I would think it is still a big risk committing to anyone from mainland Europe... Unfortunately you may well be right Mike ,but Plymouth weren't accepted until February last year and were given 2weeks to get a team together so I'm not that sympathetic to any late starters tbh. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CitizenTyler 20 Posted November 22, 2021 About as good a replacement as they could have got. Lawson was fire around Plymouth though so it is a loss for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doners123 85 Posted November 22, 2021 (edited) Same as on Poole thread but Who would Plymouth have selected if they had the choice between the two had they both wanted to come. Have Plymouth benefited by the fact Poole have taken Lawson ? Edited November 22, 2021 by Doners123 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bagpuss 10,783 Posted November 22, 2021 So it's been suggested that it's not about money or averages, one therefore assumes (operative word here) that one of the parties had something they consider better come their way since the initial agreement? All a bit unusual though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All a bit unusual though. On twitter it says 'he decided to pursue opportunities with another team...' Very weird, as if Poole just went with Stevie and King that would still be considered top heavy-ish, so I don't buy Poole went after him, doesn't add up imo. I think Phil said it was about a sponsor but would that come under 'money' ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does give the Gladiators an extra 0.5 ish to rearrange the middle order slightly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
