He is 6.10 we have 6.17 left. I think if Bjerre fits then he is the best to take up the role. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hyderd 1,216 Posted March 4, 2018 according to the unofficial official averages LB does fit and surely makes Leicester stronger, and IMO the team to fear most. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coltsareus 5 Posted March 4, 2018 Can Bjerre be used as a guest until Josh is back or would he replace him for the season? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Bates not ready go for Michael Palm Toft - he rode BP well last year particularly in his last match there ! Cheers Lasse would fit, but I certainly wouldn't have a problem with Toft, has always looked committed whenever I've seen him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OldRacer 84 Posted March 5, 2018 Would they need to redeclare or would they be able to use guests like Lasse from outside the league? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Col 850 Posted March 6, 2018 I would think they would have to re-declare or use the 1 month injury replacement. If they do re-declare, if Serjeant or (more likely) Newman manage to increase their averages above that of Bates when the first set of GSA's appear it could be an interesting decision for the Lions management.

Hamish McRaker 601 Posted March 6, 2018 I think they'd try to keep it in the family if at all possible Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It used to be that you couldn't have a facility for someone who hasn't actually ridden in the team yet - is that still the case? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't recall anything to the contrary, so I assume the regulation is still in place. The season starts soon, and the 2018 rule book is still unavailable.

No 28 day cover would be given so would have to be R/R. I'm sure this happened to Somerset once but don't ask me when and who for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We had Ritchie Hawkins injured before the start of the 2008 season and replaced by Brent Werner. The same season when Tom Hedley bailed a few days before the start of the season and we had to sign Henning Loof before being replaced by Matthias Kroger. Amazing to think that's 10 years ago now!

MattK 3,447 Posted March 7, 2018 The regulations only refer to re-declared teams: 16.5.3 No facility is permitted to replace a rider, who although included in a Re-declaration has not made an appearance for that Team since being re-declared. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
