Josh has had to have surgery to repair a bone in his neck/back which apparently took two hours to complete. This would suggest recovery will be longer than that expected for concussion.

Mr Blobby 2,623 Posted July 18, 2019 Great result for the boys. Having a number 1 that you know is going to go out and win races really helps. Rickys performance costing us a win imo getting beat of Lawlor summed his night up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe we have tapped him up and he has asked Wolbert the best way to manipulate his average . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Welcome back Smiler!! but your tail just got even longer and with oor willie in the main body of the team looks pretty poor . maybe when you get the next change (august ?) it will be better and the season will be over . so why do it in the first place ?

Quite simple really, we have been pants so far this season and struggling everywhere, barely able to win heats 13 and 15, even at home , so getting sam back is a no brainer. Vic and Joel can`t score 15 between them on the road, sam on his own gives us a big hitter. We have a long tail granted, but the previous line up could not win races away. The point at the league leaders suggests a good move, albeit a little late, at least a week in my book , but the red tape might explain that. At least we are competitive and capable of getting 40 away, before hand we were not. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cj69 333 Posted July 18, 2019 Definate improvement having Sam in the team but the form of Ricky is a worry. Pleasantly surprised at Lawson scoring points and seems to be chipping in more now. Picko and Cammy also doing well and happy with the reserves contributions. Be good to see how we perform at home but I think the rain will put stop to that on Friday.

I don't think many teams will lead the Lions by 6 points at home during the meeting. Masters was electric away from the tapes in 4 rides. Lawson was the surprise for me. He gated for his points; Pickering I would have as a guest at Leicester. So exciting with his big sweeps around the air fence. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Al 708 Posted July 18, 2019 You need to cut Wells a bit of slack here, that injury he's trying to ride with makes it extra difficult on tighter cornering tracks and I'd guess it's why he was put at 2. I've seen many other riders have the same problem and it improves ok in most cases, but in others it has to be dealt with by surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the Lions need to replace both Worrall and Bates, would they be limited to making like-for-like changes where each new rider has to have an average below the one being replaced, or can they combine the averages of Worrall and Bates and bring in two replacements whose combined averages are less than that total?

If the changes are made individually, they can be like-for-like. If declared at the same time the 1-7 total must not exceed the 40 point team limit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps before making such comments you might want to try riding a Speedway bike around Armadale's current bumpy surface. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
