Brilliant - am delighted for both Josh and Sheffield - and here's me thinking that King's Lynn would be the likeliest candidate for his services. Pretty confident that this is his type of track also so should do well. Having said that just look at his scores at Arlington so it does seem to matter so much I guess. He likes a good outside run and Tigers should have fun watching that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cue Ball 416 Posted July 8, 2021 Not the person I was expecting to see released - didn’t think he’d been riding that badly tbh 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShyTalk 22 Posted July 8, 2021 Good signing, but feel sorry for Sedgemen. There are others in the team who have been dissapointing, but kept their team place. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,764 Posted July 8, 2021 Good to see Pickering finally getting his chance in the PL. As for Thompson, I'd have thought a PL place should be the next step in his development and it would be far better for him than the NL right now, a bit like Flint Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spin king 1,918 Posted July 8, 2021 Josh Pickering shows the clubs intentions to make serious challenge for the Play Offs. I have been following his scores this season for Edinburgh, and his scores have been as good away from Edinburgh as they are at home, which to me is a massive plus. Feel a bit sorry for Seggy but simple fact is that we are replacing a rider who is reserve for his Championship side for an heatleader in another. No brainer really.

Nope, all Premiership teams can build to 35.5 for their top 6, rising star grade doesn't come into it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leon Flint raced for Wolves as a RS guest before he joined them officially. It was only after he was added as their official RS two weeks later that he had to step back from Berwick Bullets 1-7.
