PhilTheAce 498 Posted March 25, 2022 Jake allen confirmed on a 4 week temp contract while we look for a heat leader My guess is he's found that 3rd heat leader but due to the lateness of the deal he's paying over the odds for him so they are going to use the cheaper allen for the cup matches and then bring in the née riders for the league campaign. And he will replace whoever was the worst between jye and allen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they were prepared to pay Woffy for the home matches, and Dan for both home and away, I would presume they can afford it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I expect they thought it would be unlikely to turn over the best team in the league over two legs so get a cheaper option for the cup and gives them longer to consider their options going forward. Jake is a good rider and very capable of putting a point on his current average so it could be Etheridge that is replaced later in the season,not sure if it is good for the team to have riders competing against each other though.

Give over mate you were trying to insuate that we would be bitter because we lost the league to Peterborough, hence you said " a Panthers rider". For the record MPT has always been good value around the NSS. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
