Najjer 2,913 Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) Strange decision to drop Tungate now when he has just achieved a new average. I can only assume without doing the numbers that he will be reintroduced into the side for Heeps once Hougaard and Wright achieve their new averages? Bringing in Lawson is a good move though and should strengthen the top end of the side up. Edited May 15, 2017 by Najjer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hyabb17 1,077 Posted May 15, 2017 Are these changes to the 50 point mark or the first official averages as I note that Somerset have rode 4h & 4a. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Najjer 2,913 Posted May 15, 2017 Are these changes to the 50 point mark or the first official averages as I note that Somerset have rode 4h & 4a. I assume as the press release says subject to BSPA approval, as our 8th match was at Wolves last Monday our new averages take effect from today - therefore it must be using the new averages.

Flappy 1,609 Posted May 15, 2017 Starke has been doing well in the championship but struggling in the league above. What average would Tungate drop down on now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poole keith 912 Posted May 15, 2017 not mind blowing changes,someone will take a punt on tungate on a 5 something ave?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,714 Posted May 15, 2017 Bold move again by Somerset as ever. Fair play to them. Good luck to Cam. Pleased he has got his chance in the top league despite my own view that double up should be Brits only. Strange decision to drop Tungate now when he has just achieved a new average.

Re Tungate - I dont think reintroduction like that is allowed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foamfence 2,917 Posted May 15, 2017 It still looks a bit leaderless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cliffeboy 577 Posted May 15, 2017 Big change down at the OTA, feel sorry for Starke he will be snapped up at reserve and will do a great job, " Belle Vue" if he fits. Rohan just is not the same so half expected this, tough on Jan if the others had done their bit I think he would have been ok. Good luck to the new arrivals.

Fromafar 10,464 Posted May 15, 2017 It's all a bit farcical these average rules! Somersets initial Team was always just a good Championship side,should have stayed down IMO . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Najjer 2,913 Posted May 15, 2017 Bold move again by Somerset as ever. Fair play to them. Good luck to Cam. Pleased he has got his chance in the top league despite my own view that double up should be Brits only. Re Tungate - I dont think reintroduction like that is allowed. Think it's been done before. Didn't Scunthorpe do it before? Is there a rule preventing it? Almost seems too much of a coindence. I'm majorly surprised Tungate was able to complete his 4H 4A if weren't planning on hanging onto him. I haven't looked at the figures and don't know what Heeps has been signed on, but something seems abit fishy to me. Rye house away this weekend which Heeps rode all of last season. That will also see Hougaard and Wright complete their required matches too which are both going to drop. We then go to Swindon on bank holiday... now who piled up the points at reserve for Swindon last season? Hmmmm! If it is allowed and the averages work, could of been an absolute blinder that by the Somerset promotion. It's all a bit farcical these average rules! Somersets initial Team was always just a good Championship side,should have stayed down IMO . Give over. We've been about 2 or 3 points, which has usually been through engine failures or falls whilst winning, from changing our 3 home losses to home wins. Crowds have been good, racing has been even better, there is no way we should of hung around in the 2nd tier after clearing up last year again, to have a local derby with Peterborough! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,452 Posted May 15, 2017 Tungate has not lived up to his billing. Poor from him this season. Really suprised he has actually got a team berth for Lodz in Poland to be honest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keef robin 551 Posted May 15, 2017 As soon as I saw Tunno at number 1 I thought they're gonna be in trouble. Lucky for them that Josh and Patrick have improved. A good move for the Rebs to move up, with local derbies against Swindon and Poole, the Championship is too northerly based for them. How many more fans are they getting in the top div?

Hamish McRaker 604 Posted May 15, 2017 I think Graversen should be allowed to ride in the NL the rest of this season, if he wants to. Probably invested in new equipment after a year out and now been completely kippered. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
