often than not he never showed up. He reduced his average and went back to Sheffield ... he'll do the same again. I watched him away on numerous occasions the worst was as our Captain and number 5 (PLRC winner etc etc) tootling around behind Rye House make shift Nat League reserves. He has no loyalty to us and will use us to get what he wants elsewhere .... so not for me. Rosen perhaps .... point to prove etc but never Andre Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StevePark 2,783 Posted March 2, 2016 What speedway rider does have loyalty nowadays? not many around It often comes down to figures, as to whether a rider remains with a club, or not, so it's so often hard to judge if a rider is loyal, or not, as it's taken out of his hands.

To The Point 356 Posted March 2, 2016 Not a lot of loyalty in Speedway, don't blame the riders short career run by bandits Whats loyalty got to do with anything in the speedway world. They are self employed riders plying their trade to earn a living, if they can earn a better living by moving teams, then so be it. It is up to the employer to either step up to the plate, or seek other riders who will ride at their rates of pay 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

screm 8,057 Posted March 2, 2016 If Workington still intend bringing back Proctor in May, once he gets his visa, they will need to be wary of signing a rider who will use them for a bit of average fiddling, though its not as easy as it once was thanks to these rolling averages. Maybe they would be better forgetting about Proctor and just sign a rider for the season. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe they would be better forgetting about Proctor and just sign a rider for the season. I don't think that the average of one rider would make much difference, but the averages of the 6 riders (not inc. the number 7) added together might. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenga 2,998 Posted March 2, 2016 its a bit nip and tuck fitting mr proctor back inti the 1/7 in may .all it takes is adam,kenneth or even matt w to hit some form and its goodnight ty . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T.N.T. 355 Posted March 5, 2016 I don't know if it fits but can I recommend Tobiasz Musielak who averaged 4.79 for Wolverhampton last season and while he struggled at home, he was excellent away and the Workington track would suit him fine. If he fits, he would be a great signing and when Proctor comes back it could be someone else to move out as I am confident he would be a great rider in the Premier League.

Premier League clubs can't sign Polish riders, unless they are on an ACU license. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
