Fix

Don’t know, money?

Bowes out for the season  due to a 3-6 month recovery period from a 'bulging disc'!! Pirates have til their next meeting on 15th July (assuming England aren't in the World Cup semi final that day) to source a suitable replacement.

Is there a case for changing the way in which rolling averages work? Currently at Ipswich Tom Brennan is still heading the rolling averages with 7.24 but his actual 2026 average is 6.49 his 7.24 means he has to line up at number 1 but due to his very bad start to the season, possibly due to his leg break in the winter, Musielak, King & Lawson are all above him on 2026 figures. Should team assembly be done to rolling averages and riding position based on actual in year averages? Tom being forced to ride at number 1, even now in July, is not doing him or Ipswich any favours at all.

If one of the Northampton “directors” or whatever he calls himself, knew of Doyle’s availability, he should have been directing him there. I think now it’s pretty clear to everyone that help was initially there from certain people, to make a top league viable and nothing else. Not, to actually help that new club be competitive. 

We must be down to about ten of us rattling around in here now I wonder who the bookies have as the favorite to turn out the lights when the time comes.
