Very limited options left though with distances, Sunday race days being blockers. I fear patience has run out with Phillips though (justifiably so) and a fresh face even scoring same low/no points would be better regarded if they were showing some improvement.

Not sure how likely Danny is to be dropped though... Must be really difficult for Martin, and it's understandable Does Joe Lawlor still ride after being dropped by Glasgow? (Just don't let him in any hotels) Also heard rumours of Jack Parkinson Blackburn coming back, but how many meetings would he do before he retired again? Maybe Paul Bowen can be given a chance, on the promise he brings the whole team a half time pie... Interesting times ahead... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe Lawlor is still floating about but has temperament issues and no NL place for regular rides. JPB is a waste of time as proven previously. Everyone loves the pie man but if i was genuinely looking someone like Luke Harris could really progress given help, Alex Spooner is a has bikes will travel rider, otherwise its a complete rookie but see what can be done to assist? Ben Rathbone would always have the best equipment in the pits? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phillwhitewasmad 1,487 Posted April 30, 2019 list would be a good starting point early season machine gremlins out of the way and starting to look like the rider scunny thought they were getting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not much out there, but there's also nothing to lose, any of these riders are worth a gamble imo... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just a thought. none taken sir. my point (not made well enough) was that as others strengthen it's often the #7 that get's the boot in the numbers game. perhaps Edinburgh for example. in which case Ruddick would appear to be a better option. note that Simon Lambert scored 3 at Kings Lynn last night. capable but not suited to Newcastle.

Wells was lucky he was not excluded for having Jorgensen off. As you say bad ref. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
