It's happened many times over the years to most teams. One year we had Andrew Tully injured at P and P, and we got a guest right through till he was fit. Jirout was another example from the mid 00's. It's not unusual. By getting a guest early in the season gives the unlucky club a fair chance to be at strength in those opinion forming early meetings.

We used R/R for Mario Jirout twice and then he was replaced by Kristian Lund. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe the answer is that Bomber goes around and rides for every club in the first couple of weeks? He will probably achieve this feat as the season goes by anyway, so, instead, make it part of the "launch plan" in those important few meetings for each team... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What's the alternative though? Give BWD a new average after ONE league match? Or expect Newcastle to pick a weak guest? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lund if i remember correctly came in and averaged around 6 and got sacked for Jason Lyons. Lund then came to Newport. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
