With Leicester having away visits in the league to Berwick, Poole, Newcastle, Glasgow and Oxford within the next 28 days I suspect its another shrewd move from Dickson to play the system to its fullest advantage.

Do you mean between either hand picking guests and or using the Turbo Twins to cover the rides??

Turbo Twins?? Chris Holder and Darcy Ward were given that title for a reason.

Giving that name to the Thompson's is the same as putting Ant & Dec in the same company as Morecambe & Wise.

:nono:

It was the former but see Dan T now at reserve this month.  Their potential for  away wins from these fixtures has increased significantly.

This is how I see this panning out. Lions & Rowe part company on the 2nd of June, after a few weeks of rumours. Lions apply for 28 day facility which conviently takes us to 30th June, in the mean time use the facility to pick suitable guests. On the 1st of July the new averages come into effect, now it just so happens that Rowe now as a rolling average of 4.16 ( see lions statistics page on their website). Because the rolling average is losing 2 matches a month, so started at 20, then 18 for May, 16 for June, so when the June averages are annouced on the 23rd of June it seems Rowe must have lost 3 lowish scores & will be replaced with the 9 he scored at Birmingham, hence the jump from 3.95 to 4.16.

This will give them more scope to find a replacement, possibly Zane Keleher, who looks like he finished last season on 4.06 or maybe an untried Aussie on a 4.00.

Yeah Darcy didn't like it when people called Jack Holder and Brady Kurtz the turbo twins 2.0! He said there is only one set of turbo twins and it's him and Chris.

Lol, Chris and Darcy had it first then it moved to Brady and Jack and now we are on to the third set! 

Isn't the correct title 'the Thompson twins' unless I am missing something?

Darcy Ward and Chris Holder were indeed impressive as a duo but then again were they as good as Hamill & Hancock ??

 

Let hope the Thompson Twins turn out to be as good as either duo ... lol

Why? I'd wait til after you have been to Poole then, as he isn't any good there! Better to get Edwards as a guest imo. I'm hoping Edinburgh have already booked him as they are riding on Weds as well.

Can't do that at the moment, because his average is, I think 4.06, Rowe's is only 3.95, which is why as i mentioned earlier i'll think they'll use guests until July's averages come into effect , when Rowe's rolling average jumps to 4.16, thus allowing Keleher to fit.
