Bears tore into Edinburgh from heat one and never let up. Pickering the only rider who looked capable of winning. Although paco did at least try. Charles hard on pickering in heat 13 but what josh did next he should receive a big fine at least. Petulant and dangerous riding round the inside slowly and parking his bike sideways on the start finish line. For the bears Bailey was outstanding likewise wright and king. Great support from Edwards, hume and riss with luke Harrison also picking up a paid win. Never seen Edinburgh that bad or where we that good ?? Cook's best bikes were not on Teeside, which was a real shame. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely someone like Jack Smith for example would be a major upgrade. I'm surprised Wood has lasted this long, I think many assumed he was a brief signing till they found their preferred 2.00 rider. Can't be Jack Smith he's got a 3.00 average. Should sign Ashton Boughen when he turns 16. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m sure Boughen has plenty of offers as he turns 16 in a few days and I’m sure he’ll go the highest bidder, if riding in Scotland won’t be us. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bringbackHalifax 238 Posted August 11, 2023 Ashton Boughen off to Glasgow with a very nice signing on fee that will dwarf anything any number one has received this season….. and he will be reserve. Piper or Complin is the dilema 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Piper or Complin is the dilemma He is the real deal. I saw him at the back end of last year and was impressed. His showing for the Lion Cubs have been outstanding at times. To beat Dan Thompson in recent times has been even more impressive given Dan's improvement since leaving the Lions. I'm not expecting miracles from Ashton, this year, stepping up into the Championship. But he will surprise a few, for sure. I wish he was riding in my team next year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When Borke was introduced on 9th June together with Wood, the impression was that DW would be a temporary replacement until a more promising 2 pointer could be recruited. Since then the likes of Sam Hagon & Luke Harrison were recruited later by Birmingham & Redcar respectively, and 2 months on we are still no further forward in bringing in a competitive number seven. It's unfair on Dayle Wood who is out his depth in the Championship and also short changing Monarchs fans knowing their seventh rider will trail in last in his required three match heats. I wonder how much effort has been made since 9th June to find better or are the Promotion content to go with this cheaper local option for the rest of 2023?

Piper or Complin is the dilema I've read multiple times on here that Boughen will be going to Glasgow, but can't see how he will fit in their team? I got the impression Pijper's place was secure (long term plan) and can't see them dropping a 3.6 rider for Boughen. Also is Boughen that much better than Pijper? They have similar averages in the NL. If Pijper was dropped (& still on a 2.00 ave) I'm sure Edinburgh would snap him up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ryan Kinsley must be the best 2.00 left, they could also sign Harrison though, he's only guesting for Redcar! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So what's being said is Cook only has one decent bike. Worrying for Edinburgh. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
