proud panther 1,505 Posted September 29, 2015 Thought the bike Rafa rode Sunday looked a bit too quick for him to control. He can gate, but falls off too often to improve his average much in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mudflaps 664 Posted September 29, 2015 yeah don't get me wrong I like the guy and can see why the fans love him - there just seems to be an inability to effectively handle a "fast" speedway bike! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lukas 911 Posted September 29, 2015 can't moan at that for the home leg , he's quality round the showground . had to feel for barker the other day he looked well down in the dumps with his e/f in heat 13 ,we'd best hope he's got some more rocket launchers , 1 thing with barker his experience and willingness in big matches will be a massive plus for the team It was only a snapped primary chain I believe.

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,706 Posted September 29, 2015 If Boro can get a 12 point lead then I think they can put the Monarchs under real pressure in the 2nd leg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted September 29, 2015 I think a lot of this could come down to track prep on Sunday. Get it right for the home boys and I think the panthers could take a healthy lead and win the tie. Might go watch this meeting myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheScotsman 2,483 Posted September 29, 2015 Ok a broken scaphoid bone in his wrist (as was previously reported). Or is this another Panthers red herring? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crump99 4,476 Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) He hasn't broken his wrist If he has broken it then it's one of the bones of the wrist: Scaphoid Wrist Fracture He'd be unwise and unlikely to ride with that but a red herring it indeed could be: cutting the cast off indeed Edited September 29, 2015 by Crump99 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigcatdiary 3,165 Posted September 29, 2015 Ok a broken scaphoid bone in his wrist (as was previously reported). Or is this another Panthers red herring? I think the possible absence of Wolbert or/and Clegg could make a difference, I see both are missing tonight and hopefully making a return in the second leg of the KOC Final at Armadale Friday, Monarchs would certainly miss Wolbert the way he has been riding recently. Riss was poor in the league meeting at Peterborough this year until his last ride when the track had gone really slick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Either way it will be painful & unwise to ride I would think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheScotsman 2,483 Posted September 29, 2015 Was it not a scaphoid break that kept Cameron Heeps out of the Ippo side for weeks maybe months? And was he still not suffering from it this season? Scaphoid injuries always used to be a speedway rider's nightmare because of the length of time it took them to heal. Might be a bit foolhardy to ride with a busted one.
