Lawson will ride for the Lions and the Pirates will use a guest to cover his absence. Bomber is the favourite to step in. Lions will then operate R/R Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gasser90 229 Posted February 18, 2023 Sedgeman been on fire down under this winter, if he keeps that form in the UK I think he will be a real asset to you guys this season, solid middle order rider. Leicester could spring some surprises this season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So Mountain must have a 3.38 ave, leaving 5.48 for the last rider! Good to see Bomber given the Captaincy of the Lions. His great attitude, professionalism & experience is going to be a major factor during the season - the right appointment. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Running the final of a three team tournament between two clubs, now in different leagues, with different riders, isn't a good advert is it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not a good advert but not completing a competition that has been started is even worse in my book... how do you expect fans to buy into these mickey mouse fixture filler competitions if they don't finish them. Clubs shouldn't be allowed to pull out of finals or just not run them without any sanction imo. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure Leicester could use there national League team and Poole could pick best of the rest so atleast the youngsters have had some more racing experience. Crowds wouldn't be great I know but I'd be up for that.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crowds wouldn't be great I know but I'd be up for that.. Here's an even crazier idea... how about reassembling the teams that qualified for the competition and running it as their first matches of the season and getting the bloody thing out of the way, that way the fans that traveled the country following their team last season under the crazy notion that if their team qualified for a final they would actually get to see it. As it stands at Leicester we qualified for the play off final and the Jubilee Trophy final and have seen neither! Edited February 26, 2023 by iainb 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
