As much as I like Richie, it seems a bit of a flimsy excuse! A bit like 'oh, I'll just say I thought they couldn't fit me in..'
Edinburgh was probably just his back up plan.
I don't think I'd not go, prob just moan about them the whole meeting! lol . Especially when they are a no1 who has only got 2 points at home and they are still in H13 even though reserves were scoring better!
Obviously not from this season! Pre covid times.
I thought it looked quite good! Charles Wright said they were having discussions on the podcast so should be in imo. I mean Richie and Tom at reserve! Not many be stronger and if someone in the 1-5 struggles occasionally doesn't matter as much.
I'm glad to hear there as some sort of AGM, as I'm sure I read in the local press that Danny Ford said he wasn't going to announce any signings til after it. So thought I was going to have to turn up in March/April and see who comes to the tapes!
The only thing about the Championship not using RS anymore is, are there enough from the NL able to move up and not struggle doing it? Is that why they have dropped it. As I think there is more than enough from the Championship that could compete in the Prem as RS. I'm happy to be corrected as usual!
You can win the title like that, top heavy teams have in the past like Poole 2003 when we had Adams and Rickardsson but you have to get the middle order riders right that are on false averages.
