Well until we see what he has to say who knows? It could be something that is better said now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they wanted Cook,Leicester should have got him as a direct replacement for Morris when he was suspended,at least that way they could have kept Harris too.Bad management imo to get Batchelor in the first place. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What groundbreaking information is he going to release? I can sense some sour grapes coming sadly. The tone of his Twitter post suggests as much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The thing I haven't seen or read anything about is did Panthers release Ritchie first or did Lions make an approach for him with a swap for Bomber in mind? I think there is more to this than is being made public at the moment and perhaps Bomber is going to spill the beans on some underhanded dealings? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As I said above, he’s not the first, nor will he be the last to fall foul of the numbers game. Be aggrieved by all means, but to take to social media and threaten an expose isn’t really very professional. Of course this is speedway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

True, not very professional, but it's hardly just a speedway issue. Just look at the Kylian Mbappe saga in what's supposed to the biggest sport in the world, involving two of the biggest clubs in the world and what is arguably the best player in the world. Couldn't keep him off social media a couple of months ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’d like to think Harris would be more mature and has a better grasp on “real” life than Mbappe though at his age. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So not sure it is just about Leicester. Edited August 7, 2023 by lisa-colette 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it is annoyance about being dropped then how about all of the times he’s came out with the can’t find the right set up etc even though he’s been riding said tracks for 25 years.
