Noodles 1,337 Posted December 3, 2017 Eddie KENNETT ........... 8.31 Todd KURTZ ................. 5.23 Nike LUNNA .................. 5.90 Michael PALM TOFT ..... 6.77 Ulrich OSTERGAARD.... 7.12 Simon LAMBERT .......... 4.56 Emil GRONDAL ............ 4.39 42.28 Do you know what, I'd take that. We would at least see the same team week in week out. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Panthers89 1,922 Posted December 3, 2017 with the signings so far, I just can't see enough improvement between all of them..... Lunna 5.90 - I think he could up his average by 0.5, will be box office atleast. MPT 6.77 - I don't see much improvement there, might push 7.00, but could go missing. Ully 7.12 - as a second heatleader, only going down sadly, 6.50 come the end of the season. Lambert 4.56 - if he avoids his normal injury, he could push 5.50, but needs to improve away from home. Grondal 4.39 - might push 5.00, but on last seasons form, that might be a struggle We need a leader as our number 1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lukas 911 Posted December 3, 2017 Not for me..I'd rather go Nicholls/Smith Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Panthers89 1,922 Posted December 3, 2017 Not for me..I'd rather go Nicholls/Smith I'd like Hans/Smith personally, but Scotty would be great aswell. We just need a rider similar to that IMO 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allthegearbutnaeidea 1,734 Posted December 3, 2017 I'd say Kennett's average has a lot more scope for improvement than Nicholls or Andersen and can get a second string as the other instead of a number 7... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lukas 911 Posted December 3, 2017 Id like Hans also but he rides on Sundays in Poland so unless they change to Friday nights can't see it happening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flappy 1,605 Posted December 3, 2017 Kennett would score well everywhere imo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Panthers89 1,922 Posted December 3, 2017 But if he had a choice of us or Lakeside, I know what would win. Also, is he wanting to ride this season? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevehone 3,429 Posted December 3, 2017 think Kennett is getting more into grasstrack/longtrack now too so possibly Sunday clashes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arch Stanton 2,255 Posted December 3, 2017 Lunna 5.90 - I think he could up his average by 0.5, will be box office atleast. Personally I think it’s just as important to include riders who entertain as much as those that will improve their average. Reading the fans opinions on here at both Lunna’s previous two clubs, both seemed pretty gutted that he wasn’t returning. That’s always a good sign. I think he’ll be a big crowd favourite at the Showground and the track will suit him perfectly. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its certainly a balance you need to find now, apart from Lunna there isnt really an entertainer, MPT sometimes, so lets hope Lunna is a looney Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tsunami 10,219 Posted December 3, 2017 Its certainly a balance you need to find now, apart from Lunna there isnt really an entertainer, MPT sometimes, so lets hope Lunna is a looney Lunna is a wild rider who always does his best. He will continue to try, but occasionally gets hurt. With Lambert also in your team that might be a bit risky. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Throw in Emil and Ully, who can be erratic as anything, hope the masseuse is at the ready! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
New era Panthers 2,055 Posted December 3, 2017 I'm not keen on Kennett due to his silencer cheating a few years ago but he did have a 9.27 average with Rye House in 2016 so IMO worth a punt on 8.31 As for Kurtz I'm not looking at his away form ... we need riders who go well at home so maybe you should take a look at Todds performances for Plymouth at the Showground in 2016 :-) .... 5.23 = bargain I'm well aware of how he rides the showground and it was not meant to be a criticism I was just pointing out that he may be lacking a bit on away tracks, not sure about your belief he's a bargain , I have heard several times riders on a bargain average but the truth is they are on that average because that is a true reflection of there worth.
