  1. I get that. But is it worth risking for a struggling rider who's in his 40's knowing he's got no long term future in the sport? I'd be calling it a day and making sure I get out in one piece if I was in his position as I wouldn't see the value in continuing at that age just for a 2-4 point return per an evening.
  2. Who else is leaving KL? Laguta for KK doesn't come close fitting in with the points limit.
  3. Just for interest, Which option are you taking up? Take the overall picture into consideration though rather than selecting a particular option due to a big name rider, Laguta would come at a cost and I don't just mean a financial cost. Option A - Laguta at No.1, Ben Cook having to ride in the 1-5 and a struggling Hans Andersen at reserve (Laguta massive name but you're also throwing Ben Cook in at the deep end that could easily go south like asking Basso to ride as a HL, Also sacrificing a stronger No.6 who can take up to 7 rides a night for a struggling Hans Andersen who's best days are long gone) Option B - Taranseko and Tungate in the 1-5 with Ben Cook remaining at reserve (Two engine room riders although the former will probably be at No.1 but the latter puts up Double figures regularly around Peterborough, B. Cook remains at reserve by taking up to 7 rides a night as well which means less rides for an underperforming rider like Worrall or NKI if they don't find form) For me, Option B looks the better fit considering the problems we've got with other riders in our team.
  4. More likely imo. For what it's worth I think it's Tungate to Panthers, Tarasenko to KL and that's it because that's how Buster operates with his budget 1-7's imo. Laguta for KK wouldn't even come close to fitting in with the points limit either.
  5. Buster operates on a budget so it's very unlikely to be Laguta imo. Buster putting up serious cash all in one go for an expensive Laguta, Tungate, KK, Tarasenko while flying in other EU based riders every week isn't how Buster runs his clubs. Makes no financial sense either as he'll just lose a lot of money.
  6. Who's getting axed at KL then? Klindt?
  7. Because age has caught up with him, May as well call it a day now while he's still in one piece instead of carrying on considering how dangerous this sport can be.
  8. I didn't do the exactly, I cashed out just before the market closed for my full stake (£45.50) on the overs. I invested too much into the TV meeting in the end which led to me having a couple of last minute re-shuffles on the night. Only bet I left on from the Panthers & Wolves meetings in the end was Schlein on the unders as I was very confident on that (Didn't work out well haha)
  9. Much more like it and it fixes a lot of problems. 1. Tarasenko 7.00 Assessment? 2. R. Worrall (Finally reverts back to his comfort zone and his level at No.2 rather than riding out of position at No.3 or 4.) 3. NKI (Should be better in the engine room away from Ht 13) 4. Basso (Pressure finally eased of his young shoulders by reverting back to a second string role) 5. Tungate (Proper HL around Peterborough who'll win races for fun) 6. B. Cook (Stays at reserve for a bit longer) 7. JJ (Best RS in the league)
  10. BSN is the way forward for the sport because Eurosport coverage isn't good imo. Leicester are finally doing what I expected from them this season, The team are now starting to click and they're the dark horses this season that shouldn't be written off. Sheffield have got problems, Ellis isn't up to speed this season and Bellego is beyond dreadful, he's basically a rising star on the road at this point, Two thirds of the engine room struggling isn't good at all.
  11. He's just at a track that doesn't suit him, I said it straight away before the season started that I didn't understand why he would sign for Leicester.
  12. Backfired drastically lol. 2 winners, 2 losers and Broke even on Emil. Broke even on the night but I'll take that considering the Wolves meeting was a bit of disaster from start to finish lol.
  13. Agree. It makes our team weaker if he stays and moves to reserve, Just has to call it a day imo because he's not going to turn it around as we've already heard numerous excuses from him over last season and this season whether it's engines, lack of meetings etc.
  14. Klindt maybe on a guarantee as well. He's been winning races for fun in Poland over the last few meetings so I don't understand his British form in a much weaker league.
  15. If only Worrall was available for the AFA trip then we would've won the BP as well. Two poor sides that need major surgery.
  16. Wonder how long for though. Could be out of the door as soon as someone else makes themselves available too imo.
  17. Terrible way for Hans Andersen to depart the club after giving us years of service but it has to be done. Hans hasn't done himself any favours by re-signing after 2022 imo.
  18. Ipswich don't have a reserve to put in any kind of Prem Title challenge imo. Can replace Joe but it won't make much of a difference because Hume is out of his depth at No.6.
  19. Always liked Dan Bewley, Proper Brit doing Panthers a favour tonight. Cheers Dan.
  20. I'm not Worrall's biggest fan but he's got to stay ahead of Andersen imo, I genuinely can't see Andersen scoring well outside of Monmore Green these days. Andersen looks really bad and the 4+1 tonight was purely down to KL being just as poor, Would've scored 1 or 2 again if we were up against proper opposition.
  21. I did but not because of form reasons, Wasn't expecting Ben to ride like that tonight or all season to be fair due to a lack of experience but fair play to the young lad. Phenomenal stuff from him.
  22. Fingers crossed. Andersen was awful again tonight and would've ended up with one or two points again if he was up against half decent opposition. Chugunov or Tarasenko would be the rider if it's true as the other riders at Grudziadz are Fricke and Jakobsen.
