You find them a rider who wants the job and I'm pretty sure they will sign him

I'd be throwing everything I could at Adam Ellis personally. And if he doesn't fit I'd drop Jacob Hook (I know it's harsh) for a 2 or 3 pointer, whatever fits.

Can't imagine Saturday nights would suit his schedule

That's a shame... Other than Riss (same issue?) I really can't see anyone else being suitable. Plymouth are kinda screwed I think

Any other PL riders that could double down? As you say they do have 2 strong reserves and could swap one for a 2 pointer. Would be harsh but can’t run without a number 1.

Have no idea on averages, availability or affordability but maybe one of the following?

Holder

Tungate

Becker

Basso

Tarasenko

Wojdylo

Ellis

Rew

Lidsey

Blodorn

I'd say there is a very good chance that every single one of those riders will be doing the Polish Leagues on a Sunday and therefore unable/unwilling to ride on a Saturday over here.

Is a fully fit Eddie Kennett such a bad option in a watered down league?

One ride and injured??!! and guest riders all season again :blink:

I just wonder what makes more business sense now. A weaker team on Saturday nights or Tuesday nights with one of the named riders at no.1? Seems whatever Plymouth do goes against them
