If there was going to be a concern about Glasgow not wanting to race without Brennan, why not arrange the remaining NDL fixture for Friday?

Think this tie is near from over (is that the opposite of far from over) Edinburgh can lose by 10 & still qualify!

I heard (unoficailly) that Edinburgh had turned down a date to race the KOC tie at Glasgow, if true they can't then demand Glasgow turn up if the weegies don't agree to the date!

If Brennan was no.2 in the averages I'd say use r/r, but he's 3rd in the averages so Cook wouldn't get an extra ride!

Is that really an advantage, as both teams will know the first match score?

Leicester can lose by 16 & still be in the semi finals, no chance for Scunny whatsoever! Leicester should go with r/r to give their riders track time & look for a guest to race against Poole!

As it contradicts the announcement by Jason Pipe, I'd say it could be clearer!

Kinsley wasn't missing due to a Championship clash, but because his machinery was stolen! According to the rules announced by Jason Pipe Morley shouldn't be allowed to guest! Seems either the announcement by Pipe was wrong or no-one knows the rules!

Pipe said: “If any riders are missing, it is now a Guest or R/R for a missing No.1, and then it is R/R for one rider missing in the positions 2-5. “If two riders are missing in the 2-5 positions, then it is R/R and an unattached 3.00 pointer. This is to try and eliminate the number of doubling-up riders we have in the NDL. “So if your team has two missing riders on higher-league duty that day, then it’s a guest and R/R, not two guests etc, as it was previously.

My memory is that's not the case, I'm sure they wanted to stop that to avoid doubling up riders racing in NDL!

I don't know how any club could legally stop riders racing on the IOW!

"Rule 013.6 NDL Facilities (Supplementary Regulations v2 2021) ii. A missing rider, 2 to 5 by MA, either RR or an unattached rider." The rules don't allow a guest for Joe Thompson it seems! Could use the guest for Dan & r/r for Joe though!

I see Adam Ellis scored 13 pts in France today! That's a quick recovery from illness!

Kind of a bizarre situation that the Colts had 2 x 3.00 reserves, both of whom doubled their averages, but they could still end up with the wooden spoon!

I'd be happy with that!

While that would be an ideal situation, how would they pay for the extra ambulance? Paying riders less or charging fans more?

Exactly that tells us nothing!

I think it's safe to say Freeman is well below 5.19 lol!

If that happens they should get a guest facility as MPT is "witholding his services" he then gets a 28 day ban & misses the 2nd leg of Premiership final!

So little has been announced about this (on official sites) I can't comment on wether he has been hard done by or been vilified against!

Could Leicester "rest" Hans Andersen & put out Tom Spencer to save money? They'd still qualify!

How has Pijper let you down? He's only missing because he's been banned!

Are you sure, I thought Poole could pick any opponent? Edit: just read the rules, you are correct!

Downside of that is having to us guests (which most despise) or r/r to replace a rider who wants to return!
