Don’t think he would want a fall with a shoulder injury and in any case we could could only replace with Ben Cook, Hume or the reserves so might as well be just the reserves.
Great news and I hope he doesn't pull up in his first heat, if he does then it's irr which definitely won't be good news but if he says he will be fit then we have to trust his judgment, he has probably been carrying the injury for a while.
Bjarne won't be the problem, Can't see Palin riding like he did at Belle Vue though and Cook would be a concern for a Panthers fan. Just hope they prepare the track so there is more than one line but Buster has his own ideas on track prep and material used which usually means cheap as possible.
Rory scored paid from 4 rides when guesting for Leicester against Plymouth, don't think that is terrible and if he dislikes he wouldn't have taken a guest booking. Zach Cook is obviously riding better now so i don't think that score will be repeated if he guested.
It isn't over protective, it is general throughout sport if you have concussion you have to rest for a period of time. A rider has died because he rode too soon and blacked out.
It wasn't listed as a fixture on our website but it is now. Saturday was also mentioned in the match report. Middlo said in the interview that Rory had the shoulder strapped up and hoped he would ok for Saturday but guest options are very limited.
