I do not doubt his commitment and effort, I personally feel that he has reached his level, in terms of ability. I could be totally wrong and I really hope he proves it. Whilst all Lions fans will be hoping that Max gets it right soon, team decision makers in this sport have little patience and will only tolerate sub standard performances for a short period. A rider's effort/commitment/expenditure will not unfortunately count for much when ambitious teams are chasing silverware at the business end of the season.

A rider's effort/commitment/expenditure will not unfortunately count for much when ambitious teams are chasing silverware at the business end of the season. The best deal was to wait for the July GSAs and do a one-for-one replacement. A redeclaration would have decimated the team. On this basis, a rider with an average up to 4.53 was needed. If people don't like Max, perhaps they could suggest alternatives within that average constraint? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lenny Lion 138 Posted July 22, 2022 I am sorry but it’s time for Max Clegg & Joe Thompson to go. With them in the side we have zero chance of winning anything. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lenny Lion 138 Posted July 22, 2022 Max Clegg obviously read my comments & decided to prove me wrong. Well done Max. Hopefully he will collect a winners flag on Sunday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FishersGate 489 Posted July 22, 2022 Much improved ride from cleggy. Let's hope he can hit the ground running at the lions den. He was trying way too hard last time out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

szkocjasid 2,800 Posted July 22, 2022 Must admit, I was looking forward to reading plenty of "I was wrong" comments about Max Clegg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Far from it, if the team is good enough to win by 20 points at home most weeks, they can afford to lose by 18 away & win the double! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
szkocjasid 2,800 Posted August 6, 2022 I've noticed the Lions race their last home match on Aug 6th, then have to wait to race play-off / KOC matches. Meanwhile the Lion Cubs have home matches on Sep 3rd & 10th. So no racing at Leicester for nearly a month & as soon as the play-offs can start, there's two weeks they can't race while the NDL team do! The first week in Sep is likely to be for the P/O QF, but surely by the second week they'd be wanting to race the SF of either competition? Doesn't seem great planning, may end up racing into October / November lol! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyways, us Pirates will end the Lions hopes in the KO Cup so don't panic, don't panic! Edited August 6, 2022 by Turnip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mac101 1,172 Posted August 6, 2022 pretty much the same with most clubs why would they not bring play off forward and run them in decent weather rather than a wet september/october 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
