Resting up. He's included in the Poole 1-7 (if fit). Brummies have Josh Pickering guesting for Morris. This will be Kyle Newman's last outing at 2 and Anders at 6 before they swap for September Edited August 28, 2023 by Skidder1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

King, Wright, Howarth, Schlein best choices. Scott Nicholls also fits btw, but prob not a choice for obvious reasons. But not stopping Josh guesting for Brum when could affect Edinburgh.

lbw 869 Posted August 29, 2023 If Dan Bewley is allowed to replace Lawson in the Premiership then he should be allowed to do it in the Championship. Yes it would be laughable if allowed but equally outsiders would raise the question why isn't it allowed when it's the same riders involved. Anyways our Rocket Man is better than Dan......maybe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It looks like Birmingham's easy option rather than to sign a permanent replacement for Nick Morris was to book Josh Pickwickering for as many of the remaining fixtures as possible (except for the meeting up in Edinburgh of course) - A semi-permanent guest #1 kind of arrangement kind of thing is probably better than having someone different every meeting.
