Robbobee 144 Posted October 14, 2021 So does anybody know if Chris Harris is guesting for Hans Andersen again on Sat night ? What about Richard Lawson if not or is he injured at present ? Come on you Lions! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Richard Lawson hasn't ridden since his injury, so even if he is okay now, he won't have any sort of match fitness for an important meeting like this when every race is crucial.

Supersub 79 Posted October 15, 2021 IF Rory not fit, how about Scott N, Adam Ellis or Bjarne? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IRR only available for a 'fresh' injury, so he'd also have to contrive a soft fall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don’t think he would want a fall with a shoulder injury and in any case we could could only replace with Ben Cook, Hume or the reserves so might as well be just the reserves.

Personally if he's in doubt I'd go with r/r or if I had to use a guest Paul Starke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
