I agree Lisa, although i did say that i think it's they way they will go, not myself . The Stars need to win this. If the Panthers win tomorrow (Mon) that will put the 2 points behind us going into the Sheffield meeting on Thursday. I would try for Zagar, but the cheapest will probably be RR, and that's what i think Alex will do.
The club say Jacks replacement should be in place by Thursday. Who it is, i ain't got a clue.
As for Niels, It will be RR or a guest from either BV or Wolves i guess.
Every wolves rider apart from Masters fits, and anyone from BV apart from Fricke and Kurtz. Zagar fits with the +5% for guests, but he won't be cheap and might not want it/busy elsewhere.
RR is probably the way they will go imho.
Two things. The good rider that i was told for the Panthers don't fit as a swap for NKI. The other, the said rider's arrival might of been affected by Niels ruling ?
I go a 2-4 point win for the Panthers
Spud averaged 4.90 in his 19 meetings for you in 2019. His 2019 Prem GSA is 4.87 . His converted current Champ GSA is 4.02 if that was used. I'd only consider him if 2 riders come in, allowing for a decent other. I wouldn't bring him in as a straight swap for anyone imho.
I don't agree that Poland dictate to "their" riders where they can ride, but you can't blame the riders for doing it. It's a short career that can end at anytime. When you hear that a GP rider can earn as much for a point in Poland as a meeting in the UK (un confirmed), you can see why they don't kick up a fuss . Myself i don't follow/watch anything other than British speedway.
Thanks Screm.
If it is only to the end of July we would manage with guests and RR, at a push, but not ideal. If it's for the rest of the season we're in the brown stuff, unless we can magic a decent rider out of thin air. I wish Jack a speedy, and in the mean time we have a replacement coming in.
I just had a look... From Dale, “It’s a tough one for us at the moment, but we do believe and understand that this rule will be changed for next year." Next year .
Time to get ruthless.. King's Lynn Pirates
After last season's disaster, i thought we might be able to do something this season. As it stands we're only 5 points ahead of the Panthers, who are bottom and due to strengthen..
