There must be riders whose teams are not in the Swedish or Polish play off reckoning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But these riders don't want to race here. Too costly to send another set up over here, especially for 6 meeting's. Musielak had half a season or so. Rosco has said that if someone comes up with a name & is available to let him know. Edited August 6, 2018 by hyabb17 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That said missing out on the play offs will also cost money if that happens which does look likely unless form changes. Just sick of having at best a 6 man team all season.

ReadingRacer2017 159 Posted August 6, 2018 Just the thought of Jack Smith in a playoff semi final against Poole reserves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the fact we tried to sign Auty or Robson for 28 days to replace Bellego says it all about the riders that are out there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And Poole got ridiculed last season with Eddie Kennett and others. As Matt and now Rosco has found out, there are no riders available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DC2 11,150 Posted August 8, 2018 Good news, if it’s true, that Stefan Nielsen returns for Scunthorpe next week. Rosco did ask for suggestions about replacing Jack Smith so here’s one: replace Smith and Wajtknecht (CL combined average of 8.48) with Stefan Nielsen and James Sarjeant (CL combined average of 11.31). Not saying we should do it, but it is an option. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Considering hes had to carry the burden of being the main reserve in his 2nd top league season and on the back of a bad injury hes done f'in well I reckon.
