Steve0 5,517 Posted May 19, 2017 Can Rohan get temporary British nationality in the next few days Do you think he is the solution to our problems? He was dropped from Somerset for a reason although we all know from experience that when he is on it he can be nigh on unbeatable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grachan 7,362 Posted May 19, 2017 Can Rohan get temporary British nationality in the next few days  It appears there are less hurdles to bringing in Rohan than we first thought. BWD can be included among our NL eligible riders. There's nothing in the rules about having to be British.  18.7.1 A SGB Premiership Team’s initial Declaration must not exceed 50.00 and include at least 2 riders who have competed in or are eligible to enter the National Development League(Conference League) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hyabb17 1,077 Posted May 19, 2017 Assuming you take Ellis & Gappmaier out that would give - 13.43 building to 50 points, Rohan will be 9.03 which would only leave 4.4, in my opinion it doesn't really help matters. Ideally you would want to push BWD to reserve so that said find an 8 pointer & a 5.4 pointer at 2.  I believe that until all teams have done 4h & 4a the 50 point limit & starting averages will be used. This is what Somerset have declared too even though they've done the 4h, 4a. Rohan will have an average of about 5 once that kicks in but who knows what the team building limit will be, my guess is 42.    It appears there are less hurdles to bringing in Rohan than we first thought.

He was dropped from Somerset for a reason although we all know from experience that when he is on it he can be nigh on unbeatable. Remember last year Rosco threatened him with an option buck up or go and look what he did, he improved no end. Rosco would know why he has been underperforming this year, It may just be that being number 1 has been too much for him.

Â Rohans 2017 av has dropped a lot and he seemed to be happy at Swindon, it depends if he gets on with Jason. The point is who else is there.

ProudtobeaBrummie 646 Posted May 20, 2017 So Tungate has signed for someone hes not announced who yet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lewy 2,326 Posted May 20, 2017 Personally I thought Bellego was an excellent signing after seeing him in the PLRC & at Redcar last year. The biggest suprise to me is Nick Morris, thought he was pretty average before this year. Bellego can be a serious & determined guy, maybe rubbing off on Morris if they are staying togetherBellego rubbing off on morris really!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poolebolton 464 Posted May 20, 2017 So Tungate has signed for someone hes not announced who yet Your welcome, will be Ellis i imagine and then I wonder if you bring someone in for Danny G. Maybe he was a stop gap and that's a 6 point UK rider. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MattK 3,447 Posted May 20, 2017 We'd have to replace Dany with a rider up to 3.38 in order to fit Tungate in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hagonshocker 1,956 Posted May 20, 2017 We'd have to replace Dany with a rider up to 3.38 in order to fit Tungate in.I'll volunteer....Query has Tungate kept the pic of him on his twitter account in his Swindon suit or is that a recent addition?? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
