George is too high profile in the BPSA methinks. So they seem overly concerned not to show favouritism.

Brutal, but in this sport, as in many others, honesty often is.

I bloody well hope so, def. an early Chrissy pressie if we have.

Pity there is not a 'Not Like' button on here cos that end bit is highly likely. Mind you, your loss would be our gain.

Would hate to think that the Rebels management would drop an upcoming British prospect to fit in an Aussie, but to be honest, they have a habit of crapping on their signings if the wind direction changes. If he becomes available it might cause some head scratching for our owners too.

Would have liked to see them both back. Alas Richie's gone to cider country, but with the 'smugs' now out of his picture Brough might seem a good move. He knows he is well liked here and more local to Belle View.

So Cookie and Masters signed by Edinburgh and no room for Steve Worrall. Ooh Err Missis-maybe we do have a chance of him returning.

Would prefer a BIG surprise, but Steve Worrall would get my vote for a team birth.

Read somewhere that Fox is not riding UK next year. Visa probs? dunno.

Yeah, u r what u r, it shouldn't matter what 'EUROPEAN' language u speak. As long as it aint with an Antipodean accent without an 7.00 average As long as the loop-holes exist they will be exploited to gain an advantage. Not exactly rocket science.

C,mon people the Diamonds side of this forum has bin dead for too long. Will it really need me to suggest that Lewis Kerr is the product of an illicit relationship between Ranting Roy and Jonny Swales on a dark night in Cardiff to liven up this thread?

Well'l have em. at Brough. The welcome back for Nicky might even out do that for the current champ.

It all boils down to all promoters trying to bend, massage and in some cases even strangle the rules to their own advantage. Its basically a culture of 'lets give it a go and hope we can sneak it through'. The rule bending culture is regrettably more prevalent in some clubs than playing the game fairly. The 'win at any cost' ethos is unfortunately driven by the lure of 'filthy lucre'. Or is that merely keeping solvent.

Loving the fact that on the BSPA website the club press release regarding Lewis Kerr is in the Elite League section {they don't know something we don't do they?}

And Lewis Kerr back at Newcastle yippee.

Prefer to think that his sponsor wanted him at STMP than any other ground- shame. Great to see Lewis Kerr back again. Short of us signing a current 'star' I can easily see him becoming our no1 by the season's end.

Time for the twilight post. Robbo seemingly released with mutual consent. Just where are the Diamonds going? Believe me, I do stil have faith in our management, but sorry lads, you can only hide that rabbit for so long before it craps in your well-intentioned under garments

Sorry, call me thick, but that sounds like he asked for conditions which Newcastle were unwilling to agree to and prob. not of the financial nature.

Thought I read somewhere that Robbo wanted a weekday track to enable more family time, or is that just smoke and mirrors to cover up another Lemmo like dropping.

Just a little thought to stir up you early morning risers before this poor shift worker goes to bed. The likelihood of one Dakota North returning? Poss. controversial I know but has come on well this year and is cert. entertainment value imo.

So def. not Ulrich O. or Ricky Wells. Wish I knew if the deals are done dusted or fallen through. Lets hope the mystery is worth the wait.

With the swathe of rider announcements of the last couple of days the choices are shrinking. Noticiably absent are the Worralls mind you so who knows. Pity it seems no one realised that Barker fancied a trip up north.

We would have had him at Brough.
