ruckerroo 792 Posted August 10, 2022 Whatever the whys and wherefores plymouths promising season , aided by a large dose of mickey taking with kennett have been murdered by injury and seemingly endless issues with barker. Shame as tbh they were a match for nearly anyone over 2 legs . 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His suspension is confirmed and he has to appear before the SCB in September. Guess that means another facility. Almost unbelievable. He brings it on all by himself and is a liability in any team.Such a sad shame as could be decent rider on his going day. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They would surely have had it for about 24 hours and haven't updated their website from TBC since Sunday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We had Verge and Wooley both NDL (second strings at best) and Morley and Complin (NDL heat leaders) from memory plus Starkey and Sedgeman Very much an NDL look I'd say.

Does the Plymouth NL team use anyone who is considered a Champ HL? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't blame the riders, its the law of supply and demand, if you're in demand you make the most of it. Needs to be a complete realignment and far more realistic pay grades in CL in my opinion.
