89buttons 761 Posted March 25, 2019 Really hope Cameron’s wrist isn’t as bad as it sounds it could be! He’s clearly worked very hard during the off season to get fit - would be a big blow to him and us to have a set back. i hope the absence of KP is just for these challenges primarily and not setting the tone for the year...

Bash 496 Posted March 25, 2019 Could understand with KP missing Leicester as Saturdays are not a Premiership race night, but Thursdays are so why is he missing this meeting. It shouldn't clash with Poland. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2ndbendbeerhut 1,781 Posted March 25, 2019 Gdansk are riding Tuesday and Wednesday...not Thursday that I can see. Money saving with Kemp in? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted March 25, 2019 Just getting the fans ready for what's coming in the future. The polish riders did often like to miss a Thursday if my memory serves me correctly. The joys of playing in the big boys league. Stroll on Thursday though, I fancy watching this. Maybe the buzz is coming back 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im hoping this is just down to it being a challenge slotted in as an extra after other plans were already in place If it becomes a more regular occurence it wont go down well and cant be defended in the way it can for these season opening practice matches 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
