Mr Blobby 2,662 Posted November 18, 2016 If so it will have been an illegal approach as Workington have first call on him till 30th November. Surely the former chairman and current president of the BSPA wouldn't be involved in that! Lol Yet you've been talking to Bewley. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gazc 7,098 Posted November 19, 2016 Yet you've been talking to Bewley. No sh*t sherlock everyone and there granny knew that one. And it is more than talk thought you more than us mere mortals would have known that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good to see young/inexperienced British riders getting a chance again. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Davey does come in on a 2pt average it will make a mockery of the system, up and coming, young British rider he ain`t. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Particularly as he has a PL figure from 2013. He first rode over here in 2008 (on an assessed average as an Australian) and hasn't made the grade nine seasons later, no way should he be taking a number seven slot next year. No issue with Edinburgh using him by any means but it shouldn't be as their mandatory British reserve. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ironically it appears he hasn't actually ridden a full season since he was the only ever present rider in the Glasgow team of 2009, seems to have had quite a lot of fairly serious injuries since. Think with all the doubling up going on due to rider shortages, fans would be glad to see any rider sticking at a sport we all love.

TheScotsman 2,483 Posted November 19, 2016 Count the months/years the lad has missed through injury. Look at the pics of his injuries. I would rather he packed it in while he's still in one piece but mega respect that he still has the guts and desire to keep on in the sport. And he's willing to take a reserve berth in the far flung northern empire that is Armadiddle. Too many others aren't so willing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tyretrax 2,253 Posted November 19, 2016 Does he not stay in Glasgow?. That's not far from Armadale as any Monarchs fan can tell you. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheScotsman 2,483 Posted November 20, 2016 Yes he is local. But too many are not willing to make the trip. And he seems a nice guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
