iainb 5,231 Posted May 2 It turns out "laughing" Ritchie Hawkins didn't need to do anything clever with R/R after all as Ippo had more than enough to hand Lions their arses on a plate just playing it straight! Lions reserves outscored 14-1 smh Well done Ippo 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teromaafan 594 Posted May 2 When you have three riders who cannot beat an opponent between them, it’s surprising that the score was as close as it was! Did Dickson show up for the after match interview? (Can’t be bothered to stop after the final race anymore). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gasser90 238 Posted May 2 I think there’s quite a big gap in the top 5 rising stars on the list compared to the rest, Mulford, hagon, smith, trigger, hodder are best of the rest but on paper joe thompson should be way better than all of them around Leicester Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes he did, no Joe and surprisingly no Lawson who should have been Lions rider of the night. 9 minutes ago, Gasser90 said: I think there’s quite a big gap in the top 5 rising stars on the list compared to the rest, Mulford, hagon, smith, trigger, hodder are best of the rest but on paper joe thompson should be way better than all of them around Leicester The only option is to pass Dan off as Joe!

When is Cairns eligible? William Cairns is not 15 until June so another year yet ! As others have said on this thread very little options for RS on paper and NL form J Thompson should be better than Jake Mulford, Freddy Hodder, Max Perry and Ben Trigger If Oxford drop Boughen for Sam Hagon would he be any better ? Would Ben Barker or Paco Castagna be better than Drew Kemp ? Leicester cannot fit in Lewi Kerr / Craig Cook so options appear limited to make changes at Leicester at the moment Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
