Barbarian 4 Posted May 31, 2018 Diamond@heart sums it up nicely in that Peterborough have taken action with Kennett joining and reading between the lines why we didn't get him or even Jorgenson who has gone to Redcar. The recent updates are deafening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Terrace Grumbler 337 Posted May 31, 2018 I don't think there's any wish to replace Robbo. There is, I think, a lack of comprehension that a replacement for Lewis Rose can't be found. I thought Mr. Phillips displayed masterly qualities of expectation management on Sunday when he said he hoped there would be reasonable news of a replacement!

Yes and some riders back out of a deal but you cant report that. It's all highs and lows and riders messing others up. Barbarian. Kennett going to Peterborough is a no brainer for him. Hardly a scoop as he wouldn't join any Northern Tracks, then along comes a Southern one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barbarian 4 Posted May 31, 2018 Tsunami I understand the Kennett situation but how do Redcar get Jorgenson and we don't. I believe he would have been a suitable replacement for Rose as it's over a month now since he took time out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those days are fewer and far between nowadays tho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

screm 7,992 Posted June 2, 2018 It appears Matej Kus has been released by Redcar, very attractive signing for someone. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
