Is R/R even an option  - it shouldn't be!!

A lot of Sheffields hopes rest on Jack being able to come back fit for 2027 if this hand injury takes longer to sort out than expected it makes me wonder who they could get in even short term, heading into your first match with r/r at number one won't have them flocking in through the gates.

I look at the reaction differently. Doyle signed for Belle vue half way through the season for an injured rider. An opportunity anyone would be silly to turn down and it paid off for him. I'm sure a few were upset by it. Which again I find baffling.

Less of that Bagpuss lol we both remember the days of pinning your hopes in a heat 13 decider, on Reggie and Paul Woods v peak Nielson and Wigg, makes the possible stars 2027 offering look like Cradley 1984.

And they need to... As, sadly, the six months leading up to them seldom deliver either....

Plenty of Ipswich fans on here were very unhappy that Doyle signed for the Aces, given they were desperate for a "proper" No1 themselves... With the over riding narrative being they should let Brennan and A.N Other go, (whoever's average worked best), to bring in Doyle and "someone else"... With Mayfield's "loyalty" being held up as the reason it won't/didn't happen, which, as they let Brennan go anyway, was, in hindsight, an opportunity missed... However. The other way of looking at it though is that by keeping their team together last season it has meant plenty of opportunity to bring in two top level riders for this season coming... With Cairns too it looks a very decent team, and should bring in a few non regulars to away tracks in particular...
