Who cares if he’s not a “team player” of gets down on himself, so what? Big deal. He’ll score valuable points down there no doubt about it. I'm sure i read it on the Scunthorpe thread that they'd tried to get Kemp to sign for them but he wasn't interested and is gonna give the UK a miss this season and concentrate on his Polish racing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's no wonder he's giving uk racing a miss having been offered and agreed a Prem place but then had it withdrawn!! (Rumour)! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They’ve been unlucky in the sense that Thomas would have been one of the better rising stars and it was a big blow to lose him, but the choice after that was a strange one. I get that they were reluctant to use a couple of obvious choices and wanted to move away from those and go down a different path, but doing that could end up costing us. Three or four points here and there instead of zero’s and one’s makes a difference. We know we’re one of the weaker side down at reserve because of the way they chose to build this year, but picking one of if not THE weakest rising stars has compounded the issue. So if they have to why wouldn't they have already,,,, as its pretty clear at this moment of his career,, he is ready for this standard yet. And it was pretty obvious immediately,,,because no moves have so far been made,,, I think they may stick with him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've not seen Kemps name mentioned in any U24 teams in the last round of fixtures so didn't think he had a place, Liga 2 yeah. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why not both? Totally agree with @Bagpuss I mean when Edinburgh thought they had Richie Worrall last year, but he left to go to Leicester, Edinburgh didn't get the hump & say we're not racing, so why would a rider (if that's what happened)?

We won't win anything with the worst RS in the league, surely there must be a better option ??? I can see 4 or 5 options that are scoring more in the NDL / Championship Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arch Stanton 2,255 Posted May 27, 2023 Who’s missing for the Witches next week then? I’m guessing probably Rew? He has a championships meeting on the Friday, maybe there’s practice he’s needed for on the Thursday? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
