spin king 1,923 Posted March 6, 2023 7 minutes ago, HGould said: Very surprising. Completely lost form and confidence last few seasons he rode and from memory lots of shoulder issues. I'm assuming he's living in UK and not riding in Oz, so whilst a cheap option it's hard to get enthused. Can understand saving the pennies but I wonder how many matches he will actually ride in. Ty lives in Sheffield he is as far as I am aware living with his girlfriend Chelsea the daughter of Kelly Moran. He has been working for the Bates family.

Diamonds85 700 Posted March 6, 2023 People may not be impressed with this signing, but if you look at the other reserves in the league he's better than most (Not Zaine Kennedy, Jacob Hook, arguably Lee Complin, Kyle Newman, Jason Edwards, Joe Thompson perhaps), and if he can capture ANY sort of form should be pushing the likes of Alfie for that main body position again. I still think Birmingham's team looks the weakest in the league however... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Think Proctor is the best 4.00 rider available tbh, he averaged 4.55 (5.52) in 2022, which is far better than Hook 2.78 (3.44) for example! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
szkocjasid 3,042 Posted March 6, 2023 I think Proctor is a sensible choice, especially riding at reserve. Although his form in the French meeting, would put me off a little. But if the option was Proctor who lives over here vs Manzares who would have to be flown from Sweden for each match, I'd 100% be going for Ty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goret is a much better rider abroad, and Proctor is probably a much better rider over here 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
