  1. Brady is the obvious choice. His average just fits and Poole have no double up issues. I believe his problem is availability (in the short term at least). Perhaps we can guest or r/r for a few weeks and then give Brady a shout - I genuinely don't see any other options that would fit and do the job.
  2. It may not be the right time to point fingers but the club made commercial suicide this Winter by not attracting a major sponsor. We had members of the commercial team on the forum asking for sponsorship leads which just shows the level of incompetence in that area. The supporters were putting up serious money this year to help with the sponsorship side but it appears the club's commercial team haven't shown the same level of commitment. I have to say this is a strange time to do this given it follows a challenge match - They should have waited for the league campaign in my opinion as I'm certain they'd have got circa 1000 through the gate. I'm gutted, let's hope someone comes out of the woodwork to save the club.
  3. 1. Glasgow 2. Newcastle 3. Sheffield 4. Edinburgh 5. Plymouth 6. Somerset 7. Ipswich 8. Workington 9. Peterborough 10. Berwick 11. Scunthorpe 12. Rye House 13. Redcar
  4. Pretty much every season Somerset look strong on paper and generally deliver. This side looks pretty weak on paper compared to others and it may turn out to struggle but if I were a Rebels fan I'd be clambering to get to the Oak Tree as this team is going to produce some cracking racing win, lose or draw. With BWD, Zach and Allen they could yet be anything!
  5. Charlie Gjedde becomes a Devil on an average of 8.48... http://plymouthdevils.co/return-of-the-gjedde.html
  6. Jack Holder back at Plymouth on 7.10 - Confirmed on Facebook tonight
  7. Gjedde's last PL average was 9.22 for Rye House in 2012 according to the BSPA website.
  8. Indeed, including Ellis Perks we should be at 22.01 with 20.49 remaining.
  9. Confirmed in the local rag, I for one, am very pleased that young Perks is our three pointer.
  10. I think it totally depends on the rest of the side. We already have Simota plus we need a three pointer. Do we really want a tail of Simota, BWD and a three pointer? I'm not sure. If we went with BWD, Holder and a three pointer by my reckoning we'd have 8.39 for a number one. Get the three pointer and the number one right and we may be OK. That is of course a big IF as I'm convinced Holder is set to become a Rebel.
  11. On another note, Sam Simota returns... http://www.plymouthherald.co.uk/Simota-told-improve-away-form-signing/story-28192725-detail/story.html Signs on and told to improve, bizarre press statement.
  12. Nice lad but nowhere near the level required imo.
  13. So what if Holder were to start as number one? Clearly not ready just yet but would allow a great deal of strength in depth throughout the rest of the side. Zach W or Ellis P would be my choices for the number seven role. Hopefully more news soon...
  14. Yes this was something I noticed. All of those young Brits with PL averages in and around the four-point mark will probably be seen as 'unattractive' as teams will want a strong reserve partner for the three pointers. That said Edinburgh have re-signed Max Clegg so fingers crossed the rest all get clubs.
  15. Nice and tidy start to team building with Newman and Kurtz on board, now hopefully young Mr Holder will return...
  16. I wonder if we could poach one of the Rebels top two? Brady or Josh at number one...
  17. Top five is decent but no thanks to the reserves.
  18. Looking forward to seeing the official press release for this as that is a cracking start to team building. Now get Holder signed up...
  19. So it was confirmed at the last meeting of the season that Plymouth will be back in the PL next season, which is great news!! Can they build on the playoff success of 2015? So the question now is who stays and who goes? But of course that is all dependent on the rules for 2016 which should become clear shortly. For me... Retain - Holder, Newman, Kurtz Unsure - Eklof, Risager Replace - Simota, Fisher
  20. So Doolan and Hansen are our guests for the weekend following Fisher deciding it was now too cold in the UK or something like that. Unfortunately due to the late time in the season and also because of Fisher's low average (for a number one) we are somewhat limited to the guests out there. Doolan is run of the mill but Hansen did at least bag 10 at Ashfield for Worky earlier in the season so hopefully a decent choice. Fisher won't be a huge miss at home but away he'll be a big miss and will undoubtedly cost us the tie over the two legs unless the rest of the team improve their performance from the last visit to Glasgow. Very sad end to a belter of a campaign. Devils by six at home, Tigers by 12 up north, hopefully it's t'other way round
  21. Very true HT, I've not slagged off Fisher just not praised him yet because I still think there is more to come. He has improved and I'm sure all Devils fans would agree with that but in my opinion he is only just getting to the level he should be at. But there is more to be positive about that's for sure.
  22. The reaction of Plymouth fans when Fisher was signed was mixed to be fair so I'm not that surprised by him not getting that much praise. Some said they didn't want him as he was dangerous, others were looking forward to the entertainment he provides because of his fearless attitude. Personally I haven't praised Fisher because he is yet to score the sort of points I expect him to. He is still beaten by most number ones most of the time and struggles against other heat leaders home and away. I expect better especially at home.
