In a weaker league, I think Kerr is a surefire number one, but I'd pick King & Wright before him. Edited October 17, 2023 by szkocjasid 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Biffa 84 Posted October 17, 2023 As a supporter watching him he does seem to be inconsistent when the team is under pressure. Pretty much always gets a tapes warning most meetings as well. Maybe Lee Complin taking him from behind, under pressure,in the Play Offs put paid to his Oxford job. Who knows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree when the pressure is on.You can’t argue with his average though,it’s always been decent. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisa-colette 6,035 Posted October 18, 2023 (edited) Wright, Flint and Brennan as top 3? Edit - plus am I right in thinking Edwards is on a 2 year deal? So after adding him in leaves 12.06 for 3 riders. Think that would be pretty strong in 38 limit. Edited October 18, 2023 by lisa-colette Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Risky but they are 2 riders on the up but can’t see Brennan coming to us not with his “friendship” with Charles Edited October 18, 2023 by Redtruck 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yearbyred 1,107 Posted October 18, 2023 So assuming its 38 point limit (36 and a 2 point rider) how about:- Wright King Flint Hume Edwards Mulford 2 pointer (Harrison?) Assuming I've used the right averages I think it fits. Not saying it is what I'd choose but would be ok with that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would like to see Riss back as I think if fully fit would be a strong heat leader in a weaker league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you could guarantee he would be fully fit and back to the rider he was, then I’d have no issue with him coming back. Just not sure he will but time will tell. Just thought a change of track might help him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Biffa 84 Posted October 19, 2023 I know we are all speculating about signings etc but the most depressing thing in my mind is going to be the actual strength of the league. Basically it is going to be similar to our play off team this year with a No1, 2 lesser “heat leaders” and second string/Reserves similar to this year. Only thing is everyone is in the same boat.

That would be a very strong top 3 and 12.06 for a no. 2 and two reserves should be adequate for next season. I feel Redcar are on the cusp of something and maybe next season will be a winning one.

Yearbyred 1,107 Posted October 19, 2023 Like others have said, I’d be very surprised to see Brennan in the Redcar team next year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But it's very hard not to compare next year's teams to this year's. In a weaker league could be a decent heat leader trio. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
