Tom Spencer is a young rider, who can ride at champ level, but needed time to develop. Poor by Plymouth here. So you think a rider who is 26, Current Avg: 1.42. (Lowest in the League) Should be retained? How many seasons does he need to develop?. There is a paying public that Plymouth have to think of. Tom is obviously out of his depth in the Championship. It's not fair to him to score no points week after week, and it's not fair to the paying public. Sport can be hard, but being dropped is all part of it. imo he has been lucky to last this long; It's only due to the lack of riders that has kept him in the team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riders start the sport at different ages. Rising star shouldnt necessarily mean a young person. In this case, they are replacing a British lad with an Aussie who, by all accounts, has been performing well at ndl level but in the reserve berth. Doesn't sit right with me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't sit right with me I agree with the bold part, however no place of work is a charity (unless it is an actual charity of course) and if you don't perform you're rightly moved on.

Tom Spencer is a young rider, who can ride at champ level, but needed time to develop. Poor by Plymouth here. I'd agree with the "rising star" system being used in the Champ, but don't think Spencer would qualify due to his age. Don't agree that they shouldn't be dropped, it's a sport & a business. Plus that brings in other issues, Workington not being allowed to drop Etherington who wants to be let go or a rider who turns 16 mid-season (Will Cairns) not getting signed as no "RS" is allowed to be dropped, meaning he has to ride in the top 6! It's no surprise Spencer has been dropped as he wasn't scoring well & has been given plenty of matches. There's no guarantee Whalley will do any better as the jump form NL to Champ is massive, but can't blame Plymouth for trying something new. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Etherington and Workington parted ways mutually. He knew he was no where near ready. Spencer is a better rider than Whalley, although Whalley may have a higher ceiling. Also, it isnt the same. Having a British Passport may make you British, but he's still and Aussie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with Loftus at Edinburgh as well ain’t it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
