Exactly, bonkers. Think people should stop trying to interpret what is a rule and what isn’t anyway. Every man and his dog on here were adamant that Ipswich couldn’t use Lambert for Doyle when some suggested him because he was on an “assessed” average. Turns out they could have done after all! Who knows if Harris is eligible, wouldn’t surprise you though if he did would it? Edited September 27, 2023 by Aries 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who knows if Harris is eligible, wouldn’t surprise you though if he did would it? He could possibly get the odd boo from Ipswich fans but that would not worry him. Apparently it was mentioned that Ipswich were told they could not use Lambert but who knows the truth also were not allowed to use Joe T and 8 day rule isnt meant to apply to ndl riders.

I just can't see the sport attracting new fans if we've got rules that are an embarrassment to the sport to a point where every year they shoot themselves in the foot. The rules don't even make our sport sound semi-professional anymore let alone professional. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The rules don't even make our sport sound semi-professional anymore let alone professional. Sadly I feel you are correct... As with so much in life.. What got passed up, and accepted as "OK", in the pre internet days is impossible to get away with nowadays.... Where once "dozens" may have shook their collective heads, and laughed at something they found out, (after already paying their money to get in), it is now potentially many thousand who know well in advance what is going to be served up, so will make the call to atrend based on whether they find it acceptable or not... A "difficult sell" sometimes I would think... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
