Don’t think he was getting on his back more like expressing his opinion. One that I agree with he may well come back to form and I hope he does, signs that he will aren’t great though. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Policia Alba are the most professional force in the Uk, 2 hour tea breaks and 4 hour Lunch breaks is a hard case to crack in an 8 hour day. Watch Scot Squad it is nearer the truth of the matter than we think. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got the impression Pijper's place was secure (long term plan) and can't see them dropping a 3.6 rider for Boughen. Also is Boughen that much better than Pijper? They have similar averages in the NL. If Pijper was dropped (& still on a 2.00 ave) I'm sure Edinburgh would snap him up. I know it wouldn't make much difference but boughen over Pijper imo, his gating is very good and bike style. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely someone like Jack Smith for example would be a major upgrade. Totally agree re Dayle. Was under impression he was only a ‘stopgap few weeks signing’ Would rather a young GB rider was given the spot. One of the weakest riders ever toDon the blue and gold. Re Cookie - give the guy a break. He was in pieces last week. Taken a lot out him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Next time any British riders bemoan lack of opportunities, Edinburgh should be quick to reply with how many turned down a team place with them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
