Triple.H. Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 22 hours ago, Onthafence said: Well will be an interesting signing that’s for sure. A hard racer but from what I’ve seen of him racing in Aus is he spends a fair amount of time on the floor or in the fences. also he was the rider that wiped Chris holder out in his first meeting in Aus this season. I think Berwick may be a bit of a challenge for him to start with Blimey the lad isn't even in the country and he's being criticised, give him a break. Many years ago there was a couple of young lads from New Zealand who spent a lot of time hitting the deck or the fence, remember some other riders wanted them banned. Briggs and Mauger were their names, i often wonder how their careers panned out. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeyin Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 I watched the Aussie meetings on bsn and I think Reid will do okay, he can gate, and is a racer, may need to calm himself a bit though. Will be an interesting watch. Disappointed that Jacob Hook does not have a place. We really need to stop losing riders that increase their average due to the team limits, it's always the 5 pointers that lose out. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should not be allowed Guests or R/R for riders missing due to other riding commitments for starters.That might changes Promoters mindset on who they sign. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully agree, covering injuries or illness is one thing but a rider having somewhere better to be is not ok it’s outright disrespectful to the people who pay their money week in week out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinh88 Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 (edited) Thank you to those who do the clubs youtube. I have been enjoying the matches from the archives. Personally speaking it makes April seem not so far away with a half decent meeting on a Sunday night. Thank you x2 Edited January 19 by Robinh88 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
