dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,695 Posted May 9, 2019 If Thorssell is back riding elsewhere then the temporary injury replacement should end once the initial period granted is over - no way should it be extended Either Thorssell returns or a permanent replacement needs to be named - no further facility should be available 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only facility we are using at the moment is r/r for Nick Morris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely his average is higher than Scotts and I doubt the team total is under the limit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dabbsjoe 149 Posted May 10, 2019 anyone think that Jacob has burnt his bridges with Wolves and CVS/Adams ? he told them he was going to be fine when they spoke to him about being in the team. CVS has said that they were annoyed by his stories over the winter when they turned out not to be true. wouldn't surprise me if he's not back here this season and Wolves stick with Nicholls Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skidder1 7,632 Posted May 10, 2019 Thorsell didn't start the season did he? Therefore Nicholls had to be a re-declaration rather than a temporary fix surely?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IronScorpion 1,407 Posted May 10, 2019 Looking at that, it was a re-declaration or a declaration of new personnel due to Jacob's injury as it was the 1st one. file:///C:/Users/User/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Temporary Internet Files/Content.IE5/TWXUQ3C6/p19_issue_1.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why did it? Wasn’t Kildemand a ‘temporary fix’ for Holder last year? What’s different? And Holder wasn’t even in Poole’s ending line up last season!

IronScorpion 1,407 Posted May 10, 2019 Not sure on this but has happened before in that there is/was a rule in place that if a rider finished in a team the previous year & is declared the following year, a facility can be granted. But, I do not know how r/r has been allowed for Morris as he had not ridden for Wolves this year & last year was at Swindon. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're right - maybe different year, different rules? Different (non-injury) situation - don't know?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Another example of change it/keep it/alter it/hide from the viewing public/make it up rules that gives another reason why our sport lacks any credibility. Its another of those rules ‘it depends who is asking’! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

More like different club different rules. We’ve been there before. You'd like to think that where a declared rider can’t start the season who is a long serving club man then a bit of common sense could be applied for his reintroduction. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CVS was less committal saying it would be a tough choice if Scott does well. Jacob was fine when he first agreed to sign, the injury came later, he then thought he was going to be ok by the start of the season but then didn't heal as well as he thought it would. He told Pete / CVS as soon as he realised he was going to miss the start of the season. Imo Jacob will be back at some point this season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
