Lets say then you preferred Ellis to Pickering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think i have ever mentioned Pickering particularly only said he would be one to be considered as I can't see them letting Howarth go.I did say if Tai came in to the Sheffield team both Ellis and Pickering would probably be the ones to make way. Ellis has had a terrible season, a 6 point average doesn't reflect his ability. Josh hasn't been that bad really and would consider himself unlucky if he was let go but if he was I would imagine he would go to Kings Lynn.

He chose his colours and picked his side. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leicester could be interested if Pickering were to become available, but wouldn't Sheffield need to fully rebuild the rest of the team in order to achieve a Museilak/Holder/Woffinden top three? Bit of a push at this stage? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stacked up high like the shelves at Tesco, so they are. Just sitting there waiting. Any suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

4BM 116 Posted August 24, 2023 So looks like Sheffield will be replacing Ellis especially if unsure how long his shoulder injury (cough cough!!) will take to heal with someone around the 7 point marker, I’d say they’d have needed to have ridden in UK before and their Polish season be over like Holder snr, Przedpelski or Wozniak) and then possibly either Kerr to go with a around 4+ point replacement which weakens team at reserve but gives them back the third heat leader other option would be Pickering to go instead of Kerr and a slightly stronger reserve coming in like Mountain Musielak 8.71, Woffinden 7.03, C Holder 7.16, Howarth 5.75, Pickering 6.24 A.N Other 4.11 Unatached Rising Star (Edwards, Boughen, etc) = 39.00 Musielak 8.71, Woffinden 7.03, C Holder 7.16, Howarth 5.75, Kerr 5.68 Mountain 4.40 Unatached Rising Star (Edwards, Boughen, etc) = 38.73 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
