THE DEAN MACHINE Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 With Edward’s on the sidelines I think we need to take a punt on Vinnie foord ,he is enthusiastic and I can’t see anyone else available as a R/S that is any better 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you always so passive aggressive with your comments ? 😀 I don't give two shinny sh#tes whether they complete the season or not, I was just responding to the previous poster? As to your first ? 'why wouldnt they'?....well, there's no Number 1 rider....the Number 4 is riding cr#p and the rising star has just got injured and there doesn't seem to be a competent replacement (albeit there's an announcement today apparently...) the track is poor....the attendance is poor.... I think there's plenty of valid reasons why they wouldn't see the season out.... BUT....as IainB has pointed out, Tolley needs to stay on track (no pun intended) in order for his 'new' club next season!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTT Posted June 11 Report Share Posted June 11 Sam Hagon and Perry Barr isn't a good match on paper. Sam was never going to turn down the opportunity though and I hope he can get to grips with the cicruit and score some points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

szkocjasid Posted June 12 Report Share Posted June 12 (edited) 20 hours ago, IainB said: Another club that have overlooked their own NDL team when choosing a RS replacement. Why would you overlook a stronger rider just because you run a NL/NT team? If every club chose replacements from their development team only, then clubs that don't run a development team, would be at an advantage, being able to pick from any NL/NT team for a replacement. By that logic every Prem team losing a RS would be signing a NL/NT rider as a replacement, while Ipswich could go for Gilkes or Hagon because they don't have a NL/NT team to recruit from. Also the NL/NT is miles away from the Prem, even at RS level. It's better riders move up when they are ready & not before. If one of the top NL/NT riders Max James, steps down from Edinburgh because it's too tough for him, surely you wouldn't put him in a RS spot just because he rides for Birmingham's second team?

Yep, can't disagree with anything you say... but then I'm not a fan of the RS system in the PL anyway... and now with the removal of the asset system it makes it even less likely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
