Hopefully having Cook in the team will generate friendly rivalry with Ruthless for the no 1 spot and see him start to show his 2018 league form which has been hit and miss thus far

Why would NKI miss 8 matches? Thought the reason for moving to Monday and Thursday stopped international clashes?

Spot on. Runaway victories every week. Don't know how we got away with the concrete wall just behind the boards.

Riss named in GP qualifier on 8th June, wonder if he'll be fit by then and if so back in the team....and replacing who.....

I hope that's the plan. Love watching Riss, no way would we not want him back in the team once fit. You have to wonder if Riss not injured in first place that it would have been a different change to get Cook in

If Erik is out for a short while, any replacement for him should be short term injury replacement until he is fit. He is one of the better riders in the team who we can't afford to lose. Permanent replacements need to be for those under performing....

S Lambert and Kasper at reserve....we'd be cannon fodder. Don't know what the answer is, but we need a tweak somewhere or we ain't gonna make top 4.

I've yet to see Kerr produce his pre injury form. With the Lambo not hitting last season's highs yet and the rest of the team hit and miss we will struggle even more carrying Kerr when he drops to reserve. Have our averages dropped enough to get NKI back or Cook in the team somewhere?

My money would be on r/r but no doubt announced on the parade

yep and same between bends 1/2. Kev is always loud and clear but the interviewee, the interesting bit, forget it... Two microphones with different volumes set maybe?

That was my co conclusion. No disrespect to Simon, but he's reached his level in the sport and is hardly the sort of signing we need in 2019. We needed him to keep scoring at end of last season when MPT was injured and his performances went the other way

Assume kl go on Monday to allow Ipswich / Peterborough to use Thursday?

Hope Stars can keep this close. Never sure which away performance you'll get ..

Hope forecast is right, been raining all morning 10 miles south east of Norwich KL is apparently dry...

Thought it had been changed to Leicester v KL. Not sure of reasons. All will be confirmed during tonight's GP I suspect...

Top 4 is looking like Poole, Somerset, Stars. Swindon look perilous with number of matches ridden, so Belle Vue need Wolves to get nothing from these matches so Bewley or Fricke would be best option. Cook is too unpredictable. R/r too risky for double header

Why is it a a rip off? Half price for second meeting sounds reasonable. BUT if injuries and delays turn it into a fiasco, then it ain't reasonable!

Not ideal, but guess options are limited this close to play offs. Just hope neither team start with r/r so we have a fighting chance of getting 2 reasonable meetings. Also notice it's a 7pm start makes it tight after work...

Lynn reserves will do well to get more than a point between them, unless a different Newman turn up on Wednesday. Our top 5 might do enough to scrape a point. Be interesting to see the effect of riding order change for stars, at least we shouldn't keep losing heat 1....

Clearly didn't come across well on TV. For those of us at the track it was a good match, close score, close racing, a few passes and the rebels went home pointless. Stars certainly need to look at reserve positions, not sure I'd persevere with Newman at reserve on Wednesday. Awful tonight. Managed to make Lambert (s) look good. Could do with MPT back at reserve, so if that means replacing garrity then so be it....

Would have to consider something like that. Depends on how fit garrity is, especially if his hand ain't gonna be healed for a few weeks. Getting MPT back at reserve would be a real bonus

Thought had crossed my mind. Give him a couple of guest appearances to see how he goes. Smart move...

Robert Lambert....wow!!!!! Stunning display. All round solid display from the rest of stars. According to twitter garrity has broken bone in his hand so Kyle Newman guesting on Monday and Wednesday. Hope he's not out long or it's back to drawing board for a replacement....

Hope so, planning to use mine tonight. Could be another close one. Looks like two fairly evenly matched sides. I'd be happy with win, but not as close as Monday please. I was nervous just watching scores on twitter!

Hope buster can give garrity a bit of track time ahead of this match. He'll need to be dialled in against the pirates reserves.
