  1. Looking at who's available under the average limit, it could be any of these: Victor Palovaara Andre Compton Josef Franc Kalle Katajisto Anton Rosen Steen Jensen Mathieu Tresarrieu Anders Thomsen Linus Eklof Jozsef Tabaka Steve Boxall Rasmus Jensen Plenty of names, but not many that stand out. Anders Thomsen would be one, but I know he's already doing quite a few leagues. I'd for Compton or Rosen.
  2. Does anyone know if the Aussie champs going to be streamed live online again this year? I think last year it was on that speedway gone wild website?
  3. Josh Auty's reckless move on Kenny Ingalls at Derwent Park in 2012 was one of the worst i've seen, Ingalls hasn't rode since. There was also the incident when Auty was riding in the second half as a junior 15/16 year old and rode across the centre green into one of the start gate staff and broke his leg, i remember thinking he was uncontrollable then.
  4. Ipswich Workington Glasgow Sheffield Peterborough Newcastle Edinburgh Plymouth Somerset Rye House Scunthorpe Berwick Redcar Impossible to predict really, but all for a bit of fun...
  5. Andy Murray was a much deserved winner, I was in Belgium for the Davis Cup final and his appreciation of the thousands of British fans in attendance was fantastic, he was still there in the arena walking round the crowd taking pictures signing autographs etc. for more than 90 minutes after the trophy was presented. A fine example of a Sports Personality in my eyes.
  6. The Adam Ellis situation seems strange to me, Is it possibly a case of him not wanting to ride PL, because he'd be a great signing for any club on his average. I find it hard to believe he isn't being contacted by PL promoters. Logistically I don't think a move to one of the northern clubs seems to appeal to him, maybe he has other non speedway commitments.
  7. A very good signing to complete the team , Ty Proctor is not a rider we've seen a lot of at Derwent Park down the years, his last appearance was in 2011 when he scored 8+1 guesting for us at Number 1. Before that it's almost 7 years since he last rode against us at Derwent Park in 2009 for Redcar in a team that also included a certain Mr Stonehewer.
  8. Campton has hardly had a chance yet compared to most, his spells in Britain have been stop start due to Visa issues, and even the season he had in 2014 was stop start due to him carrying an injury from June and Comets not having a fixture for 6 weeks at one stage. The guy is only 22, and has shown his potential with great results in the National and State Championships over the last 2/3 years, no reason why he won't add to his average next year, he was averaging 6.85 in 2014 in the main body of the team up until around June when the fixture situation and an injury knock didn't exactly help.
  9. You will be pleased then as you must like watching rubbish, with all the same old sludge Rye House have kept signing down the years.
  10. It's the best one they've done yet by far, again these games can be completed fairly quick though. Does anyone know how actually to gate on it???
  11. This game is now up on Steam, http://store.steampowered.com/app/348820/?snr=1_7_7_comingsoon_150_1 And it says available in approximately 10 hours, online multiplayer might be interesting. Also they now have an official website for the game http://sgp15.com
  12. Very pleased with the signing of Vissing, we have 11.87 left now, Dan mentioned that the next should be known by mid-december after the Aus Championships, I reckon it will be 2 aussies depending on those State Championship results, Campton (5.00) and Ty Proctor (6.68)
  13. We may agree to disagree, but I don't see how people are tipping Liam Carr to be the best Number 7 in the PL. He may well be in the top 5, but Matt Williamson had time to settle in at Workington last year and he's back again, averages a point more than Carr in the NL, and already has a double figure score in the PL. Can only see him really improve next year, just like the other ex-motocross riders that have transferred to speedway in the past. But hey... i'm sure both sets of fans will be biased
  14. At least the Bandits are back next season, the PL wouldn't be same without them. But unfortunately the team announced wouldn't fill me with confidence, no real punch at the top end.
  15. Assuming Campton is signing, I can't see us signing Rosen, Sarjeant, Palovaara or any other 5 point average rider. It would leave us with 9.5 or more points to play with for the last rider, there isn't many of those riders around and available to travel up to Workington, i.e King, Kennett. It is more likely to be two 6 or 7 point riders to complete the 7. I'm pretty certain Ricky Wells will be Number 1 again.
  16. For the final septet how about this; 1 Ricky Wells 8.86 2 Mason Campton 4.66 3 Kenneth Hansen 6.84 4 Richie Worrall 6.84 5 Nick Morris 7.91 6 Adam Roynon 4.39 7 Matt Williamson 3.00 Averages total to Exactly 42.50
  17. Won't be back, and wouldn't want him back no consistency and usually fails to produce away from home
  18. From the averages, I picked out this team, I reckon 4 of last seasons team will be back next year. 1 Ricky Wells 8.86 2 Matty Wethers 4.96 3 Kenneth Hansen 6.84 4 David Bellego 5.98 5 Nick Morris 7.91 / Thomas Jorgensen 7.80 6 Robin Aspegren 4.82 / Mason Campton(Visa?) 4.66 7 Matt Williamson 3.00
  19. Of course, money talks! But I don't think we'll ever see Lawson guesting for the Comets again, probably a mutual feeling both ways.
  20. Strange to see Lawson back riding for the Bears after Havelock criticized him after he decided not to return! I hope Matty Wethers goes well, we need Redcar to win by 7+ if the Comets are to have any chance at all of finishing 6th.
  21. Probably going to be a rain off this, looking bleak at the moment.
  22. Absolutely terrible, never make the play offs this team, Matthew Wethers why is he in the team? Can't even cut it at reserve, was abysmal when I was at Glasgow on Sunday
  23. The rearranged lineup only take effect from Saturday, so on Friday at Somerset Hansen will still be at No1, no Rusty, and reserves are Williamson and Dan Greenwood. Basically got no chance tomorrow! Hansen will only be at reserve for 3 matches, so a lot will depend on how Matty Wethers does at reserve, I think he'll do pretty well seems to be getting back up to speed over the last few matches.
  24. Should be a good meeting against the Witches on Saturday, with a new line up announced tonight for the Comets it certainly looks stronger than we have so far this season. Rusty Harrison makes a welcome return and Kenneth Hansen drops to reserve! Expected line ups in riding order Comets 1. Kyle Howarth 2. Rusty Harrison 3. Rene Bach 4. Matty Wethers 5. Ricky Wells 6. Nicki Barrett 7. Kenneth Hansen Witches 1. Danny King 2. Gino Manzares 3. Nico Covatti 4. R/R 5. Rohan Tungate 6. Stefan Nielsen Guest tbc 7. Ritchie Hawkins Thoughts?
