When he eventually comes in at Glasgow as a reserve, will be no surprise if he starts scoring heavily from the outset and have up to 7 rides per meeting. It might have been a testing time for the Tigers between Sedgmen leaving & not having Nowak available immediately, but this could be a case of short term pain for long term gain, when the Play Offs start Indeed the current fixtures barely matter, Glasgow will easily make the play-offs & probably in the top 2!

Mr Blobby 2,662 Posted September 5, 2021 So they’ve signed a rider who yet doesn’t have a visa to ride, yet the deadline has passed. What’s the point in having a deadline if you’ve not got all the correct paperwork in place. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its probably just like the problems you can have with getting a new passport, you know you are going to get one but it takes a while for the bureaucrats to issue you with your bit of paper. So sensible people would assume that the correct paperwork is in place, the bit of paper just needs to be issued. PS I realise you are from the 'east' but have assumed that even you know what a passport is. By the way he looked quick today whilst practising.
