Sidney the robin 4,735 Posted February 16, 2016 I think that's the main thing as Dak would've looked to up his average to 7 or above & I can't see Rohan doing that. Hope I'm proved wrong & he will have my support as totally understand the club going with a rider based in Britain. I am not convinced North would average much above seven to be honest. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy robin 2,963 Posted February 16, 2016 I am not convinced North would average much above seven to be honest. The other 4 riders need to swap around during the season & we're going to struggle in Heats 13 & 15. All opinions but this team will be good to watch but will be massively inconsistent as well. Will be a push to reach the play offs in my view & just don't think there's enough big race winners. Hope I'm wrong though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Siggytastic 180 Posted February 17, 2016 Will Tungate be able to do a whole meeting at a big track without the arm pump that cost us last season? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foreverblue 6,096 Posted February 17, 2016 North is no world beater, and Tungate could surprise, being at Somerset will help i believe he will score big points there. I agree North is no world beater but he is still a lot better than Tungate. Tungate is inconsistant even at PL level. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EnglishRoundabout 1,752 Posted February 17, 2016 I agree North is no world beater but he is still a lot better than Tungate. Tungate is inconsistant even at PL level. Tungate is younger and has had a promising season in Oz. North was also very inconsistent at PL level. Maybe not as good as North just yet, but potential to become better I reckon.

Baldyman 6,243 Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) Are you sure rohan is younger? Or are you guessing? I'm sure rohan may actually be older Edited February 17, 2016 by baldyman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZODIAK 304 Posted February 17, 2016 People shouldn't get too hung up when it comes to riders' ages. Tungate despite being older, is a lot less experienced when it comes to speedway. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sidney the robin 4,735 Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) Not even close to being younger then.Baldy I guess you have never been a fan of Rohan? you are not really convinced with him.In speedway terms is he that experienced? for me he needed a change and I believe he will score big at Somerset and do well at Swindon .At his best he is there with Morris,North (ect so a big season for him I think he should of left Ipswich a year or so ago in my exsperience Foxhall Ipswich was always as slick as a board.

Foxhall slick? Tungate would love it if he was, but it wasn't much to his dismay, and at times he was rather vocal about it, too! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Foxhall when I went there i know it was centuries ago but it was a dust bowl a poor track rough as F... if you look at Tungates results on the bigger tracks mixed results i know but at times he showed real quality.

There is no way Sid, even at his best, that Tungate could be classed in that bracket. Morris was no 1 last season, he struggled admittedly, but Tungate nowhere even close!
