ray c 2,299 Posted June 29, 2018 I would have thought Matt would replace szczepaniak after Wednesday night performance with double up rider from the championship . Not sure what points there are to play though still I suppose there still time to do that ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure what points there are to play though still I suppose there still time to do that ? Based on Spaniak's new GSA wef 1/7 its 4.77 or on a 1.3 conversion he has 6.2 for a Champ rider. Scrolling through the latest SGB team declaration GSA's effective july, the only rider who I can come up with who has shown some decent recent form is Mason Campton a 24 year Aussie who I got a chance to see at my local track Lakeside recently where he scored 10 from 5 incl one last place. Was easily their best rider by far and better on the night than Klindt & Bewley. Only came back from injury for first time this season I think end of May checking Workingson results and has done fairly well. Can't be any worse than Spaniak on UK form. Nobody else stands out around that mark in Champ. Unless Matt has another young Johnny Foreigner agreed at a GSA below 5 with no UK experience ??? Does he need the expense of an untried young rider even if done kind of ok abroad. Also Matt cannot change Josh G for Charles Wright as Josh starts July on 6.12 and Wright is on 6.19. Additionally if Matt tries a team redeclaration he looks stumped to me as team start July on 42.97 and need to redeclare within 42.5 (I think). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,617 Posted June 29, 2018 It is suggested that Stefan Neilsen (3.67) is only a couple of weeks away from a return to action after his leg injury???? Bit of a risk but it would save 1.10 against Mateusz average (4.77) and give Matt a smidgeon more to play with if looking at replacing another! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wasn't he replaced? - in which case he is not supposed to be allowed back in the side this season. :confused: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BobC 664 Posted June 29, 2018 Now Newman dropped by Leicester, could he come into the equation? Putting wooden spoon down now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't see how at the moment - he's injured and his average is 5.23. Not sure who he would replace? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Means we're going to sign him doesn't it. Would rather keep Szczepaniak. Neither of them are any good. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looking at it mate theres not a lot Matt can do. This side bar one maybe will have to take us to the play off's. Averages are to high.
