SCB 0 Posted March 12, 2017 Give it a rest for god sake Robert signed for Rye House, Bates signed for Coventry. Hardly his fault Coventry folded, Robert will give it his best he didnt even have an EL team last year so a few guest rides can hardy be a fair guide. The Rye supporters are happy to have him so i guess as your not even a Rye supporter get over it. Darrell Branford Are my facts are wrong? Disprove them. I've given no opinion in my post, in fact elsewhere I've said in the forum he's a ok signing for Rye House. Doesn't change the fact that he's not better than Bates as claimed.

Ben91 1,743 Posted March 13, 2017 You Rye fans keep posting these "facts" about Brandord average butt they're all made up. Branford averaged 1.08/1.23 in the EL and 5.42/6.14 in the PL all from reserve. Bates was 4.76/5.08 and 5.53/6.12 so depending on what figure you use Bates is higher or the same yet Bates spent 95% on the PL season in the 1-5 and a few meetings in the Bees 1-5 but Branford spent all the season in reserve in both leagues, with one exception, one of his EL meeting was at #1. Fair play, all that said though I'd still take Branford any day of the week over Bates. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shale Searcher 1,264 Posted March 14, 2017 If you had seen his behaviour at Glasgow last season matured might not be the appropriate description. That was last season, not this season, I know it's months not years, but maturity can and does sometimes just "kick-in" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gazc 7,098 Posted March 14, 2017 That was last season, not this season, I know it's months not years, but maturity can and does sometimes just "kick-in" Hopefully prove people wrong including me as he has talent just his temperament that is suspect but he is still young ,still no excuse the way he behaved but with experience hopefully the maturity follows. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woz01 3,589 Posted March 14, 2017 No issues with Josh Bates at Coventry last season and to be honest I'm a huge fan of his now. Also I see this winter his took his fitness seriously so he seems to have matured. Hopefully he'll get a premiership spot soon enough, he could improve his average. Sorry Rye House fans back to you.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rayleigh 362 Posted March 14, 2017 Anybody who thinks they can win a battle between bone and concrete clearly does not have all his dogs barking. Branford for me but good luck Bates as well, as your performance at Rye late last season was way beyond anything I thought you would ever do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadders 4,134 Posted March 14, 2017 Team has been settled for months. Let's just get on with it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben91 1,743 Posted March 15, 2017 Team has been settled for months. Let's just get on with it Nothing wrong with discussion on a forum. Seeing teams declare their pairings for the pairs now, I wonder who we'll go with. I know Eddie starts the season as number one but I'd personally go for Bomber and Nicholls assuming is two from the top three. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oafski 174 Posted March 17, 2017 According to the website it's down to the Kevlars not being ready in time. Let's hope they dont have to resort to Body Painting the Lads in their undercrackers for the "Team Strip" photo. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
