Speedball 566 Posted January 27, 2017 I was told the announcement would be at the end of the month so should be soon. Two riders sharing the spot last I heard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rusky 113 Posted January 27, 2017 Having spent a bit of time in Sweden that year,a certain Mr Hellsen wasn't still riding then was he? He was, but was with Dennis and the Swedish team. Test matches versus Denmark, Swedish league and Inter Continental final I think it was Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ashtree123 73 Posted January 27, 2017 Isn't it about time the Stars named there number 7 ? The longer they wait to sign someone the less riders there will be to pick from and there isn't too many left. Josh Baily and Ryan Kingsley will be named soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Scrutton 180 Posted January 27, 2017 The reason for a delay on a No 7 must be the very low average left. you could name a lot of riders but all must be well over the limit allowed. The delay could mean that they are assessing Josh's fitness and I think it will be him if has recovered 100% if not it might be Ryan. He made big strides last season.

Bagpuss 10,784 Posted January 28, 2017 I think it's too soon for Kinsley. Maybe they are waiting to see who Belle Vue use as their number seven as Williamson would fit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waytogo28 2,054 Posted January 28, 2017 I am confident that Troy will raise his average by possibly two points this year. But he IS a mood rider and when not in the mood for whatever reason he does not perform and comes across as not trying to perform. which is what frustrates fans. He can be a world beater from time to time but you don't want to be relying on him to win vital heats. I hope that, if fit, the Stars go with Josh Bailey as he is at least as good ( around Saddlebow Rd ) as many of the announced reserves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daniel Smith 5,666 Posted January 28, 2017 I'm not sure how a shared No7 will work as it doesn't seem part of the regulations as no other club has taken up that option. If that was a rule to do that the better rider's would have been sucked up already by the bigger clubs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The one with a higher average will be declared in the 1 to 7 and guessing the other will be named as No 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Scrutton 180 Posted January 28, 2017 Does any one know what is the points limit for a No 7 as I have seen more than one on different line ups ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waiheke1 4,295 Posted January 29, 2017 Does any one know what is the points limit for a No 7 as I have seen more than one on different line ups ??The minimum is 2. No maximum though I guess technically 7.14 is the max value. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
