Endeavour 684 Posted September 25, 2023 Following in Scunny’s footsteps (again) by starting this thread. Would love to see Sam back and Erik Riss if in full health along with Josh if he can be persuaded to return after this debacle of a season. None of the current team kicked on this season due to illness and injury but possibly Kye back. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bojangles 602 Posted September 25, 2023 What's the situation with Edinburgh racing in 2024? I know they got a stadium reprieve at Armadale, but is it all locked in and good to go for 2024? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nickinho 434 Posted September 25, 2023 I agree about Josh and Kye but i can't see Sam back for the same reason he left last year (young family based down south). Josh will have a much more attractive average next season than he was on at the start of this season and Rissy seems to have overcome all his ailments to look like a good quality rider again on a sub 7 point average. Kye is a known quality and will make a good number 4 but if they are to turn things around then the Monarchs will need to sign two decent reserves and not just wait to see who is left after all the other teams have brought theirs in. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Macca 34 Posted September 25, 2023 Rumours (and only rumours!!) that Sam has asked us about next season. Time will tell. Too many ifs and buts, probably, and mainly relying on Oxford moving up a league. Sam’s reason for moving was travel, but it’s not as if we’re riding every Friday night these days and will be less if any clubs move to the premier league and are not replaced. Clutching at straws perhaps, but this would genuinely be one to get the fans feeling positive about next season. What’s the Richie Worrall situation?? Available for discussion?! Haha!

Get Worrell in another couple of years maybe. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wouldn’t say Josh’s average is much more attractive, it’s only 0.29 less than he started the season on. Riss is 7.35 so not quite the sub 7 you stated but I would definitely have him back on that average. I agree that Kye would make a good number 4 but there’s no way the averages will allow 3 heat leaders above him, think it’s best for him to move away for a season or two. We’ve been too loyal to the same riders over the last couple of years, it’s time for an overhaul. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope you are, we need the points! 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
