Dropping himself can be nothing other than withdrawing his services. What else can withdrawing services be? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

True but he should be replaced not have guests, this is one occasion when there is no need for guests unless Rosco thinks he can get track specialists at the upcoming away meetings.

Falcon1983 557 Posted June 12, 2019 To put a different slant on it Howarth probably wouldn't score the same as JA when fully fit, so you have to take into consideration what JA would have scored tomorrow night being half fit so a return of 7 from Howarth over 4 rides would be decent any more than 7 from say 5 rides would be welcomed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just adhering to what the 28 day rule allows....opportunity to try potential replacements out or just maybe someone in particular becomes available/viable by the end of June 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I get what you are saying but i look at things objectively. Allen last time against Swindon got 16 and no i wouldnt expect Howarth to score that When Howarth rode at 2 for Wolves he scored 7 from 5 rides......beating Harris (who lifted violently)....Bellego and a good ride to see off Lawson Riding at number 7 for us he will be in with: Heeps, Perks ,Starke..........2 points King, Batchelor, Starke........1 point R/R , Jensen and Starke.......1 point Harris, Musilek and Perks......1 point Obviously the above is my opinion ....but in this match i would be happy for Kyle to get us 7 from those 4 rides I like Howarth always gives 110% effort but i dont believe that because he got 7 from number 2 that that will mean he will get more from reserve 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
