The Third Man 2,217 Posted September 28, 2023 7 minutes ago, 2ndbendbeerhut said: Which is why Sheffield picked Vissing... they knew he wouldn't be available.... As for Harris guesting for Sheffield .... So a rider in the play offs can't guest for another team .... but one not in the play offs can guest for 2 different teams .. Rule book really needs a long overdue rewrite.... More conspiracy theory's So Sheffield signed Vissing knowing he would get injured so that he couldn't ride for us and we could have guests its a shame we didn't know how Tai would be injured, we could have warned him to be more careful at Cardiff, then we would still have him riding for us, need a new crystal ball obviously 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Made the rider more determined and did score more points... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't think Sheffield will be paying him the same incentive though Was he ? Thats mpossible to tell. I don't think anyone in there right mind would pick Harris over Doyle at Ipswich .

It shouldn't be difficult to do Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,706 Posted September 28, 2023 With rain in the air it opens up another potential test for the regs I believe the team trailing at heat 10 can request the match be be curtailed if conditions are poor, the team leading cannot So what if Wolves are leading by 8 after 10 - can Sheffield request it called as the team trailing in the meeting or is it the aggregate score More and more it seems what the regs don't say is taken as most important as opposed to what they do say - it could be vital if the above were to occur.......

Winning it in a Grand final makes it so much bigger, great crowds, great atmospheres, you can't beat it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
