Realistically Sarjeant isnt going to get better.. NL should be for riders who are on an upward curve not riders looking for easy pay days.. i dont agree with Ledwith either for whats it worth.. as far the experience thing what have riders like Clegg/Sarjent achieved in the sport that would make them worth listening to.. id rather see riders like Flint etc at Newcastle 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly It takes one to recognise one lass... as Ronan Keating once said "You say it best; When you say nothing at all" and the quote by Mark Twain certainly comes to mind in your case “It's better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubt” Pity you couldn't stay away a tad longer!!!

Crabba59 156 Posted January 22, 2020 Tell one thing's for sure this winter with what's gone on with Newcastle, forum now on 98 pages, the club's never been talked about so much on here?
