Diamonds85 702 Posted February 25 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marky_Mark 55 Posted February 25 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marky_Mark 55 Posted February 25 Is a fully fit Eddie Kennett such a bad option in a watered down league? 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
