pity steve is missing again but I think it will be a lot closer than your 12 point win

[yoda 81]

i'll go for monarchs by 18-20

 

fisher for a maximum

From a Newcastle point of view it is a blow that we cannot have Steve Worrall in our side. Guest Theo Pijper is a good rider but he is unlikely to match what Steve Worrall could score at Edinburgh. If the Diamonds lose by just a few points and Pijper under-acheives then I will question the choice of guest. Come on Theo prove me wrong and win us the match

Steve Worrall got 12 from 5 getting 3 wins and Theo Pijper got 11 from 5 getting 3 wins?

[damosuzuki 696]

46-44.

Theo is quality but Stevie Worrall is simply irreplaceable. With Worrall I would fancy Diamonds to win 42-48 against this weaker than usual Edinburgh side. Without Worrall it's harder but still a chance to sneak the win.

If Palovaara has got his gating gloves with him, you might not miss Worral too badly, he's got a decent record round the dale too.(Theo needs to remember to bring his gating gloves too).

Will Theo still be riding as I understand he took a bit of a knock last night at Sheffield?

Seb Alden has broken his neck (Seb's Facebook page), so yes.

Ah well it was no surprise we got beat by 2 points. Theo wasn't the best guest we could have had

[NJC71 388]

Gutted. Goes without saying had Stevie been riding we would probably have taken all 4 points.

 

Great effort though.

He is normally good at Edinburgh, scored 11 there for Berwick a few weeks ago. Maybe not fit after last night, in which case he probably shouldn't have ridden.
