NeilWatson 1,988 Posted May 23, 2018 PETERBOROUGH have moved to bring 2017 team member Bradley Wilson-Dean back to the club. The New Zealand star returns to the T.Balfe Construction Panthers as a replacement for Nike Lunna, who broke his ankle in a crash when guesting for Workington at Scunthorpe last Friday. Wilson-Dean is available after completing a short-term stint with the Comets as injury cover, and ironically showed his liking for the East of England Arena with a bumper 13+1 score in their victory over the Panthers earlier this month. And with five Championship matches and a vital Shield fixture against Ipswich coming up during the month of June, promoter Ged Rathbone says they had to make a new signing rather than rely on the rider-replacement facility. He said: “It’s very unfortunate for Nike, who has been a pleasure to deal with, but it looks like he is going to be out for at least six weeks and we really can’t cover for that length of absence. “We keep saying it’s a short season this year and we felt we couldn’t afford to risk letting things run away from us by continuing to use rider-replacement. “If it’s mid-to-late July before Nike gets back then that’s a big chunk of the season gone, so we’ve had to act to maintain our strength, and hopefully our position in the table. “Bradley knows ourselves and the track well so I’m confident he will slot straight back in, and he certainly showed us what he can do when he rode here with Workington recently. “I do feel for Nike, we wish him well for his recovery and we would certainly be happy to work with him again in the future.” Wilson-Dean will make his seasonal Panthers debut in the trip to Glasgow on June 8, with the return fixture at the East of England Arena on Sunday June 10.

Seems the logical move IF they are planning another change... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevehone 3,425 Posted May 23, 2018 i still like the idea of having Bacon in the team, he's improving and he's scoring ok for his average. should always try to keep someone on the up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Art 16.2.7 states that the most recently established MA will be used. Bradley gained a Premiership MA on 1st May, but he did not gain a Championship MA on 1st May (as he hadn't ridden in the CL prior to 24th April) , hence his Premiership MA is the most recently established one so is converted for his inclusion in our team. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So,,, would that suggest that Kennett, could be available on a 7.47 ave. based on his latest PL ave. ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
