Laguta needs to be as far away from Foxhall as possible. the attitude between him & Emil was like night & day.

Sheffield will be utilising R/R for Jack Holder with all the other Premiership teams in action, so extra rides for some of the Tigers(Pickering, Holder snr, Flint & Rowe) based on last couple of matches though one or more of the rides could be covered the reserves who have been in more consistent form than Flint and Rowe.  Saying that R/R this season has never produced the points Jack Holder would have scored from his 4 rides around Owlerton. Northampton have a team with riders who can get the odd race win here and there at Owlerton if they pop out of the gate (Lidsey, Ellis & Klindt mainly) but don’t think that will be enough to stop what should be an easy home win for Sheffield, grabbing the bonus point as well securing their place in the play off’s. Home win for Sheffield 53-37

Very much agree, i'm not surprised Dan T didn't get many rides when I saw who he'd be fighting with for a spot.  A few years back when the Polish 3rd tier allowed one foreign junior to ride at reserve, I was surprised to see juniors racing in the second tier, I'm guessing they got paid more, but more likely to get a ride in the lower league.

What's Artem Laguta's stance on the Swedish situation? Wroclaw rider as well.

It’s a fair point and I guess we’ll know after the meeting if it’s the right call or not.  Even two or three points from the reserves is better than Nicholls giving it a go and not scoring a point.    “I’ve tested the shoulder on a mountain bike” doesn’t exactly fill me with much confidence tbh 🥴 Its only been five weeks since he broke his shoulder and at his age the old bones and recovery normally take longer to heal.    I could be doing him a disservice and he could weigh in with a solid eight or nine points and my concerns would have been for nothing who knows.    We’ll soon find out I guess. 

Yeh! But they don’t publish a”War and Peace” about them while still wanting to ride.
