THAT is where it gets different I assume if a rider drops out himself after the deadline the team is then allowed to sign someone? How does that work? Nope:- Guests or rider Replacement depending on the applicable regulation. Same as if someone gets injured after the deadline. (As Scunthorpe tried last year to replace Danny with guests, but couldn't because Danny wouldn't play ball and quit). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The daftest thing is that if Danny had quit he would probably have received a 28 day ban for "withholding his services" even though Scunthorpe wanted rid of him. That would have impacted on his NL bookings, not to mention any guest or individual bookings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Phillips had bee hit with a 28 day ban it would have stopped him riding for Coventry in the NL. If they decided to remove him from their team also he could then no longer guest anywhere after the ban was up due to the requirement of being in a 1-7 to be guest eligible. Simple really...

That's with replacing Danny and Tommy... I do like Tommy a lot and Ben has A LOT of outside issues... But he'd still do a better job imo than the inconsistent 2019 Tommy has Steve Worrall © 7.72 Max Clegg 4.52 Lasse Bjerre 6.65 Matthew Wethers 6.50 Ben Barker 6.90 Danyon Hume 3.70 Jacob Bukhave 4.00 39.99 And as has been said, Dan Bewley would be perfect... But you'd have to live on drinking land to believe it What do Kenneth Hansen and Jonas B Andersen do these days? Dan is committed to Poland most Sundays. Even if we could persuade him to come to Newcastle it would require major team surgery. According to some Edinburgh supporters at the fours Edinburgh are looking at bringing him into there side. BUT and it's a big but, he comes in on a converted Premiership average which means he's somewhere near a 10. Mason Campton can't come back until next March/April as his visa has expired and he can't return for 12 months (assuming he qualifies via various Aussie championships). Danyon's average is just a tad too high as a direct replacement for Danny. (I blame Max or Matty for improving too much!! Only joking). Ben Barker/ Joe Lawlor. There's a reason they were sacked by their respective clubs and it has little or no reason to do with riding a bike. wouldn't go there personally. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diamonds85 699 Posted June 24, 2019 (edited) Was anyone there at the Fours to see Lasse, heard he had a fall? Did this effect him or what? Edited June 24, 2019 by JackJack Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Didn't realise Dan would come in on converted average!! I know he ride in Poland, didn't say I'd want him in the team, he's just been mentioned I guess Mason Campton will qualify like... I still like Danyon and think he's worth trying to fit in, good prospect and a hard rider Ben Barker and Joe Lawlor aren't ideal, but they are options for a struggling team with nothing to lose... Lasse and Danny could be replaced with a combination of either Dimitri Berge and Kasper Andersen or Bradley Wilson Dean and Danyon Hume Dimitri is riding very well for Belle Vue this year and I felt bad for Kasper when replaced at Sheffield, could become a very good rider and could be considered as a long term rider for us imo Bradley Wilson Dean and Danyon Hume speak for themselves, much better upgrades to what we have now... All riders we probably couldn't convince to come to Brough though, which for some reason seems to be our biggest problem... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really like Lasse, but he's struggling a lot this year, I thought Tommy was the one struggling, but I'm not sure that's really the case, Lasse has good scores, like 8+1 at Eastbourne, then the next meeting he'll have 3 breakdowns and a win... Kinda frustrating... But I don't want him to leave under storm clouds... As the Bjerre's should always be welcomed at Newcastle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bottom of the League and not going though to the 4's finals after a decent start is not good enough.

I thought Eastbourne looked a good team this year, especially after signing Kyle... Birmingham not so much, but they have strengthened... And have Ashley at reserve!! Mind you, Newcastle at the bottom of the league is still no good... I thought Berwick looked weak this year too... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
